EVGA GeForce GTS 250 PCI-E 1GB Video Card

[leonardosf]

Amazon has it for $115, free shipping. Plus there's a $40 Rebate, reducing the price to $75. This is an excellent video card for the price. Model: 01G-P3-1145-TR

UPDATE:
Sorry, I put the GTS 450 instead of the GTS 250. I corrected it. Thanks for your comments guys!

That's a link to GTS 250. You'll be better off getting a 768MB GTX 460 for $15-25 more

Yup, wrong card linked. The cheapest you can currently get the GTS450 is $100AR at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130572.

And BTW, the GTX460, while vastly superior, is not "$15-25" more than the $75 GTS250. While there was a promotion at Tigerdirect with a $60 rebate, that's totally dead (now $140 after $40 rebate, old thread is at: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2129547), and the cheapest GTX460 is $125AR at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500173

the cheapest GTX460 is $125AR

And a Zotac rebate at that....they don't pay.

In all honesty, a lot of companies don't pay, or at least don't want to pay. I'm having a heck of a time getting the rebate on my EVGA GTX460. I've submitted it three times now.

Yes, they appear to be one of the worst. I absolutely will NOT do a Zotac rebate. I remember some people posting that Zotac denied some customers rebates because they got a rebate sometime before even though on a totally different product and offer.

They were apparently telling their customers that its only one rebate for life. Doesn't matter if its a previous product/rebate offer.

They've apparantly fixed that but they still don't seem to be paying people for the rebates from what i've seen on newegg and such.

Anyways, I will NOT give Zotac my hard earned money if a rebate is involved...

In that case, the cheapest GTX460-768 is this Gigabyte for $140 after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125334.

The killer deals on the GTX460-768 are dead. I'd recommend the superior HD6850 in that price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131374

But back to the OP - the GTS250 for $75 actually isn't a terrible deal, nor is the GTS450 for $100.

Yeah but there were 2 $90 deals for the galaxy 460 768 just a couple weeks ago. It's tough to go back now.
