How much for a 8800GTS

ZenZimZaliben · Nov 23, 2009, 09:48 PM

I have a friend who is currently running a 7600GT and he wants to upgrade, but doesn't want to spend over $75. I currently have a MSI 8800GTS G92 512mb in my HTPC I would love to get ride of. The card has been a great card and still runs and oc's very well. I had to lower my clocks back to near stock to get it it my htpc case without getting to hot. It even has the dual-orb heatpipe cooler and ramsinks/vregs copper heatsinks.

SO how much is this card worth? I looked online, and of course it's listed for like $200,

but that is because they don't make it anymore and I assume people that are looking to SLI their old card this is their only path. (For those not in know, and didn't realize a new $200 card would be 3x as fast as an old sli setup.)

So...?

sell it to him for like $70 i see them going for around 50-80 used on forums

My EVGA one I bought from Newegg cost me $115 brand new so $70 is about right.

LoL, How can you deny a deal that involves food???? $70-80 seems to be a fair price for what was and still is "a hell of a card"(I own 5 of them right now

).

Yeah so I'm going to sell it to him for $100 and that includes my Borderlands disc and I will help him install it the card. I'm excited that's $100 off my next video card which will either be a watercooled 5970 or if Nvidia can get the GT300 out I may wait for that. Once my main rig gets a new card, my HTPC gets the GTX280. For a temp solution its back to the x1950xt...haha.

I suppose I should be looking for a good aircooler for the gtx280. Stock cant go back on due to swiftech epoxy on the ramsinks/vregs.

go for an AC Accelero GTX 280 Xtreme cooler, amazing HSF.

Live OR Die · Nov 24, 2009, 03:34 PM

go for a GTX285 there almost the same price as a GTX280 i pick up my 2nd GTX280 for $200 i only got it for sli, or i would of got a 285

ZenZimZaliben · Nov 24, 2009, 08:48 PM

I currently own a GTX280....notice my sig.

I'm getting ready to do the handmedowns. Buy new card (5970 or GT300), slap watercooler on it, take old card (gtx280) out slap aircooler on it, install old card in HTPC, sell video card in HTPC (8800GTS).
