I was looking to purchase a 55nm Geforce GTX 260 SSC Edition and as soon as I got the money for it the websites I usually purchase my PC hardware no longer carry it. Preferably I wanted to purchase the game with some added in goodies such as a game or the evga precision tool but if not I just wanted to purchase the card from a reliable source. I googled the card for sale and the search only came up with three results. They were: Mwave.com, Ebay.com, Eworldsale.com. Have any of you purchase from these sites before? If you did conduct business with these sites how was the experience? Should I purchase from these sites of just wait for newegg or the evga.com to provide the product?

Your 9800 GTX+ isn't doing it for you?

If you upgrade anything, upgrade that processor. That's the weak spot in your setup right now, not your graphics card.

I don't know about those sites, but you don't need to have an EVGA card to use EVGA precision, I'm using it with my XFX and mine came with a game too lol. And doesn't make sense to upgrade your current video card to that.

The card had alot of driver issues. I could play most games at almost high levels. I wanted a card with more power that didn't have the driver issues as this one. I thought it was just me until I looked at newegg reviews of the card and a lot of people were having the same issues.

I wanted to upgrade because of the driver issues with the card that I had and also I couldn't play crysis at decent graphical settings and FPS
