Newegg.com - Galaxy 50SGH8HX3QMZ GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) GC Version 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162062)

$50 off w/ promo code GAL915, ends 9/21$109.99 after mail-in rebate card


you have no fucking excuse to buy this, you probably wont be maxing BF3 but you could probably max BC2 with it, if not there are alternatives:


Newegg.com - Galaxy 60XMH6HS3HMW GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) GC 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162058)
$99 after rebate (gtx 460)

Newegg.com - Galaxy 56NGH6HS4IXZ GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162074)
$189 after rebate + Batman Arkham City preorder (gtx 560ti)


but really, the GTS 450 is basically a 5770 or a lighter version of the 460, i don't think i need to tell you that $60 is a fucking amazing deal, if you are still using a geforce 7, 8, 9 series, this is the perfect time to buy.

rebate ends 9/18, promo ends 9/21. gts 450 will probably run out of stock by tonight though

I'll stick with my GTX 260 SC, it still runs every game on max settings just fine. That card is more than $60, you have the title wrong, it's only $109.99 after the rebate, not $60.99.

You must have an amazing cooling system. Also those MIRs are known to not be accepted quite a bit, and GTS is shitty budget cards - anyone who upgrades to it (unless they have a card more than 3 years old) is an idort who is just getting it because "it's 400 seriez!11"

Not an excuse! You can buy a GTX 580M and stop being such a lazy noob

nearly double the 8800gt and probably half the temps

"amazing" cooling system = antec 300 illusion w/ 155cfm sidefan. <$60.
it's $60. even if you have a 9800gtx+ it's a step up and buying 2 of these and SLI'ing in the long run is a pretty modest idea, a GTX 460 1GB is around $100 (after rebates). not to mention more flexibility upgrade wise when you buy a SLI mobo and 2 cards

His laptop might not have support for that card. Ever think of that? I know both laptops I own can only be upgraded to a certain point.
