WTB: 4870, 4890, 5770, 5850, 5870, gtx275

Hi there,
I wish to buy any of these cards: cheap 4870 1GB, 4890, 5770 1GB, 5850, 5870,

or cheap Gtx260s, GTX275s or GTX280s

I have a MSI N275GTX TwinFrozr OC GeForce GTX 275 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - Retail I bought at Newegg for $235 on 9/1/2009.

My Newegg review:

Pros: I was able to overclock the Video Card. Running full screen benchmarks in 1900 x 1200 for a minute, I had an o3Marks score from 1600 (default settings) to 4143 with an FPS avg from 22 (default settings) to 69. Max GPU Temp at 75C.

Default Core Clock from 666 MHz to 720 MHz
Default Shader Clock from 1476 MHz to 1596 MHz
Default Memory Clock from 1161 MHz to 1260 MHz

Cons: While the highest o3Marks score was 4143 after trying different settings, the average score I've been getting is 3501 with the same settings as the highest score with a 58 FPS average. Still, more than doubled the default setting performance. Not really a con, but would always like to see more of an overclock.

Other Thoughts: Doesn't come with a game... but Max GPU Temp being 75C is pretty good.

FurMark to stress test and benchmark. GPU-Z to monitor Core Temp. EVGA Precision to hardware overclock (Riva-Tuner wouldn't work with the latest drivers, and EVGA Precision you have to reboot in order for the settings to kick in).

Note: The latest firmware update with NVidia is unable to software overclock, just so you know. You either need a previous version of the firmware, or wait until they fix the issue.

Prices of video cards, along with SSD's and memory have gone up. Name your price and I might consider.

I'm trying to sell my EVGA GTX260 Core 216. Purchased 3 months ago on NewEgg. Asking $150+Shipping and will include FarCry2 as well as all original packaging/contents.

Hi there,
I'd like to buy em but unfortunately I don't think it'll do me much good.

A gx2 isn't needed for my main rig - while I would've loved to get it for my 2ndary rig, I just checked and it probably can't handle it with its power supply, nor do I think the small-mid case w/ so-so airflow could handle a dual-GPU card.

=(

Anything else?

I have 2 4890's I'll sell for $150/ea

Still available? whats the best you can do?

That was meant for guy with 4890 sorry didnt mean to hijack the thread

I got two Sapphire HD 4850's for sale

$80 each, $160 shipped.

Both overclock to 690 mhz core/1190 mhz memory, both stay under 60c under full load (even after 13 hours of folding for Tomshardware)
Let me know if you want them.

I have an EVGA GTX 275 w/Backplate I'd let go for 200$ shipped or an EVGA GTX 275 Co-Op I'd let go for 270$ shipped.

EVGA GTX 280 for 99.99 shipped to your doorstep! ...or buy my whole PC. I'll give ya a steal

lol what???

So who you gonna buy from?

Hey there, thanks for your offer but I am looking for cheaper options or 4890s or 275s for around that price.
Also, I think my local microcenter sells bfg-maxcores 260s for around the same price, gotta love 'em.


thanks anyways

I have an EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition. What kind of price are you looking at?

I sold mine on e-bay for 173.00$ =)

Lifetime Warranty and Overvolting option, doesnt get any better than that !!

Im not impressed so far with my 5850, AMD's drivers are not up to par =(

The GTX 260 gave me 0 issues, everything was soo smooth and the performance was great. With the 5850 I get issues in BC2, Dirt2 and L4D2... Screen flicker every now n then regardless of the game.. Meh, kinda bummed out ATM..

would you be interested in a 9800 GX2 ?

I may have 1-2 for sale later in the weekend.

the card itself is FLAWLESS, the drivers are just not there yet...

I have a Asus 4870 1gb with custom Asus Dark Knight cooler,

Looking for 120$+Ship.

Thanks.
