No, sell it and for for additional $80 get 4850. Big improvement lol ppl say in terms of performance you can compare it to 8800ultra :D

I got this 4850 with included aftermarket heatsink and it works like charm (41-58c)

hmmm at dagger's comment.... your right! maybe i should sell it and hold onto to the money for a lil bit... i was thinking about the 4850, but it's a little out of my reach, i kinda want an improvement for the money i have, not to be greedy >.>

Then take a step down and get 8800gt for $110. Still a big upgrade from 2900. Don't say you don't have the $5 extra. :p

But meanwhile, he'll have to go sober without gaming. How will he live?! :na:

8800gt is good enough of an upgrade, far higher than 2900, for nearly free.

any benchies that can be thrown at me? i might go for the 4850, but i don't think i game enough to justify that purchase... it would be a waste.. might go with the 8800gt, it'll be my first nvidia card... I DON'T KNOW D=

Multiple pages, look through all games, they handle differently.

The is not the soundest of logic's ive heard in the last few years, month, days.....on in the last 10 minutes i was taking a coffee with a satanic transsexual that realized Bill Gates was the Buddah of the 22nd century.

Those are two different cards for two different price points. For different needs.
You can get a 4670,3850,3870 at your price point. If you can get your hands on a 8800GT would be cool also. Good luck and happy trolling !!!
