eVGA GeForce 8800GTX 768MB for $299.99! (free shipping)

Bloody hell, that's cheap!
I just paid that for a used XFX one from eBay over here (UK)!!

ewww 50$ rebate,
Still its EVGA.
Hmm stick with my xfx 8800gt and sell it or evga 8800gtx for 299$
and step up later? gah!

I would buy this card in a minute if that price were correct. When I go to the link provided, I find the eVGA 8800 GTX as described, but for $359.95, not $299.95. The starting price point is $469.95, not $409.95. If I am wrong, please tell me and I will order the card from Newegg immediately.

Yes, I just confirmed what Trialsking just noted. You must add the promocode when the item is in your cart to notice the extra 60$ off. This is some deal!!

For the step up, you need to go through eVga.com, not another retailer like Newegg.com, but yes, you just subtract what you paid fromt he price of the card your stepping up to. But again you need to step up to card price from eVga.

Oh okay, thanks Trialsking for the quick reply. So, if I ordered that exact card from Newegg. When / If I stepped up I would have to pay the difference of the new card @ eVga's price. Correct? Sorry, just wanted to clarify.

From Hothardware:

It is little difficult to summarize the new GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB card’s performance. In games or benchmarks where fillrate and shader performance are the limiting factors, these new cards are excellent performers and can outpace even a GeForce 8800 GTX. But in situations where memory bandwidth and frame buffer size are more important, like say at high resolutions with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB can’t quite keep up with the more expensive GTX due to its narrower memory bus and smaller frame buffer. Generally speaking though, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB’s performance is better than the original 640MB GTS and the relatively new 8800 GT and on-par with the GeForce 8800 GTX at lower resolutions. Crank up the resolutions, however, and the GTX (or Ultra) is still the king of the hill.

You guys were right, the promo code knocks it down to $349.95 with the MIR of $50.00 it is $299.95! Obviously Newegg is getting ready for the "next big thing", but I think I can enjoy this for at least the 90 days step-up period if not longer. My new Samsung 22" monitor will really appreciate it as well. I order as soon as I get home from work. Thanks everyone!!

You are an idiot! If you buy today, you have 30 days to receive the item (usually 2 - 5 days shippign) and then about 25 days to get off your but and get it in the mail.

oops i blame leap years and a long day at work. My eyes are screwy.

I love Canada, but it's at times like these that I wish Newegg shipped to Canada... Ah well. I may have to go for:

XFX, same thing for $349.99 . If anyone else lives up in the great north, this seems to be the best deal going, but it ends today. I may just wait until the 9800GTX / 9800GT comes out and knocks the prices way down. But of course, then I will want the new cards lol...

And it did work earlier today, I had it at $349.95 plus the $50.00 MIR. bummer.... Couldn't pull the trigger on my work computer.

I find this rebate idea quite odd really, there is no such thing (that I have heard of) in the UK, but I see it all the time on the forums!
I know what they are, just seems odd to do it on PC components I guess!

thats what i am waiting for also..AoC! I have already decided on my class (Bear Shaman). lol...and seen ever trailer/interview on the net. Its going to kill Warhammer Online!

I don't even see the mail in rebate.
what the hell?

As for the newegg promo codes, they require you to login before you enter them, and are only available to you if you subscribe to their newsletter.
I've had all kinds of problems using them even still; they seem to "accidentally deactivate them" frequently, but if you send them an email, they will honor it.

well this didnt work out as expected for me i whent after i had bought it and secsesflly used the promo code i went back to print out the MIR and the MIR had said i had to of bought it between 3-1-08 to 3-31-08 either they changed it after i bought it cuz i waited so long to print it out or i didnt read it right T.T but if i did wait to long and they did chang the MIR offer if ne one still has a copy of the original one i need plz for the love of god help me out and give me a copy of the one that i need cuz i didnt buy it on the day of 2/29/08
thanks-
