DON'T EVER INCLUDE MAIL-IN-REBATES WHEN SAYING A PRODUCT HAS A DISCOUNT.

 

MAIL-IN-REBATES ARE SHIT WAYS FOR A COMPANY TO SAY ITS A PRODUCT IS CHEAPER, WHEN IT REALLY ISN'T.

MIR's have always worked for me.

[ApexVasii]

They're complicated IMO, so I disregard them.

Literally you cut the upc off the box, photo copy the receipt and mail it in. It's that easy.

Never had an issue with an MIR.

The deal isn't too great honestly, I've seen the 290 for much cheaper. Between this and the 380 4GB though, for an extra $20 this is better.

I Agree it should be labeled at $30.00 off +$30 MIR.  I Always personally base the price/savings  by what is charged to my bank at the time of the purchase but i personally just hate Mail in rebates there should be like a choice save $15 now or get a $30 MIR or something instead with all MIR 

[anthonyc813]

I always forget MIRs even after I send them in and never get my stupid VISA gift card. Oh well. 

 

Be nice to him, don't type in all caps meanie!

Where did y'all find an 290 for that cheap? I've been keeping eyes open, but I've never seen it that low...

After the GTX 970 released and before the 300 series released, AMD's card lost a lot of consumer interest so they discounted them pretty heavily.

They wouldn't sell a brick. eBay has rules against that. If it doesn't work and the seller lists that it does, they're in some serious trouble.

I have bought many from ebay and almost every single one of them have been run hot for way to long overclocked when they sat they haven't been and have not lasted long at all a few actually arrived with many many artifacts on my screen etc so the card technically didn't work. I would never trust a card off ebay personally. 

 

They only way I would get a card off ebay is if the seller give the original receipt and it is still under warranty at least that way you can at least RMA the card still.

Ive seen 290xs for less.

Well mine was okay, quite the card actually. If you talk to the seller and he/she is very quick to respond and is knowledgeable, usually the card will be okay.
