I tried but they are on backorder. The $15 in tax and $8 in shipping is a bit steep.


how is giga on rebates?

Rebate is through Galaxy. I got in on Galaxy GTS250 $50 deal a while back with rebate, received rebate without any problems.

It's only 768MB of memory compared to this thread's card 1GB of memory.

Yeah, I know that, but it's still a good alternative for the price (+ free shipping), since the Galaxy is OS and has a shipping charge ($7.49 for me) and tax for some.

The MSI card also has a 3 year parts warranty versus a 2 year for the Galaxy.

Review Conclusion, if you have the time read the full review: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_460_Cyclone_OC_768_MB/35.html

Yes, I know that they compare the oc'ed (725Mhz) MSI card to a stock (like the Galaxy card) GTX 460 1GB. I'd like to see a comparison of a fully oc'ed MSI GTX 460 768MB to a fully oc'ed GTX 460 1GB, but if you don't oc your video card, for the price, the MSI would be the better choice.

Looks like there is a free shipping code for all orders over $25, code: SAVER.

I still don't see in in stock though.

And if they did have it in stock before 9/30, Then $20 off $100, code: 20DOWN .

That would have been very nice...I have no idea if they stack either.

I thought it worth mentioning that the rebate is channel wide and good 'til 10/31, meaning that you can buy the card anywhere and still get the rebate. :)

I just got an email from gamestop saying something had been shipped.
No confirmation number or anything.
the only thing I have ordered from them is this video card.
SO maybe that is what they are shipping in plain brown envelope with no return to keep my purchase confidential.
WAIT thats the movies I ordered at ........... LOL

Back in stock for $209.00 with a $20.00 rebate.

Is 189 after rebate any good for this card?

any speculation on the ati release later this month? Think it would be better to wait?

It is only 2 weeks or so left, so, if you can wait, why not.

If AMD's cards are good, then you are going to see some price drops.

i bet a nickel that ati's card at this price point will be no better than the 460 1gb... and remember, the 1gb has more than just 256mb more memory than the 768...

Yup, it has the full, ungimped 256-bit memory bandwidth. The GTX 460 1GB is a terrific card for sure. We'll know in two weeks what DAAMIT has to offer to counter it.
