[lukebolger]

Hey guys,

here is my system spec for yas,

Motherboard: Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H
Bios: "UNKNOWN"
GPU maker: ati
Graphics Card: SAPHIRE ATI Radeon HD 5600 Series
Memory: 8GB 1600 CORSAIR 1600Mhz
Hard Drive: Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 ATA Device (931 GB, IDE)
Optical Drive: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7260S ATA Device
Power Supply: Stealth x-Stream2 600w

Operating System: Windows 7x64 RoG
Cooling

The issue is my card, it runs bc2 fine but on BF3 beta its not too hot, i have to switch my resolution down three times to get smooth running

Does any one have a card that is more powerful that they would consider part ex on for my saphire?

Thanks

What is your budget? Its against the rules here to try and sell your card in these forums unless you have access to the members market. If i were you i would try picking up a second hand 5850 or gtx460 which you should be able to pick up for under a £100.

Hi there,

Unfortunately selling, buying and exchanging stuff is only allowed on the members market - which you only get access to after 250 posts and 90 days registered.

However, in the mean time there are some good deals here on refurbished cards. The one that stands out to me as excellent value is this GTX 460 768MB for £78 this week.

hmm thanks RealDeal, how do you gain access to the members market?

Every computer in my house was bought and built from OCUK so im not just a newb

250 posts I think will gain you access

I've been wondering about this as well recently. Good thread.

Yay i only need another 150 posts (rough guess at time of writing)

You need 250 posts.

250-63=187 more.

Accurate figure at the time of writing.

It shouldn't take long, try the general discussion threads

I see you have made quite a few posts recently along similar lines.
