Is it worth it?

[bennyboy2606]

I just noticed a GEFORCE GF 6800GT - NVIDIA 256MB DDR3 PIC-EXPRESS - SL
for sale for £29.99, its used and i think i can get it down to £24.99 Am i missing something as when i googled this card, it came up at at least £100

Regards
Ben

i dont think so - i think you can get an X1800 or so for about £35 in the MM. if you can drop the price to £20, it'd be a pretty decent deal, i think

That card would not fetch £100... I dunno what sort of fool quoted you that price as that card is ancient, I had one and it runs just about nothing these days, save the money and spend it elsewhere.

I remember when that card was amaaaazing (the 6800gt), but would run nothing now
£100 no way

i still remember the 6800 ultra more. i actually got one on agp . classic !

broke now though ... me thinks to much overclocking but i still like the macho cooler

my old 6800 gt 128 agp ran call of duty medium res, crysis on low/med 1024 etc. There are much better cards around but for £15ish pounds you can still play some games if your not too picky as well as stuff like bf2 and hl2 etc.

Thats quite a beefy card for its age...

no lifetime warranty on that 6800 card? if so then claim it and see what they send you back.?

i would not say that card would be running nothing now - my brother has a 6600gt in his second PC and it runs trackmania nations well, Prey, FEAR... I guess it would be OK with CS:S, half life, quake, doom, adventure games, etc

It depends of what your idea of OK is, i guess.

I miss that genoration of cards! (i had a 6600gt, the msi one witha really really cool orb cooler on it!)

Alsways fancied the 6800, though now you could probably get a 7800gt for about £30ish (that is my current and most loved card)

Bought a 6800 xt 256 for £130 on the day black and white 2 came out...
