I see $270.00 after a mir.
Would have been a hell of a deal if it was $245.
I just bought a 4850 this weekend and had that GTX 260 been $245 to my door I probably would have gone with that.

Ahhh the price wars continue.


I've seen little over 400 for GTS280 and 260 Canadian for 4870's

thanks man im ordering 2 gtx 260 now 534$! not to bad. =]
how long will the code work for?

Are there any graphs showing how well two 260s do in SLI?

here bro

if the 260 GTX was slightly below the 4870 in Price, it would be a hell of a Deal.

I mean they exchange blows here and there.

Really I don't care all that much for alot of games, except: GRID, COD4, and Unreal 3.

Since I play COD4, the GX2 in Quad is still the best configuration

You have to use the code VGA724X25, for it to work.

btw it goes through July 27th according to this site.

I just ordered mine!!!

does anyone no how much power 2 gtx 260 will use. im assuming like 300w at peak for both of them.

Probably more than that. It can draw 75W from the PCI-E slot, plus 75 from each 6 pin power connector. If it was 150 watts or less, it wouldn't need a pair of 6 pin connectors for power.

mrsbytch, that's an insane deal
245 for a gtx260 is cheaper than a 4870, and thier performance is very similar

the power usage isnt to bad

under 500w to be exact 468w and thats with a really hi end cpu.

It looks like there is an old $30 rebate for all evga cards. Wonder if you could still use it, even though it isn't offically listed in the product view.

idk r u still able to use it? im assuming u could as long its within 31st.

I hate to agree with the bytch but the cheapest 4870 on Newegg is $155 and the extra $10 is more than worth the extra performance. Keep trying Nvidia.

I wish people would stop basing what's better on old reviews based on old prices. 3/4's of those reviews say that performace is a trade-off, and the only reason it was reccommened over the 260 at the time was price difference. Now that the 260's have come way down, it's personal preference.

I think you meant $255, and only 1 of those makers(ASUS) is decent, but no where near Evga.

If you are talking about the visiontek 4870, the promo code for that ended yesterday.
btw the promo code dosen't work with the free grid game and i already have grid on my 360.

A stock 4870 is 6% faster than a stock GTX 260 right? Toms review said so.

This model is overclocked, so it's probably faster if not equal in speed. Also, it's memory is 896mb instead of 512mb even if it doesn't matter much now.

Pcgamer12, you are forgetting the 512MB of the Radeon is DDR5, which means it is twice as fast as DDR3. Hence is it more like 896MB v 1024MB DDR3.

I think you are talking about GDDR5 and GDDR3.

DDR5 does not exist.

I'm talking about quantity, not how fast it is. If you use too much AA/AF and textures, you can run out of video memory on future games or some games at 2560x1600. The memories are about as fast. You obviously do not understand how games work. I know they use GDDR5 with 256-bit vs GDDR3 wit
