I really need to get a new video card. The BFG 5900XT OC is on sale for $180 after mail-in-rebate at Best Buy. I don't order things online. Would it be worth it to get this card, it has a lifetime warranty. Worth It????

Are there better cards? Yes.
Are there better deals? prob not.

There are plenty of places on line to get a R9800 128MB for that price.
But it would be hard to beat your price anywhere.

It's a shame you don't buy anything online.

The Radeon 9700 Pro, a superior card, can be had for the same price or less <i>without</i> a sale.

That is a reasonable price for the card, but you will probably get more bang for the buck with a Radeon 9800 Pro 128. They can be had for around $200US now-a-days. The 5900XT is not bad, but you may be happier with an Ultra series card, such as the 5900U or 5950U. They are increasingly hard to find though.

Good luck with your new purchase..
