View Full Version : So it seems 160 dollars was a good deal for a BFG GTX 260 OC Maxcore 55?

I was at Compusa and was going to go with a 9800 GT, then looked at the 9800 GTX for like 20 more, all of a sudden I was like, "What do we have here?"

There was a misprice on a GTX 260 OC Maxcore 55, so I bought it. This is an upgrade for me from a 8400 GS, so its a big deal. The only downer was I had to go back to get a 650 Watt PCI-e Power Supply. I thought I had a larger PSU then I did, but apparently not. The Power Supply was almost 100 dollars. :(

Is it a 216 GTX260? If so then score for sure. Even if it isn't, still an awesome upgrade for sure. Dont worry about the PSU, you would have probably needed one sooner or later.

I paid 260 for mine, it was on release day of the 55nm cards, though.

That's less than it costs in GBP!
It retails at £180+ here!
Bargain.

Apparently it was supposed to be a Memorial Day deal at my store, it was 199.99 with like a 49 dollar rebate. I got it without having to do the rebate. :)

Its a pretty good deal from a CompUSA. You can find 216 core GTX 260s online or $150 shipped at some places.
