[QUOTE=Kialtia;32304626]Because stores don't want to lose money on a product, when they buy it for 80 bucks it has to be sold for 80 or above or they make no money out of it.[/QUOTE] Yea but at this point, I'd rather lose money on a product than make nothing on it while it sits on a shelf.
[QUOTE=QuikKill;32427843]Yea but at this point, I'd rather lose money on a product than make nothing on it while it sits on a shelf.[/QUOTE]Well if it sits there long enough and they need room for more merchandise, that's what they sometimes do.
[QUOTE=Archonos 2;32317979]Yeah, that's my problem. I want Skyrim for the PC, but my current computer won't handle that.[/QUOTE] An 8800 will run Skyrim, I have very little doubt about it.
What kind of card. I mean 8800>Gtx420 but not Gtx460
I'm still using 8800GTS on my gaming rig, is that strange?
Anyone want to buy my 8800GT for $300.00?
The 8800/9800 and all it's variants were brilliant cards.
I still got my heavily modded 8800GS Vmodded, flashed, new heatsink and heavily overclocked.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;32446770']I still got my heavily modded 8800GS Vmodded, flashed, new heatsink and heavily overclocked.[/QUOTE] why
Because i wanted to?
[QUOTE=matte3560;32424556]Still got my 8800GTX. It's sitting in my server and heating the room for me while I'm away. I was actually going to put a fanless 3450 in my server, but it turns out i needed the HDMI port on it.[/QUOTE] For a server, you only need like, a GF 6150 with HDMI output. They sell them fanless.
I'm still USING my 9800 GT. Don't worry I hope on getting a new build soon. [sub]along with my 1.86ghz dual-core[/sub]
[QUOTE=P320;32451941]For a server, you only need like, a GF 6150 with HDMI output. They sell them fanless.[/QUOTE] I know, but why spend money on a graphics card (no matter how cheap or crappy) when I can just use what i already have?
Not really worthy of its own thread, so I'm posting it here. I want to sell my [i]Asus ATI Radeon HD 4890 1 GB[/i] and I'm wondering what price I should ask for it. My highest bid so far is 60 euros.

My highest bid so far is 60 euros.[/QUOTE] 60 euros is pretty reasonable, considering that it's a pretty old architecture, and that it's used.
also why is the GTX 285 so damn expensive?
[QUOTE=Alcapwne;32471950]also why is the GTX 285 so damn expensive?[/QUOTE] Good question. In Denmark, a GTX 285 currently cost about the same as a GTX 295 did. Hell, the GTX 580 is cheaper.

[QUOTE=Hatsen;32472371]Good question. In Denmark, a GTX 285 currently cost about the same as a GTX 295 did. Hell, the GTX 580 is cheaper.[/QUOTE]AFAIK, your two 580's kick the shit out of quad 295's though. My 560 TI gets darn close at times.
MY cousin gave me a computer with a 9800gtx+ overclock edition (I can't overclock this baby more even if I tried without artifacting, it came stock pushed to the limits lol) this bad boy runs dead island and every other game I want on high @ 1680x1050. This card has not let me down (esp. combined with the intel quad core @ 2.4ghz)
