Normally TigerDirect's sales offer little of interest or little that is actually cheaper than NewEgg's regular prices. Today's hyped up Black Friday in April sale, though, has an OEM ATI 5850 for $270 and free shipping.
Counting shipping, that's more than $45 cheaper than the cheapest available 5850's on NewEgg (an XFX and a Gigabyte.)
I didn't know there even were unbranded video cards. Are these to be avoided for some reason? Lack of customer support? No driver updates? Is this a good deal or more trouble than it's worth?
