OK so this is the best...some form of the eVGA 8800 GTS G92 512 card.

Now, according to Newegg's prices, what would you guys recommend?

512-P3-N845-AR - $300 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130337
512-P3-N841-AR (OCed version) - $270 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130325
512-P3-N841-AR - $260 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 814130325R

Planning on purchasing 2 identical cards to go into an eVGA 780i motherboard which will be powering a 30" Dell. Money is an object...basically I don't want to waste it.

Plan is to do some video card OCing at a driver level with RivaTuner, but not making the cards unstable in any way.

Thanks for any and all input! :)

I would go with the second one considering the massive price premium they want for the first. The first one is only offering 8 more mhz on the core and 4 mhz on the memory and yet they want $30 more and even more if you take into account the additional $30 MIR. The 3rd one is an open box and I would just avoid them IMO.

 

edit: didn't see that the second was already discounted to 269.99. Either way, my advice still stands as is.

They probably won't mail both rebates to one address.

I like evga, but would also consider an MSI card. Cheaper and comes with the Witcher. Or buy one of each, getting you both rebates.
