FOR SALE: 6800gt 256mb

[tomsega]

I'm selling my 6800gt.

As you probably know, it's a brilliant card, and about as fast as the AGPx8 format gets. I couldn't imagen this going much higher than £150 - and it still does better in most scenarios than the new 6800gs. So, go here to have a bid if you like-

Send me a message if you'd like more info.

Note:

The current high bid is only thirty pounds!

I forgot to put a reseve price on this item, so somebody could be in for a very good deal indeed...

 

[Reefsmoka]

I doubt it will go for less than £100, someone will put a bid in on the last 30 seconds for max bid of £120 hoping for the best.

Hope so!

Its just I've precisely calculated I need about 120 quid from this in order to afford the new PC I'm aiming to order this week!

That always happens, low bids until the very end! In the last 3 hours expect some action, and then even more in the last 15 seconds!

Cool, ok.

Yeah, you will definately see a massive improvement over your 5200. It should form a nice rig when coupled with your 3800+, too - Should set you up nicely for the new generation of SM3/Dual core happy games like Elderscrolls oblivion and Unreal 2007.

Hmm Never seen this card in AGP only PCI-E although I have been known to be wrong before I do have the card in PCI-E and it runs amazing nothing I thrown at it has struggled upto date. However I paid 250 for mine when i bought it

Your (click here for more info) tab on your auction doesn't work....

Ouch your feedback score will mean your card wont go for as much as it could...

I paid 180 for this only three months ago, but my Athlon XP was bottlenecking it, so I'm selling everything and working from the bottom up. Granted im doing this a bit prematurely, because this GPU is still overkill, but I didn't want to have to buy an AGP socket 939 motherboard.

Therefore I'm stuck on this crappy laptop with 64mb if RAM for another month!! Aaargh!!

 

[crazylegs]

AHHH it does now..

I know, I retracted my first ever sell about 2 years ago - because I didn't really know what I was doing. So that gives me 6 positives and 1 negative!! Somebody else will be giving me a positive today tho I think. ..

 

[ChristopherP]

You should have made a new account when you got that negative

 

[Rush]

Chris , you could still view the negative even with a new account m8 !

 

[V_R]

£150, not bad going.

 

[tomsega]

Indeed! That's half the money towards the x1800xt 512mb I'm saving up for.

Not that it's twice as powerful, tho...

 

[PotGuy]

or one of the x1900 series about to come out that will flatten the x1800 series

 

[tomsega]

Really? I've never heard anything of the x1900.

In any case, I'm getting the x1800xt 512mb because it outperforms the 7800gtx 256mb, which is the most similarly priced nVidia rival. It's the best bang for buck in my opinion. If price weren't an issue, I'd probably get a 7800gtx 512mb and an SLI motherboard, but paying over 400 quid on a graphics card isn't justifiable!

I find it strange that the GeForce 7 series is getting all the best press. In the last generation, the ATI cards were faster, but the nVidia cards were better because they supported SM3. NOW however, the nVidia cards are faster, but the Radeon cards can support simultaneous HDR and antialiasing (as well as sm3). For that reason I'm switching to ATI because they're pushing things forward a bit.


I felt like ranting about that.
