[-1nf1n1ty-]

I was thinking of selling my 2900xt 512mb how much do you think i would get? if so should I sell it then get 2 9600gt's then sli?

 

[-1nf1n1ty-]

well the cheapest HD2900xt 512mb, i can find NEW is 230$, you might pull off 180-200$ i guess

if lucky, they were going for that a couple months ago, can only have depreciated by now

The 2900 is considered a mid range card now. With the 8800GT so cheap, I saw that you could probably get $130 out of it.

 

[warup89]

Hmm i wasnt aware of that, , still 130ish still seems good, i got a x1800xt PE sitting in my desk but since i bet the price for that is so low, it's not even worth selling.

~75 tops if you can find a buyer

Hmm a 2900 for $130 would be in my price range...barely...lemme know how serious you are about selling that card!

true, i think finding a buyer would be a bit f a challenge since this is kinda old tech. but 75$ seems pretty, hmm i might consider this.

damn I want to sli again and get more frames....

suck to realize that, but hey a least you can be 130ish closer to get SLI.

yeah, Im thinking about going back to my 2 7600gt's,lol

 

[-1nf1n1ty-]

well my css games keep crashing....it freezes and just times me out....I think it has something to do with my card

 

[Xazax]

RMA the card and sell it as brand new

 

[warup89]

overheating?. check for dust build ups....god i hate dust.

 

[-1nf1n1ty-]

well i cleaned it, turned out to be dust collecting.
but now I have another question
should I just go ahead and buy another 2900XT seeing as how they're cheap now and buy a crossfire board? need to know if it will be worth the upgrade(new processor and another 2900xt)

 

[Kursah]

Get more power to feed the beasts and I'd say go for it!

 

[-1nf1n1ty-]

what brand of card works with the typical 2900XT card, cause I cant find the same brand on ebay: http://www.pcuniverse.com/product.asp?pid=4219750&m_id=32
Im not buying that, just wanted to show you guys what brand that is and what brands can work with that? and does it HAVE to be 512mb?(what I have)

I know for SLI the brand has to be the same, but I never did ati before

 

[nflesher87]

btw I didn't mean to say ~75 up above, I meant 175 lol it's def worth more than 75
and if you want I can get you an XT 512 with a zalman VF900 on it for 155 shipped

from where? I need to know cause im getting a $600 tax return and need to know whether to upgrade my pc and if its really worth it, or should I buy metal gear sold 4 and GTA4 and other ps3 games what is TRULY worth it, if I cant decide im saving until the prices go down for the pc parts. opinions?

EDIT: also i dont need to know right now but want to see what you guys would do in myy position

 

[Kursah]

Well what's really worth it to you? Is one 2900XT not cutting it for ya in gaming? How much gaming on the PC do you do?

How much gaming do you do on the PS3 in comparison?

more gaming on pc but I still love my ps3 and I like metal gear solid and the rest of the games that are to be released on the ps3, but then I wont have to upgrade my pc for a while and I'll be able to run some of the newish pc games to come out, like (insert hard game to run here)

edit: its not that its not cutting it I just never crossfired before and I wanna try it and I want to not have to upgrade for a while, my specs looks like a midrange pc I just want at least a high and possibly get more frames in the games that I love I.E. Counter strike source, F.E.A.R.,(hopefully be able to play crysis),and some of the new MMO's coming out

Ok I just need to figure out if I should buy it or not my only problem

 

[nflesher87]

$155 with a VF900 installed is a good deal, I was tempted myself
