Somewhat urgent: Does ATI print serial numbers on thier boxes?

H3LL5P4WN · 14-September-04, 10:20 PM

I'm thinking of heading out to CompUSA tomorrow, and I need to know if ATI prints the serial numbers on thier x800 Pro boxes.

According to this, I may be able to get myself an ATI VIVO card at plain-jane Pro prices:

So if you pimps can either tell me 'yes they print them' or 'no, go to newegg', I would greatly appreciate it.

In my experiences, there is usually a little window where you can see the serial numbers from.

You give me hope.

You'll have to ask somebody, usually they only keep one empty box of the high end stuff on the shelf. @ least @ my compusa...

Mine doesn't even keep the high end stuff on the floor, empty box or not.

Same deal here - I have bought retail cards before and theres usually a little cut out so that you can see the sticker on the back of the card with the serial number and info on it.
