[Dethman]

comes with a free Rainbow 6 vegas 2 OEM also

I sold my 4850, and just ordered this

Read my review on this card. This card actually OC's higher than my eVGA one.

[Dethman]

yea, i read your new egg reviews...nice overclock to 740..
that is why i like this card, i believe after you overclock a gtx260 and a 4870, the overclocked gtx260 will give you more stable higher fps then the oc´d 4870.

I dont think the brand has anything to do with how well it overclocks, they are all the same card and fan, just differnt sticker/warrenty/Customer service.

I think 3 year warrenty is plenty, ive never kept a card longer than a year and a half.

I also dont think there will be much to step up to in the next 3 months, other than the upgraded shader model...and a few more fps...whatev :rolleyes:

Nice price. If I didn't already have a 8800GTS, I'd grab this but I don't see a need for it at the moment.

I have two of these and they're pretty nice. mine clock very well and run cool also.. 700/1463/1205 and load in the 50s with my fans @ 70% in SLI... not too shabby. ;) bang for your buck I don't think it gets any better than these cards.

[nflesher87]

that's more than warm IMO

[lowteckh]

This would be the 192 shader version I assume

yep, thus the price and rebate, they're trying to clear 192 shader core stock

[FBR_BDavis]

I have THREE of these cards, and they ROCK.. ;) Patiently awaiting the Big Bang 2 drivers so I can run all of my monitors when in SLI mode, but, until that time, they still kick serious arse when not SLI'd.. ;) Runnin' 3 22" Samsung 225BW monitors plus a 7" touchscreen on an ASUS Crosshair 2 780a motherboard.. WEE!!

For $200 and MSI video card quality, it's tough to match.. Went from my MSI 8800GT OC cards to the GTX260s, and couldn't be happier.. :)

Just to let you guys know you can get this same card through the ebay deal (including MIR) for ~$145.

I'm not sure the MIR can be applied to the e-bay auction - it says it's only for authorized retailers and judging from the fact that the e-bay auction company itself doesn't have a link to the rebate, it may not be authorized.

[lowteckh]

Says that the eBayer is ewiz, so wonder if the "authorized reseller" applies.

How much power do you need for a gtx 260?I am thinking I may want to get one.
I have a antec ea500d with 44amp on the 12volt.with 2 6 pin pcie connectors is this enough juice for a 260

You have to go to the Live Search page, search for something like Wii or PS3 and then click the link that includes the Cashback %. Usually the first one in the sponsored links area right under the input box.

Tried it and it didnt show up in the sponsored link. Does it mean its over?>

[Matrices]

Look at the very top of the search results. Clck the icon of a gold coin and a dollar sign. Again, though, I don't trust that the MIR applies here.

Anyone know if this rebate is still honored from an ebay retail store? Ewiz website is superbizz now but the rebate is there.

[jhego]

Is the cashback instant? Or do i wait several days?

[aZn_plyR]

You have to wait 60 days.

That's more than enough. I'm using a Silverstone STEF-50SC PS iwth only 38 amps on the +12V rail, 4 SATA drives, an OC'd Xeon at 3.8 Ghz (need to update sig), and 8 gigs of RAM, and I have no stability issues.

[Dethman]

the price went back up to 219.99

was only a weekend thing, glad i jumped! saved 20bucks

The answer is yes to the ewiz ebay store. I emailed the video card company. Too bad my power supply is not powerful enough. It is sold out anyway.
