Awwww shiz...I might use this thanks mayne

[lordkosc]

I have it in my cart, its making me buy it.... :(

Think about the GTX 460, almost the same performance as the 470 if you OC it and it has less temps (usually)

[lordkosc]

yeah i researched, GTX 465 has around 20% less performance before OCing and only 3-4 degrees cooler , I'd rather just avoid the OC hassle on this card.

[Shelnutt2]

2 things, 1) How do I make sure I get the bing cash back? I went to ping searched for the gpu, clicked the bing cash back thing, and then picked tiger direct. I entered my email address and the captcha, but I didn't see anything else to do?

2) The 4myrebate says the code is invalid/there is nothing for nvidia?

I'm very tempted to get this. I can turn an burn it and then buy a 460 and make some $$ :santa:


edit:
On #2, the proper link is http://evga.4myrebate.com/customer/default.aspx

Also the bing cash back says 10.2-12% for me.. Still a great deal though!

edit 2:
Comes out to $261.16, almost $20 in taxes! I'm not sure if I want to bite on this deal. It kind of kills any hope of making a few bucks on this :(

[lordkosc]

the rebate code is : EGA-8790

I just checked and it is working ...

As soon as you buy it, your Bing cash back should show as pending...

For some reason I am only showing 12% :( Oh well... I can afford the extra 3%.

also I couldn't get it to work on the Just Cause 2 edition... so I removed that from my OP.

STILL looking at it in my cart... O.O

[Shelnutt2]

Also just a heads up to everyone bing cash back is ending on July 30th!

[lordkosc]

Anyone know if my e8400 will bottleneck the GTX470 ?

I am gonna hold off a day, there is no super rush as the rebate is good till 7/16.

Need more research time. :) I don't think my PSU can handle this card either ?

Your PSU can handle that card.:)

[lordkosc]

that's not what i wanted to hear! ugh.... I dunno what to do , maybe I'll sleep on it...

[ciku]

how do u verify if ur getting BCB?

[CharlieCS]

This is probably not what you need to hear , but you can save additional 20 bucks if you use ebillme at checkout , they have a mail rebate promo for purchases 100$ and up.It will delay your shipment , since your bank will need time to clear the payment.


That SD thread has all the info.

[lordkosc]

I've decided to hold off... After filling out the order form twice. >.<

I am gonna wait for a Evga GTX 460 OC 1GB to come on sale , I can't justify the extra heat and power usage (100 watts more?) for a 15% increase over the GTX460.

Hope those who go in on this deal enjoy :)

[CharlieCS]

Am hovering around this myself, just can't decide.There is a reason these are so discounted,they are piling up stock.If I have sold my current GPU I would have bit , but just can't justify it right now.

[lordkosc]

That what I was thinking , its like a fire sale!

I have been forum reading and some sites even mention the GTX465 being phased out soon, and it was just released like a month ago. O.o The GTX460 (with Fermi G104) is quite a beast.

[ozzlo]

That's quite an amazing deal, I wish I could afford it :(

[stereo555]

Also to mention about Bing , remembering when you use a coupon code it MAY void your Bing CB . Its in the rules (Rule# 28 / paragraph 4 ) . http://explore.live.com/microsoft-service-agreement?mkt=en-US

So you may loose a good chunk of change .

They're shutting down the Bing cashback thing on July 30th.

[Omsion]

Semi-related note - the free Just Cause 2:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/campaigns/campaigntemplate.asp?CampaignID=1439

How the heck is this supposed to work? Two CS reps that actually were helpful had no idea wth is going on with this.

Another flat-out refused to believe that this is a real promotion. "That's not our promotion. It's someone else's - go talk to whatever site linked you to it." Right...that's why the URL has tigerdirect.com in it, and is linked to on your frontpage (abet in a really tiny banner on the right side of the page). :bang head

[SecrtAgentMan]

Well when you get a GPU that is applicable for the promotion you receive a paper card that has a code on it that you can redeem through Steam for the game.

[s002wjh]

yep i receive email says bing will shutdown end of july, so use it while you can

they did say a new program so who knows ;)

[conscript]

man I'm going to miss bing cashback....though I never did understand the model either...so can't say I'm shocked it's going away.

[Omsion]

Well when you get a GPU that is applicable for the promotion you receive a paper card that has a code on it that you can redeem through Steam for the game.Yeah, I didn't get one. Had to have more talks with CS after I got my 460. This one (or at least his manager) knew what was going on, and now I have another UPS shipment to await.

Oh, that's just Bing's cashback program being discontinued, not Bing itself.

ironically enough, after years of being a google snob, I've moved to bing in the last weeks and actually prefer it now.

[funzie]

Compusa has 15.3% BCB as opposed to 15.2% at Tigerdirect. If you care about the extra .1%.
