Galaxy GTS250 for $70.00 after MIR w/Free Shipping

Great deal on a Galaxy GTS250 for $69.00 after $40.00 MIR and free shipping. Whether you like Galaxy or not, this deal is smokin'. Newegg has taken the link for the rebate off of the item. The rebate is good for purchases thru June 30th and confirmed by me to work. I have ordered 2 cards and the online rebate process went flawlessly. Below is the link for the rebate:

Newegg has pulled the link for the rebate, but Galaxy is still honoring it. I have a link to the PDF in the Original Post.

That is nice looking card. I had same looking 9800GT average overclocker. But for the price great value. 4850 performance for almost half the price. Two of those will be great.

Strange, Galaxy either makes video cards way too expensive or way too cheap (good thing that gts ). Awesome deal slightly spoiled by mail in rebate.

This is the perfect GPU if you want to populate all of the PCI-E slots on your K9A2 because of the PCB's length. Contrary to what Shadowfold said, 4X GTS250 = SEX

Think, two of these in SLI will run you $140 cheaper then Any GTX260's PLUS in SLI they can beat or match a GTX280 which costs nearly double that!

This is the same card (different vendor) but with a better cooling fan.

It's odd to have a DVI + HDMI combo and no VGA. Could you run dual monitors if you had one hooked up via HDMI and the other DVI?

I just returned from mailing my rebate info although I had done the online portion last week. Unfortunately I had to RMA my MSI K9A2 Platinum and it's now on its way to California.

Check takes 8-10 weeks and visa takes 1 week. It was an easy decision.
