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.

presumably a refurbed 6800gt.. i think

 

retail ultras and gts now retail for around 7900gtx prices i believe

 

anyways,

 

ultra>x850.

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.

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... 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. :rolleyes:

 

hehe my dad made me throw out his old old pc (early 1980s). i wanted to keep it-- ---khz processor, 4kb ram, etc etc-- it could only display 4 colors XD

 

oldest working machine is like a thinkpad with a pII proc..

 

BURN THEM ALL!!
