Is this a decent deal?
Finally upgrading old components and ran across this on tiger direct http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=E145-0554 i would be upgrading from onboard video so i know that would be a plus, but how good or bad is this card?

I would'nt recommend anything from tiger direct, they have a very poor reputation with customers.

Although shipping to me is next day there is very little follow through on Rebates...so don't expect to cash in on them... out of the 8 i've sent in I havent gotten a single one and did get letters saying it wasnt postmarked in time when it actually was...
I only buy from them in a last ditch effort

Current system specs? What is the intended use for the upgrade? Games? |

Same price at Newegg, same rebate, $4.99 shipping. Not the best card for the price.

Don't use rebates if you want warranties. Rebates throws it out the window. I've read of such cases.

A rebate will NOT void a manufacturer's warranty. However, it will void any exchange privilege you have with the vendor due to cutting the UPC out of the packaging.
