With possible price reductions coming.......

Since they trade blows in most games I'm surprised the 9600GT is as high as it is.

Comments please........oh, and no idea what the situation is like in the U.S. Haven't looked at newegg yet. Sure one of you guys will do it for me.

can i ask what is ment by rebates? thanks

Sure. AR (after rebate) means total price we pay after receiving a rebate check back in the mail. We pay the higher price and then have to mail in a form, copy of receipt, and the UPC symbol from the box to get the rebate back. It takes anywhere from 6-10 weeks, and occationally you need to follow up with a phone call to get it. So you have to make photo copies of everything just in case. All this hassle means that many people never go forth and submit the rebate, and that is why they(the manufacterer or store) do it. Many people don't mind mail in rebates like this. Others know they won't mail them in anyway so they ignore the rebate part of the price. Hope that helps.

edit: Here is an example. Our cost is $219.99 + the shipping, plus any tax if you live in the few unlucky states they charge tax in. Then after submitting the rebate form and requirered proofs of purchase, you later get a $20 check in th mail. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127329

This one is $20 cheaper without a rebate hassle.

This definitely looks like a good card, I'd trade my 3850 512mb up for it if I didn't get overscan issues with Nvidia cards.

Seriously. Between $150 and 200 we have (in no order) the HD 2900 pro, HD3850 256MB, HD3850 512MB, HD3870, 8800GT 256MB, 8800GT 512MB, 9600GT, and 8800GTS 320MB.
