Hi all,
I though I would let those of you who don't already know. Best Buy is selling the BGF 8800 GT OC card for $279.
This weekend they have 10-12% off coupons with RewardsZone membership and if you sign up for special double points before 11am you get $10 in rewards certificates. Bottom line: the card costs you $265 after tax (in CA) and you get $10 for future purchases = $255.
I think this is a great deal. I just picked up one myself. Finding it was hard and only one store in LA has them in stock but I found it thanks to a helpful BB employee (imagine that).
The card barely fits in my system, but it runs everything I have installed absolutely maxed OUT !!! AND it runs on 400W PSU without a problem.
I hope some of you will be able to get this sweet deal.

PS. This post is not meant to promote BB in any way, it is meant as pure and simple deal announcement.
EDIT:
I think my CPU (AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+) is choking the card. I got 18fps average in Company of Heroes on DX10 settings all maxed out.
BMW M3 Challenge maxed out is also in the teens. BTW I play my games at 1680x1050.
