Excuse me, I have to go kill myself now... (I paid $169 plus tax at Best Buy a few weeks ago.

)

That sucks, I'm sorry. Don't buy video cards from Best Buy!

It's very rare for them to have a price even close to as low as you could find online.

!!!! I know, right? I impulse-bought it

And here's the WORSE thing! I just checked my receipt. I have 30 days to return it, right? Well I bought it October 25th. Which means that it's 31 days over >_<

Isn't a GTS250 just a plain old 9800GTX? I'm sure you could find one cheaper than $120.

Teehee, I'm a sneaky bastard!

So I decided, hey, let me pull this out here and see if I can return it. Maybe they won't notice the 1-day difference. Well, they did. But, they gave me store credit.

Which, I just went ahead and bought a new GTS 250 -- $20 difference, it was on sale for $129.99 (which after tax is 141.20). So I got $20 store credit.

So I'm semi-happy, I just made $20. ... in Best Buy credit.

is the GTS 250 any better than my 4850?

 

[metallicamaster3]

Yes, but by very, very little. I wouldn't call it a worthy upgrade.
