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

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

3870 is $90 ar on newegg, so I'd say that was a good deal.

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.

save money and get 4850.....it will serve you longer If you can't come up with $70 then I feel sorry for you.

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

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.

i guess i can wait till my check comes in... at the end of the month -_-... hopefully by than the 4850x2 will be out, and the 4850 price will drop... and not go up like the 3870's did

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 !!!
