NOTE: Yes I know that for this price you can almost pick up two 4850's. HOWEVER there are some games where an 9800GX2 still performs better than two 4850's in crossfire mode. benchmarks

So I was just looking at video cards at Newegg and stumbled across this card. Other 9800GX2's are all selling for well over $300 so I was really surprised to see this one priced so low with no rebates. This is a very capable card (though it'll get quite hot and uses a lot of power). If you're looking at single cards, this will beat the 4850 easily and also beats the 4870 and GTX 260 and GTX 280. It's a beastly card at a very good price (well in this case).

$284.99 + 8.25 shipping = $293.24

Deckard26354 found the following rebate on Newegg:
$30 rebate that ends 7/31 to lower the price even more. Click here for Rebate

Edit: To protect myself from possible flames. I found this on my own and was not aware that it was posted on SD until now.

Roughly $100 less than other 9800 GX2 cards on the egg. Good deal for those in the market.

Deckard26354 said:$30 rebate good through today.
Good find. I'll add it to the OP

Another deal site known as slickdeals.

I ordered a 9800gx2 earlier and returned it for a 4870.
The amount of power and heat this thing creates along with inherit dual GPU driver problems without DirectX 10.1 support didn't make sense to me for barely edging out a single 4870 GPU which can be had for cheaper also.

whAT POWER supply are u guys using? i'm looking to buy a power supply for this card.. thanx for the feed back in advance...
