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.

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 $$


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. 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 .

 

[SecrtAgentMan]

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

Semi-related note - the free Just Cause 2:

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).
