I guess we should feel grateful Nvidia got one of these finally down to an acceptable price. But they’re going kicking and screaming. I mean first they (Nvidia/EVGA) are “Nuts” thinking this has any business having an “advertised” price at $250! Some $90 coupon doesn't ever matter... A single fan 3Gb that MSRP’d for $200 back almost 2-1/2 years ago.
Nvidia is continuing to confute their pricing structure by these types of schemes in believing some reason post mining prices are still not gone “bust”, and they deserve to maintain such overblown pricing.
This card is just a perhaps (if being generous) $180 while then honestly a reduction of what 11% to $160, and then you have to get skin in the game and toil to get the remaining 12%...please! When RX 580 4Gb are selling *No Rebate* for $140, this one and “outlier” price is not any big deal.
I see this as Nvidia later justification when some next release iteration comes out that they can convince their selves’ that customers still purchase at such crazy advertised pricing. That there had been strong purchasing of this level performance even at above MSRP, and just rationalize customer will pay say $280 for their next product in this performance segment.

Good for Christmas gift,
