Sell it on ebay and use the cash to bring the cost of the Radeon 8500 down DUH.

Put it in an envelope, preferably the type with little bubbles on the inside, and mail it to this nerd in Pittsburgh. ;)

You could also sell it in the classifieds on the front page.

Man send it to me, the gts is still an awesome card.

even with all the new cards out there, the human eye can't see the difference. A friend of mine just got the GF3 and his games don't look any better than mine with my Herc profit 2 GTS.
I'm gonna wait for something like a GF4 with 128MB of ram or something like that. When I upgrade I like to see a drastic change.
My last system was a celi 400 o/c to 550 and using an ati rage fury pro....

GF4 w/ 128Mb LOL, I Wish.

Cant see that until after xmas but anyway. Bitches at nVidia are gonna juice all they can out of the Titanium until Radeon come up with something faster.

i agree, the guys over at Nvidia could never come up with such great technologies as TrueForm! Nvidia sell's mainly to the core and memory speed freeks, where as, ATi actualy has some new technologies that will help better it's self for doom 4. estimates say that R8500 will be way faster than any G3 in doom4

Doom 4 !!!! Where have I been?!?!

:) :D

Nvidia is gonna need to juice up that Ti a little more, and lower its inflated prices cause Radeon has it beat in all areas already.

*side note* Quake is coming into Quake4, Doom is coming into Doom 3 */side note*

It was an honest mistake Default (that damn song by Default is playing right now, I hate it :))

You can do what I did to my original Geforce 256. Tear off the stock heatsink if not already removed. Mount a 72 watt peltier and large heatsink on the card and overclock it as far as it will go and sit back and enjoy high framerates while playing quake 3. then some time later when your messing around in your computer "accidently" forget to plug in the fan for the vidcard. Go start up a good game of Q3 and play it until you smell someting burning. Finally tear apart your computer only to find one melted pelter fused to a GPU on card you haven't paid off yet. hehe:cool:
