Seems like a sweet deal to me.

That looks like a good deal. I just wouldn't count on Zotac to pay the rebate. However, it looks like they have a 3rd party handling their rebates now, so who knows.

I thought the same as you but I recently bought one of these and they paid the rebate faster than I have ever received one. It was only about 10 days max !

This card is fast and very quiet. Zotac is pretty impressive these days.

Yup, Zotac has 4myrebate handling their rebates now, so they should be as safe as every other company that uses them.

Not really the best deal these days when you can get a GTX660 or Radeon 7850 2gb for around $170 or less. Both the GTX660 and 7850 will be faster overall, take less power and run a lot cooler.

Only reason I could think of to get one of these at this price is if you're into folding or need a second one for SLI or something.

maybe i've missed it but I haven't seen the GTX 660 for under $200 AR. The HD 7850 has 2 gb which pays off @ highest res. but usually lags behind the 570 in most instances. Personally I would like to see the HD 7870 hit this price point. All in all I still think this is a good deal.

No, it really isn't.

The GTX 570 uses over 100W more at load than the GTX 660 for performance that is broadly similar. Fermi just isn't competitive anymore.
