GFX upgrade opinions

[leoncc]

I have the opportunity to buy a BFG OCX Maxcore GTX260 for £90, is this a worthy upgrade from an 8800GTS 512?

Thanks

Should be just under twice as fast.

Yeah it's a great card. Is it 2nd hand? If so, that's the going rate, if not slightly over so I wouldn't really use the word 'opportunity'.

if its second hand offer him £75-80 and its a good deal. A brand new one can be had for just over £100, theres also the warranty issue, if they wont take 75 id get a brand new one with a warranty etc

I sold my 216 core GTX260 last week for £70. It was a Gainward Golden Sample as well.

Barter the price down a bit if you can; if it's the 192 core version you don't want to be paying more than £60 really.
