This does seem too good to be true, but electronicadirect.com has 2 GTX 260 video cards for very low prices, and Live.com currently is offering 20% cash-back from electronicadirect.com

There's something weird with Newegg's site. It states that the original price is $239 and add to cart to see the price. But when I added it to cart, it's $298!

It has 896 MB of memory....like, wow.
Thanks OP....now I can sell my Radeon X1950 Pro...hopefully get at least $70.
Frankly at $175 this is a HOT deal. for $140 it's crazy hot. Alot of people will kick themselves for missing this one.

Many, many reasons even if you don't consider that this card is probably a bit faster. Most of the reviews that suggest getting a 4850 over a gtx 260 were if the 4850 cost less than 199 and the GTX 260 around 299.
I think it depends a lot on if people have or plan to get boards that support SLI/Crossfire. Also most of the ATI rebates only work for one item and many people want to get at least two at this price or have already used the rebate on a differnt card, or just don't like rebates.
Also the person may already have one GTX 260 so this is more valuable to them for SLI, or they have a 8 or 9 series geforce and will be able to use the extra card as a physics processor when the new drives come out.
It could also depend on what game(s) the person wants the card for since nvidia/ati have different performance in differnt games, even more so when you take Crossfire/SLI profiles into account.
Their is also brand preference for both the chipset and the board maker. A big reason for me always going NVidia is that my two favorite manufactures right now are XFX and EVFGA which both are known to have great customer service and warranty. Before they became so highly regarded BFG had the best service and warranty in my experience and they also were mostly an NVidia shop.
Resolution and AA/Filtering options can make a big difference too since the cards scale differently, this card should certainly be faster at the resolution that is native to my 24
waxking1 responded on AT and stated that he ordered from Compusource, not ED so the ED orders are not (at this time) being cancelled and are going forward. Good luck!!!
"Your credit card has been charged for a total amount of $188.30. Your order will be shipped promptly. Your tracking number will be emailed to you upon order shipment."
fingers crossed.. just need confirmation for the other order.
At times I wonder again at my 8800GT that was 160, but then the only thing I can call advantage is the lowest power usage of the high end level video cards.
I'm trying to find more reasons to keep my 8800GT D: but I keep seeing these deals D:

20" or higher, you might want to upgrade if you want the eye candy turned up.

We sincerely regret to inform you that we will be unable to supply you with this card at the current time. We have oversold our available inventory and unfortunately EVGA is out of stock on this piece. It is an end of life product for them.
Due to an error on the manufacturer and distribution level the product sold at an unanticipated rate. We have attempted for the past few days to source the product but were not successful. We have therefore canceled your order, and if there were any charges, we have refunded your credit card account.
