Well, I had to sell my GPU's (2x5830, 2x6850 and my 5770 )and my main rig. it's been a though year I'm actually playing on a couple of spare XFX HD5550 DDR2 in CF, the only thing that my combo can play on high setting's are source games, bad timing as im on my last vacation after a long year of working really hard, so the timing sucks ballz

I am building my son a rig for Christmas, but lost my job at the beginning of the month. I am giving him my old 4850 512mb crossfire setup, but as he is planning on playing BF3, I hope it doesn't choke. That is why he needs a new Video Card. But we will make due until we are able to buy something new.

I have a GTX 280 and it's a great card, but I would love to switch to a newer, more powerful card so I can play Skyrim/BF3, etc at the highest settings on my new monitor @ 1080p. The card did a decent job at 1680x1050 but now it struggles.

I would love to give my girlfriend my GTX 280 so she can enjoy Skyrim/League of Legends at 1680x1050 (gave her my old monitor) and it worked fine at the resolution.

EDIT: If it helps my cause, my hot water heater decided to break about 3 weeks ago and a new one cost me over $600...which was supposed to be the money I used to upgrade my PC. Now I won't be able to upgrade my PC for at least another 8-10 months. Realistically my next upgrade will be this time next year...all because of money issues.

I need a new one because my 5850 runs like crap with the new drivers and I cannot afford ANY new card right now. Open GL support sucks and Photoshop needs it. I haz a super sad.

I don't really need a card. No game breaks today my 570 SC slightly bumped to 830 MHz core on my 1680x1050 res and I don't see it in the near future either. Although another 570 would be nice but then I need another PSU. Anyway I have another GTS450 in the other machine and a very nice 275 FTW currently retired in its box. (you never know when you need it)

I'm running X800 AGP. I need an upgrade. I have my new PCIe machine under my desk here, but no budget for a better card. So I game on my Northwood AGP, I kid you not! until I can stick a decent GPU into the new machine. I'll trade?

I have the most powerful single-GPU card in the world. Methinks I will not need to upgrade for a while.

Because I use a 9800Pro AIW that keeps crashing my system. I have all the other parts to upgrade except for a motherboard. I do have an 8800GT(256MB) and an 8800GTS(G92) that I could use, but they are loud.
