XFX GTX260 XXX Edition, price?

[metamorphpwner]

hi
anyone know what a good price for this card is? and if it is worth the cost of it, i've noticed OC don't have it so can't check reviews on there.

XFX GTX260 XXX Edition 896MB DDR3, a friend has a new sealed one, but i don't know there new price so can't really make an offer without possibly ripping myself off.

Ask him how much he paid and kock 15 - 20%.

He must have some idea how much he wants for it.

He's done well to buy one but since a Black edition can be bought for £225 (666 core speed as opposed to 640 on the XXX version) and the standard clocked XFX for £190 I am guessing that the new purchase price of the XXX would be between £190 and £225, probably £210-£215.

As Jigger stated, it is still technically 2nd hand even if sealed so maybe 10%-15% off this price so £180 to £190 is where I would pitch to honest.

It is a good card and comes pre overclocked however the new 216 stream processors are better and unless you get it for that price, I'd buy this:

and overclock it to 640Mhz

you can pick up a new XFX GTX260 XXX edition for 185 quid from a well known competitor
