9700nonpro - where to buy?

**DJBeanPole17** · 08-08-2003, 01:00 PM

That's pretty much it - where are locations that I could purchase a 9700np. I just wanted to see the prices (I'm still considering a 9500pro) but I just wanted to see where and what the 9700np prices were

Thanks

The 9700np is really placed poorly these days as most vendors are selling the 9800np just around $20 extra. Typically $230-250 is the range of the 9700 while the 9800 is $250-270. Currently newegg has the two cars at $240 and $259 respectively. And of course there is now the Compusa deal on the 9800Pro

Yea at 299 its a good deal. Have you been looking around for a new video card Sapasion?

I saw the Powercolor Gold (oooohhh) at Gamwve.com for $219 w/shipping.
I shouln't be sarcastic as it's MY card at present ($198 w/ship, hehheh)....

Still looks, though, like the 9800 is the better value.

Sort of but seeing as I never spend more than $200 on anything and rarely even exceed $100 I'm probably not going to make any sudden moves. Also I can play everything I choose at 1600x1200 already. Admittedly I use no AA or AF but really at 16x12 I'm living OK without them.

I'm running a R9700np at Pro speeds and I still run my games with no AA or AF..

MEE TOO

Maybe when I move on to games like NWN or something, but for now, liquid frame rates is what I need over good looking graphics because I couldn't care less if the person I just killed in UT2003 looks nice as they blow up....

Any website link as to where to buy a 9700np?

**Chuck232** · 08-09-2003, 05:15 PM

They are very rare now. I just checked at mwave that had them recently, but they're all gone now.

**DJBeanPole17** · 08-09-2003, 05:17 PM

Nuts. I really wanted to find one - if I can't, then what would be a better buy (9500pro is now out of the question).

1) Radeon 9700Pro All-in-wonder
2) Radeon 9700np allinwonder
3) Radeon 9800pro
4) Radeon 9800np

Or whatever else you guys would think is good for a 200-300 budget for a vid card.
