great deal, had to bite. Looks like a decent cooler too, so this should OC up to near 3870 speeds. Look at the rebate closely tho - must be POSTMARKED within 16 days of PURCHASE. I'm sending that rebate out the second it hits my door BTW Apollo website also lists this as stock overclocked at 700 (Turbo-Cool EC Edition) for this model number.
Apollo? Is that considered a no-name brand? I've never heard of them before.

annaconda, what brand card and ram chips are on your 3850 that you got running at 750/2000?
Well, i found one guy who has good things to say about Apollo. I am getting impatient for a new card and want a 512 MB 3850, so i might as well try this out.
I'll report back if there are any problems.
Got mine an hour ago.
It looks just like the one on newegg. The cooler is pretty nice, but I didn't see how it performed. It does seem like a short card, but I'm not sure what the standard length is. The stock core is 670, like newegg says.
I'm moving today, otherwise I'd take some pictures.
He did say something about the Apollo but DOESNT have any experience with it.
2 - I would personally go with the 8800GT. If you need an AMD card go with the 3870 one. I have owned a few Apollo cards and never had any issues with them. In fact I gave my mother my old Apollo GeForce 5200FX 128MB (PCI - best card I ever owned - for its time) and its still going strong with a hefty overclock.
I know what is missing in this card, and it is HDMI connection. That is why it is shorter.

Just got my card an hour ago and went straight to 770/2000 with Rivatuner since ATI Overdrive wouldn't let me go past 730.
Best Buy has a Visiontek for $159, no rebate. Linky.
I personally use this card and have had no issues. If the card's broken you can always return to B&M.
BestBuy card is 256mb only this is 512MB card we are talking about here.
