After looking at the great reviews it gets and the price point, I was keeping an eye on this video card to replace my current nvidia GT240. Newegg and Amazon have it for $49.99AR and $45.40AR respectively, so when I saw that microcenter is running it on sale for $29.99 AR, i couldn't pass it up. If you have a microcenter nearby, you can buy online and pick up in-store... or you can pay for shipping (looks to start at $5.99). You will likely be charged tax also, so factor that in when comparing to others.
http://www.microcenter.com/produc...Video_Card Yes, I know it isn't the GDDR5 version of the 6670, but I really don't game on my PC. To me it isn't worth paying over double the price to get the GDDR5 over this DDR3 version. links for more reviews and price comparison: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6814125403 http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GV...B005MED9X4 All 3 sellers offer a $20 rebate handled by 4myrebate, so the chance of getting or not getting your rebate should be the same as long as you submit it correctly. This card was FP back in May for $47AR (+ free Dirt3 game): http://slickdeals.net/f/4370852-G...-25-Rebate also, if anybody cares, apparently you "Get WinZip® Pro 16 FREE with purchase of this AMD Radeon™ HD GPU"

so is it worth it to me to pay the extra $0.20 to save over an hour of time driving and the wear on my car? absolutely. however, YMMV
Unfortunately the fan design is a bit noisy for home-theater PC purists, the full-casrd height limits installation options, and the lack of DisplayPort takes limits some of the functionality available from AMD graphics cards.
Good luck!

edit - just reported lower price to Amazon - if enough of us do it, maybe they'll price match!
It plays 2009 games at 720p at medium or high detail. Namely Left 4 dead 2, Team fortress 2, etc. The DDR3 on this card makes it about 40% slower than the DDR5 version, depending on game.
This card is however, as Harley said, the ideal HTPC card. Can deinterlace 1080i using vector adaptive while denoise, contrast enahance, mosquito, etc. I own this card, I paid $40 AMIR I want to say in March or april at newegg. Great, extremely quiet, huge HSF card. Not for gaming unless you play th eones above at less than 1080p. But great for HTPC use!
29.99 + 5.99 s/h + 4.48 tax = $40.46

I have this card and it plays crysis 2 and metro 2033 in medium detail. most other games i can get high detail out of including max payne 3 in 720 p if I turn off anti aliasing.
if you don't believe me heres a youtube video some someone playing max payne 3 with this card in 768p in very high.
