why wont you say what you "upgraded" it too? lol. was it a 2900xt? GTX to 2900xt to GT to GTS possibly. that seems really pointless lol. I thought it was women with the compolsive buying problems.

How coud I have upgraded when there was nothing faster to upgrade to?

Are you clearly stupid?

Sheesh.

In defence of easyrider, not that he needs me for that really (!), why does it matter what he sold, when, or for how much?!

I know all about the legendary 'easy shuffle', and that he likes to wheel and deal in the GPU market, as I guess he enjoys it, so why not?

I'm a bit confused now too about what all the easy digs are about?!

Perhaps it is you that is clearly stupid.

Your posts are getting even more entertaining.

More money?

You are clearly out of your depth.

Spend more money? Am I missing something? A GTS costing more than a GTX? Thats new. (Old GTS)

People clearly don't get it mate.

So they attack to hide their embarassment for the lack of knowledge they have about hardware.

No i didn't mean that it cost more. I ment the fact that you are litraly spending more money, hense why i said about being a compulsive buyer. As in buying something as he loves to buy things.

I find it funny how twice you have tryed to call me stupid or "out of my deapth" yet it is you who is reading my posts wrong.

The only thing i am out of my depth and drowning in is your ego easy.

I love to buy things.

I like to buy things if they are worth while.

Yep, at least that way after upgrading you get a nice performance jump and it actually feels worth it.

Going from 8800GTX to 8800 GTS 640MB? to 8800 GT and then to 8800 GTS 512MB is just stupid.

depends if you look at this from a performance stand point or a financial one, from a financial view it makes a lot more sense

Would you buy something you didn;'t need? LIke down

would you pay to go from a GTX to a GTS to a GT because you like buying?

How so, not if you sell at the right time, 8800GTX, sell that, get an 8800GTS 640 and pocket some cash, then, if you get the timing right you can flog a GTS 640 for more than you'll be paying for an 8800GT 512mb, and going from an 8800GT to GTS 512mb wont cost much obviously it'll be a loss, or will it? But I find going from a GT 512 to a GTS 512 abit pointless, but I think he might be doing it for the resale value, proberbly loose less money going to a GTS 512mb and selling that than staying with a GT 512 and selling that.

If it saved me money then proberbly.

Damn! I would have kept that to myself.

That's the problem do you keep a gt and sell for £100 in a few months or upgrade now and get £180 for a gts in a few months
let's say the gts is £240 and you sell the gt for £180 - £7 postage that's £173 so if the gts is £240 works out around the same loss when you analyze it.
But it's all guess work and maybes i have no idea how much a 512mb gts will be worth resale just before the next gen just hazard a guess at £180.

naa, thats usually just an excuse to hide the fact they just can't help themselfs and want to try new hardware, allot of people fall for it though.
