NE: ASUS GTX 570 DCII $258 shipped AR

[cytoSiN]

ASUS ENGTX570 DCII/2DIS/1280MD5 GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

$280 - $30 rebate + $8 s&h = $258 ($250 with shoprunner).

Warm deal on a cool card! Sorry, that wasn't even a little funny.

It's an older card, but I love mine. This is by far the cheapest it's been on the Egg:

Considering a second one to SLI (even through they're 3-slots each, I should just have room), but might just hold out for next gen since the one I have now handles just about everything I've thrown at it maxed out.

Not hot when you can get a MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr II for $190 shipped after $40 rebate (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...a-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687) or a MSI GTX 660 for $205 AR (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699). Better yet, a HD 7870 for $200 after $20 rebate (
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161404) can run circles around the 570, while consuming significantly less power.

I don't understand why anyone would want this card (other than for SLI maybe) when 7870/660 cards are faster, cheaper and use less power. This is not a good deal.

I came here to see if someone accidentally (or on purpose) bumped a thread from last year or something...

Lol, same thoughts here. The vanilla GTX 660 is on par or faster than a 570, cheaper, 2GB of vram, and consumes much less power.

If i were upgrading mine today it would definitely be a GTX 660.

I'm not entirely sure why the 570 prices are staying so high. It doesn't really add up to me. I've have one for almost 2 years now, and I was hoping I'd be able to double it up when the next gen comes out and they get cheap but they aren't dropping fast enough. The cheapest is $100 less than what I paid originally.

I got my zotac amp Gtx 570 for 199.99 after instant rebate.

I never understood stuff like this either. Supply and demand usually rules all. Supply is probably still just fine really but demand has been shifting to newer cards for awhile now one would think. It's the same deal with previous generation CPU prices being really high. Unless there is some intentional price fixing to encourage people to buy the new gen stuff or the vendors are just stubborn and trying to squeeze as much margin as they can for stuff they've already paid for sitting on the shelf.

actually 570/580's have already been EOL'd so the supply is dwindling. The occasional sale is probably due to individual vendors wanting to clear out their remaining inventory.

This thread can just die. An overpriced old card at a price they have been on sale for - for over a year.
