4850 is gone and replaced with a GTX 260 Core 216 :)

[one-shot]

I had a chance to sell my ATI 4850 for $80 and got rid of it for a GTX 260 Core 216. It came with a free copy of COD 5 WAW and a $30 MIR on Newegg. The total came out to $240.XX and I think it was worth it. Does anyone else have any overclocking experience with this newer card?

BTW, I have a 22" monitor

Can you share a link to the gtx 260 you bought?

Well my gtx260 192core is oc to 700/1425/1250 i can go slightly higher but i dont like the heat output since i have them in sli.

why would you sell a 4850 for $80??

So far, World at War is disappointing...

Sold a $150 card for $80. But you got a 2-5fps performance increase, so grats.

Anyways, the original GTX260 overclocks better than the core 216, the 216 dosent overclock much at all.

I wonder why it wouldnt oc more its 55nm isnt it? The extra cores shouldnt raise much more heat, oh maybe nvidia limited the oc so it wont beat the gtx280.

@ Spathotan
My little brother needed a video card so I sold it to him for an excuse to buy a newer video card. I got the card last year when it came out so I got my money out of it.

@ Brian 101
I haven't heard many good things about COD WAW, but it comes with the GPU so I'll give it a try. The offer was on Newegg and it expired 2/12 so a link wouldn't show the offer.

@ Invisik
I originally was going to get a GTX 280, but by the time I went on Newegg they were all sold out. I didn't think the price/performance ratio was worth it to get a GTX 285 considering I can buy another card and SLI for $50 more at current prices.

Its not a temp/heat issue. It just dosent OC as well as the base 192shader GTX260. L1qu1d knows more about this than me.

Its something about the stability with more cores. I would assume it might take more voltage with more cores as well.
