Newegg has the Zotac ZT-60201-10L GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card for $90 - 25% off with coupon code EMCYTZT2838 [Exp 1/27] - $20 rebate [Exp 1/31] = $47 with free shipping. Features 900MHz core clock, and two DVI and one miniHDMI outputs.
I've only done one Zotac rebate recently, a product bought during black friday and mailed in around the 20th of Dec. I did receive the Amex prepaid card a couple days ago, BUT I picked their rapid rebate option and it still took a little over 4 weeks. Glad I received it with no further effort but that's not at all rapid.
#4 Funny.. About the rapid rebates.. Sometimes I wonder.. 1st. Would I get it faster? The only thing I can guess about payed extra to get faster and secure the guarantee payments, instead of the lost or delay payment..
These are not bad video cards, The infamous 128 bit. I use to buy these left and right a few years ago and paid 15 to 20 bucks A/R.. Could'nt belive they went up 50%..
Rebate aside... The final price is exceptional for whiat you're getting. A highly efficient card based on Kepler architecture (GK107). With this the "right price" for a general upgrade, home-use, media, HTPC duty it can't be faulted, but for gaming today it so bandwidth starved it's hardly good for entry except perhaps at 1280x.
It's DDR3, but if your funds are low, it'll get the job done.
Mini HDMI port that is too close to the metal computer mounting flange. Pass...
I've done two Zotac rebates, and I had to get 'egg's CSRs involved both times. 'Egg was there for me and I eventually got both of them.
Caveat emptor.

This is a resent review that had it as appraisal counter to a GTX650Ti? Why this when the GTX650 Non-Ti which is the same GK107 except with DDR5 is the real logical analogy.
