Thanks for the good news!

I jumped on the deal even though my Radeon 4850 is still good. Although new cards are on the horizon, I figure the Evga card will be a lot easier to resell on Amazon, as opposed to my Asus Radeon 4850, which is a discontinued first revision card.

coupons wont stack with EPP, etc

I wonder how loud this bad boy is? Under load specifically...my current card is LOUD when that fan cranks up.

They had this deal in June but the rebate was $20 then....getting
sweeter every month.

FYI

fredd369 at Slickdeals said: OK I CALLED Dell about the september shipping date. they said the shipping date was NOT CORRECT. The shipping date should be within this week. I received next date shipping for my troubles and she told me that she would call on thursday to double check that my item has been shipped. so there u have it, its NOT september.

i bought a 1GB 9600GT for a new machine, havent opened it yet, is this that much better of a card? Why or why not?

This card will smash a 9600GT, I'd suggest returning it and buying this one.

Well depends what you paid and what your going for 1920x1080 Max IQ current gen?

Anyways at max settings this thing is like %40 faster and even more at lower res's.

UPS just delivered this card I ordered on Sunday, talk about fast delivery.

Hmmm, my order status page says shipped and I ordered late this afternoon. So much for 9/15 ship date.

OK, I believe, I believe, I am in for one, thanks OP and all others who gave feedback.

sleepybubba said: Just ordered one. Of course the delivery date is 9/15...Will be calling and bitching about it shortly. Hopefully it will fit inside my HTPC case. Anybody with experience of this card usage in HTPC?

I'm not very familiar with HTPC cases, but I do know that I have a rather large Antec case, and even with as much space as I have, I'm going to have to remove a drive cage just to fit this thing in. My old 9600GT is about 9" long, which gave it about one inch of clearance from the back of one of my hard drives. This one is 10.5", so that would put it right in the drive cage.

Off topic question, but since I'm going to have to put both of my SATA hard drives in the same three slot drive cage, is it a good idea to separate them with a USB/card reader bay? I wonder if having two hard drives right up against each other is going to cause heat damage to them. I can't really point any case fans directly at the drive cages in this case, although there is one intake fan pointing horizontally at the bottom of the front bezel, several inches below the drives.

purin said: hi guys...
Having a hard time deciding between this SC version from TigerDirect and the MSI 4890 OC at ZZF. $199 - -2.5% BCB - $30 MIR - $30 eBM = $135sh....
Suggestions on which way to go?
thanks

EVGA. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Excellent products and their rebates get paid very fast. MSI gear is ok, but many have bad rebate experiences with them, myself included (plus the 4890 deal has a second rebate involved, for eBM). I am still trying to talk myself into this deal, moving from an current 8800GTS 512.

I just got off the phone with Dell Customer Support and they're saying they have no idea when the item will ship and it's "Temporarily Out of Stock". Since I placed the order yesterday afternoon (7th), I'll give it through the weekend and cancel next week if nothing happens.
