coldpack Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I'm looking to upgrade my AGP video card. My current options (off ebay) are nVidia 6800 Ultra or x850 pro (will be modded to XT PE). Both run for around 160~ on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraboytt Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I'd go with the Ultra unless your sure that the x850 can reach XT speeds of 520/540. Just Safer this way. Btw I recently upgraded from a 9800pro-> modded 9800xt -> x850xt. Great improvement in my gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandoo Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 So if my 6800gt takes a dump and I send it to EVGA, what are they gonna give me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 presumably a refurbed 6800gt.. i think retail ultras and gts now retail for around 7900gtx prices i believe anyways, ultra>x850. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will give you a 6800gs or 7800gt because they don't bother/deal with refurbising products. Don't quote me on this it's all speculation.

red930 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Discontinued items WILL NOT be a problem b/c i'm planning on purchasing my upgrade through ebay =) i know im stating it as a fact... and evga has a lifetime warranty... XD yeah it makes sense to give u a higher card cause 10 years down they wont make 6800s due tot he fact that 1)no one wants them 2)no one needs them 10 years later we should burn our current pcs...

supraboytt Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 10 years later we should burn our current pcs... XD I still kept my p3 500, 128 ram, ATI rage fury. The thing cost me $4000, might as well use it as a footstool if nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
