8800GT 512mb in my computer is still doing me fine, there's nothing wrong with it, I haven't came across a single game I lag in yet.

Unless you have the money, and don't feel like spending it on anything else, I recommend just waiting until the card is unusable.

Same here, I kinda downgraded from a 9400GT to a 8800GT.
It might sound strange but the 8800GT is far better than the 9400GT.
I was dumb to go with numbers mean better performance but hey, we all do something stupid in our life time.

That's because a 8800GT is equal to a 9800GT.

didn't you maybe wonder why the 9400 was 1/4 of the price

You're dumb. . .
To the OP...put the extra one in SLI??

no, he's not, because a 9800gt [I]is[/I] an 8800gt with some minor changes that don't affect performance

Tell me, have you owned an 8800gt or an 9800gt?
am currently on an 8800gt
would have gone with the 9800 but I researched and found it was exactly the same
[editline]07:24PM[/editline]
just look at the fucking specs of them
I love my GTX 260 sli OC :D

Hence the "we all do something stupid in our life time".
But at the time when I was looking to replace my REALLY OLD FX5200 the 9400 sounded good.
Then I moved to the 8800 because it was starting to die.
And if I remember, the 9800 and 8800 are different, they use a different gpu architecture.

What he did is like comparing the GTX 260 and the GTS 250, but than saying the GTS 250 is better.

hmm lets see
both have the same:
core clock
shader clock
memory clock
memory bandwidth
texture fill rate
I can see so many differences here, the 9800 is obviously going to perform better!

no, it's like saying the 9800GTX+ and the GTS 250 are the same with minor non-performance-related differences... because they are
you are really really dumb
[editline]07:40PM[/editline]
hell they're so similar you can SLi an 8800 and 9800 by changing the bios of one card, IIRC one FP member has this setup
I'm still using my 8600GT 512mb from 2 years ago. It's still running strong, playing most of my games at the highest settings, accept for the absolute newest ones.

Not really, it's a no-brainer. The 8800 is better than the 9800.

you must have a pretty low res monitor
you =/= everyone
your needs =/= everyone's needs
I am sure it could sell for $60(CAD). Mine was $200 at the time :3 (Also one of the best cards out)
I have a 8800GT, and it can run Crysis at high settings (1680x1050) smoothly. I am waiting for the 5870 to drop down in price, you should probably do the same.

actually i just got a 25.5 inch 1080p. but yea, i had to turn down the graphics now that i have this. And i do plan on buying a GTX260, i was just stating that the 8600 - 8800 were still good cards.

Get a 5770 instead cheaper and same performance. Also eyefinity and dx 11.

I want you to prove that the 9800GT is not the same as the 8800GT.
Please, amuse me.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;19378878]DON'T use signatures on this forum (-Jake). Just a little word of advice for a new '10er.
Anyway, I'd just SLI the two cards and save up for a while before upgrading. You have two perfectly decent cards there; you can still squeeze maybe another year out of it before upgrading. Save the money you would have spent on another card over that time and use it to build a top of the line PC with the new hardware of the future.[/QUOTE]
Well I'm sorry, but I'm used to it in my other forums. And just because I joined in 2010 doesn't mean I'm retarded. I'm on many forums, one with 15,000 posts.

This, I have similar GPU and never had any problems with games except GTAIV and Crysis obviously.
Give it to me. In fact I'd pay about $20USD for it.
Then I can get worthless 3-way SLI with my 8800GT and 9800GTSC, finally.

Doesn't the 9800 GT run a little cooler then the 8800 GT?
Don't know much about either of them.

I think it would vary depending on what brand you get. Different brands have better coolers.
I got a Inno3d 8800GT 512mb 2 years ago with my PC and i still manage to play most games on highest graphics setting. It has performed sweet and haven't let me down at all. It's really fine.

Some people don't really care about the performance of a card. They are "upgrading" from a 8800 GT to a 9800 GT so they can just say they got it.
