Alright guys, Im wanting to trade out this 260.

Why, might you ask? Well, its a hell of a lot of power that i have in my rig going to waste. I dont fold, I have completed warhead and far cry 2 using it, but the other 90% of gaming i do on this thing is low level (CS:S, TF2, etc) so i really dont need such a powerful card.

The card itself is in MINT condition, the only change I have made is to flash the card to the FTW bios (666 core, 1404 shaders & 1107 memory). This card really does fly, It'll run warhead all gamer + 2xAA with no lag whatsoever, and counterstrike? never drops below 250FPS :)laugh:).

Pictures:

Here the card is, sat next to my patriots and now dead audigy after my new Cosmos had arrived:



Heres the highest I overclocked the card and the resulting E-Penis score:



So, what do I want for the card? Im looking to do a swap for either:

I WANT A 4850 & £40! LET ME KNOW!

good luck, I've been trying to sell my 260 so I can upgrade(as opposed to you wanting to downgrade). No one seems to want one in the States for $180. And just 2 weeks ago, it seemed everyone was looking for a 260

Free bump

Well when you can buy one brand new for $199.00 what would be the point in paying $180.00 ?

I will pay $150.00 right now .

8800GT is what you traded to get the gtx 260 in the first place so to even consider a 8 series is daft
just keep the damn card youll end up only wanting to upgrade this way you can keep the gtx 260 for a while thats what i plan to do

this is the best gtx 260 overclocker in the UK period

i dunno why tatty sold it to kyle

i bought my gtx 260 from paulieg and he bought a 4850 iceQ the best 4870 you can get and he ended up 3 weeks later wanting a 4870 i think he has a 4870

a gtx 260 can smoke a 4870

even with my rubbish x2 5000BE its still a beast of a card one that should last a long time due to ever improving drivers

I agree with MilkyWay, keep the card, you'll wish you had. You wanted a GTX260 so much. And I dont really use mine to its full potential that often, but I know that as games keep coming, I can keep playing. :D
Free bump in any case.

I am starting to have second thoughts, purely because this is the fastest 260 in the UK (well, revision 1 atleast) . . .

according to tatty, he overclocked it and updated it against some form of database (its name skips my mind) and apparently no other card matched the speeds he set.
