He says it's about 3 months old. He seems like a good guy and he is offering to sell it to me for $100.

This is the card here.

What do you think? Is it worth it? Is XFX a good brand?

$100????? Go for it and happy gaming!!

Oh, and yes, XFX is a good brand.

It should run the new stuff fairly well right?

Like Oblivion?

You haven't said what size screen you're using but if you're got anything up to 1680 x 1050 you'll be flying (apart from Crysis which kills all cards)

1440x900

I was just worried about the 320mb...I was looking for more but it seems like a good deal.

You'll be fine......that amount of memory will only struggle at high resolutions at the moment. In a years time it may be different but if necessary you can always upgrade.

No, IMO it is not worth it, or not a great deal. 640MB sure, but 320MB no. You can buy a brand new one for $115, or a 9600GT for $110 or 8800GS for $100-110.

$115 AR: with step up option

Well that's me slapped down! Thanks for the heads up Pauldh.

I only said that it's a good deal because I'm comparing that price to it's UK equivalent.
The few places I can find that still sell old G80 GTS's are selling them upwards of £160 ($320)

We can get the 8800GS (the nearest modern equivalent) for about £85 ($170). 9600GT's cost about £115.

Really, you guys in the US don't know how lucky you are to be able to get top GFx cards so cheap.

XFX is a good brand, though there are a lot of "good" models of XFX cards, and then crap models... like ones with low quality fans especially, that constantly spin at 100% even if you are surfing the web. The variable speed models are generally more expensive, but it's worth it.

Regardless I would definately grab it.

I think I'll take it from him.

For $100 and not having to deal with rebates and what not.

Only bad thing is the warranty...guess I don't get one.

XFX has the option of passing on warranty to a 2nd buyer...........but only if the original purchaser has registered his card on the XFX website. If he hasn't then no, you don't.

If he has not then can't I act as the org owner.

Or I guess he could if it's not too late then change it over.

This is a big jump for a 7600gt right?

This is a good video card right? I know the 8800gt is better as well as the 9600gt but it's a decent card?

Yeah, it's a big jump over the 7600GT and is a decent card

Don't worry... the falling dollar will take care of that.

Lets hope it doesnt get much worse.
