I'm tempted to buy two, I've never seen such a low price on a GT.

Definitely HOT....eVGA makes great graphic cards

 

[paulxcook]

Added Newegg: their price is ~$2 better, with shipping included.

don't forget that Newegg charges tax for the people of New Jersey and California.

Thanks OP.

...that's the only reason why I have not ordered yet...got a used 7800gt card for the same price.

Just doesn't seem to make sense to me that why just eVGA is doing the price drop...Why not other brands eg. BFG, XFX, etc...Considered eVGA is one of the top video card mfg today. Or the others may have to follow suite very soon or they may end up with huge surplus inventories. Someone please, enlighten me on this...

get it at monarch http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant...=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=190290
still cheaper then newegg and zipzoomfly and no tax

The one at Monarch is the "CO" version. I don't think I understand what that means.

 

[annihilator3001]

they all have the same part number N516, the CO refers to the copper heatsink

Updated with Monarch link

I have an xfx 7800gt. Can you mix/match it with an evga in sli config?

I'm pretty certain you cannot, SLI's must be the same card by the same manufacturer

Correct, the cards must match.

this is incorrect. with the latest drivers, you can mis-match.

Really? Has this always been the case since SLI's inception? I could have sworn that when SLI came out the cards had to be from the same manufacturer, same revision, same everything.

What you stated used to be true but no more. Now just match the cards, any brand will work.
