9800 GX2 1GB for 149 is it worth it?

[Shakeel]

Is it? and what card does this compare to now?

thanks

The 9800GX2 was a fast card in the day, but these days it works out about as fast as a GTX 280. So no, it's not worth £149. Don't pay more than £100 for it. If you have £150 to go on a new card, go for a 5770 or save some more for a 5850.
