This requires a bit of finagling on your part, but it's not that hard.

The card is $207 with a $20 mail in rebate. Enter the coupon code GPUOMG20 for an instant $20 off. Use the Live Cashback Feature to search for SuperBiiz and use that link to get to the store for another 5% off. Brings it down to around $157 + 12 for shipping.

this pricing is getting too good to refuse, even w/ tax

That's pretty much the conclusion I reached, so I jumped on it. Should be a massive increase from my 9600GT.

It looks like the comparable Nvidia card is the 275, right? That's over $225. Wow.

EDIT: Actually, benchmarks suggest the 285 is the most comparable? Is that correct? That costs even more.

I might have a reason to upgrade from my 7900GT. I only play TF2, but at 1920x1200, i have to keep some of the detail down right now.

Tempting, but I just bought another LCD...priorities...ugh! 😱

Damn great price.... Crossfire 4890's for $320.

That is cheap!

You won't get that 5% cashback. I tried when I used a coupon on a cpu from ewiz.

Exactly what I'm thinkin'. Do you think my E8400 clocked at 4.5Ghz can take advantage of both of those bad boys? Maybe I'll just get one.

Wow, sick video card deals these days!

I just got in on the two 9800GTs for $66ea from Dell Home deal. Now this... I want two, but I already spent my cash. 😛

WOW.

Wow nice! Too bad I haven't opened a game on my PC since I bought a PS3.

Is this card worth an upgrade over my existing gtx-260?

192 core GTX 260 at stock speeds. Maybe

Overclocked GTX 260. Not really.

I game mostly FPS (L4D, COD:WAW, FEAR2 etc.) and flight sims (FSx, DCS:BS etc.)
The GTX is merely less than a year old but seems struggling mostly with FSx.

Do they cancel it or does it just never show up?

Mine just never showed up. This deal looks dead $205 after rebate.

so tempting. i almost jumped on this earlier today when first posted, but i'd better save my $157 to go towards a 5870.
