Are you going to get one for that fresh rig you built? I was actually thinking of mentioning it in your thread....

I have my 550 Ti overclocked to 1025 MHz core and it's good for ~10k PPD.

Thinking about it. Need to read the rebate to see if I can get two for my next Folder.

The MSI GTS450 is one per rebate, so that turned me off from that card...

Thanks for the info, Zip! 10k ppd is pretty solid

There is a line in the rules section that says you can purchase two cards if they physically attached SLIcapable cards.

Do they sell SLI cards like that? Two cards with an SLI bridge attaching them?

I have been out of the high end GPU market for a LONG time.

If you check the details page in the item description it says "SLI Ready" so it should be good for this one

My wife gets all the rebates we are owed - but she follows the directions, no matter how trivial, to the letter.

Failing that, she calls them like they took out a payday loan from us

But I would be pretty careful on that wording, that sounds intentionally convoluted...

That Zotac + this EVGA:

~24k ppd?

They have an undisclosed policy, at least they did, that you have to call them to get the rebate since they will never send it by themselves even if it was approved. They stated on the phone there was a 1 rebate from zotac per your lifetime not per item!! I know they have gotten a lot of flak from this so maybe they are better now. Just thought I would let those know what they are getting themselves into.
