I want to buy a new video card in the next couple of months. I was thinking about buying a 9800np when it comes down in price. When I was looking I saw that 5900's were about the same price. I was wondering which one is faster and better for gaming? Thanks for the input.
IMO, I would say the 9800np.
Okay thanks. That was the way I was going to go. Can anybody change my mind?
EDIT: Also does anybody know where I can find a 9800np? The only places so far I have found are Newegg.com and ATACOM.com. Thanks!
nope, go with the Radeon!
Based on current card technology, I would also back the Radeon at this point.
Try your local, Best Buy, Compusa and Circuit City stores too see if they have any in stock.Quote:

If you have a BestBuy around you get their R9800NP for $299.99
Ugggh, but that is full MSRP.Quote:

Retail also.
i think best buy has it (9800np) for 229.99 dont they?
What do you get in the retail package that you don't get with the OEM version, besides a fancy box?Quote:

Retail also.
Also, it would appear that the 9800np have disappeared from the Newegg site again.
If I was going to buy a 9800np from BB, I would wait til one of their sales, because they usually have them for the same $249 they go for online.
Don't you have more warrenty on a retail product?Quote:

I believe that was a 9800pro he got for $299.99, I believe the 9800np`s are cheaper, I got mine for $249.99 and I believe the price has dropped a little after I bought mine.Quote:
