8800GTX pny black edition, and helping someone move lol, for a evga GTX 260 ??? My friend is willing to trade it to me..

I figure the gtx260 is better, well it is as far as I can tell, but it seems the 8800gtx is still worth more $$$ , maybe due to the fact they aren't being made anymore ?

Should I keep the 8800GTX and try selling it, and shoot for a gtx280 or something ? Or would you just do the trade for the newer better performing card ??? help !!

Newer better performing card. I really don't see why the price of the 8800gtx would stay high for much longer as the 260's are getting so much cheaper and new way more powerful card are coming out.

Trade for the 260

ChanceCoats123 · Apr 5, 2009

+1. again... lol.

I wasn't aware 8800GTXs are still worth over $150-180 which is the price range for even a GTX 260-192, similar to GTX 260-216 though. I say trade.

its not a 216 core, its a first run one or whatever.. It hasn't seen much use though... A lot of you are saying go for it...

hmmm I wonder if anyone else is gonna chime in and say . "no, no ! wait !!"

anyone ??

Or do we have some more yay's ? lol

Depends on how much stuff you have to move. Big couch, up 3 floors, better be giving me the card (and a big bottle of ibuprofen).
If you were going to help the person move anyway...

MARCI · Apr 5, 2009

Yeah, I assume he's your buddy, and you'd help him move anyway? If so them game on.. you've got a nice gtx260, and can use the older 8800 for physx

definitely trade

MooMasster716 · Apr 5, 2009

No NO WAIT! I have an ATI 9700 pro that's worth like 10 times as much and hasn't been produced for like 5 years trade that for your 8800GTX. Video cards =/= wine.

ChanceCoats123 · Apr 5, 2009

Haha I have an old MX440? Anyone want that?

jordon · Apr 6, 2009

ok i traded.... I'm really gonna miss that 88gtx... She was my love child..

This new 260 card run's cooler tho.. and seems to shell out a few more frames.

Really, I think I coulda sold the 8800gtx for enough to buy a gtx280...? But Ive also been delusional before.

I guess I did the right thing ? I cant use the 88gtx for physics , as the card went into his compy.. I don't know if you caught the "trade" part

MARCI · Apr 6, 2009

ehh. You traded a 130 card for a 160ish card.. not bad trade up.

Yeah, stay off the crack. :screwy:

ChanceCoats123 · Apr 6, 2009

Why would he want a worse card? I don't care how much you helped me, I would have paid you some cash instead.

MooMasster716 · Apr 6, 2009

Man that 8800GTX goes for like $350 around here vs. $75 for that GTX260. You really messed up.

MARCI · Apr 7, 2009

Huh??? 350? like 100-130.. check the classies..
