Holy smokes its a good deal.

Coupon code which you add in cart is VGA724X25

NewEgg.com has the EVGA 896-P3-1262-AR GeForce GTX 260 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card for $280 - $25 with coupon code VGA724X25 - $30 rebate [Exp 7/31] = $225 with free shipping.

OMG do it now if you want one. xD or you could get a 4870 for $250 after MIR for the same deal dunno.

EVGA and XFX are leaving the nVidia camp, so probably they feature some sort of clearance sale...

whats it like for gaming?

HD 4870 beats it in about half the games and is on Newegg for $254.99 after rebate or $274.99 without a MIR.

So get an HD 4870. It's much cheaper than your GTX260 and it's on average the same performance with the occasional victory over the GTX280 too. (source: techreport.com)

What?! Since when?

Im not from the U.S does that coupon work?

The source is... only somewhat reliable, but the sentiment is accurate: Nvidia's partners are on the edge of failure and are likely to, if not defect outright, then at least begin to diversify into AMD boards, or more importantly Intel.

Intel, you say? Yes, they are working on a high-end discrete GPU codenamed Larrabee to be released in 2009 that is intended to compete with AMD and Nvidia, and they need board partners so are willing to give big margins to them to entice them.

Newegg doesn't ship outside the US.

Look around your shops and buy whatever is cheaper: HD 4870 or GTX 260.

 Lol I know that! xD

My question was for everyone else...

If you are a big dev you can get one in Q4 2008 :)

Still the larrabee proyect is just another Intel project, like the Itanium...
