8800 cards

[87dtna]

Got three cards I want to sell. Two 8800gt's, and an 8800 ultra. $60 each for the GT's, and $95 for the ultra.....shipped prices. All work perfect.

EDIT- Both GT's pending, and the ultra is on ebay now.

Those two 8800gt's are really tempting for folding....good luck with the sale.

Nice deals there! Isn't the 8800 Ultra actually faster than the 9800 GTX? I think Nvidia just improved on power efficiency in the 9800 series.

The ultra had much better memory bandwidth, the 9800gtx was just an 8800gts G92 for all intents and purposes. But yeah, heat/power consumption was lowered, i think the actual core was slightly more powerful on G92, but the fact it had less memory bandwidth let it down when compared to the ultra.

It's strange how popular the 9800 series is, since there isn't much of an improvement over the 8800 series. You would think that it would've been about as popular as the FX series.

Yeah it's hilarious on ebay....a 9800gt will go for easily $20 more than an 8800gt...and they are the same exact card.

To be fair, some of the 9800gt cards were 55nm.

True but it makes no difference in performance whatsover....and heat isn't really an issue either at a nearly silent 80% fan these 8800gt's run low to mid 60's at load.

Yeah, but some people will pay for it. Its those marketing geniuses at nvidia, i'm tellin ya those guys could sell pet rocks in the billions

ROFl, seriously. What cracks me up, though, is when a company like EVGA will come out with a "Superclocked" card that has about a 5MHz core clock improvement over stock speed and charge like, $25 more for it.

do any of those have physx?

All geforce 8 series and above support physx, so yes.

how well do the 8800 gt cards work for physx, say, as a dedicated physx card and not the primary?

 

[voyagerfan99]

Mhmm those cards are tempting for folding. Too bad I'm flat broke at the moment. Good luck with the sale though!

8800gt is the most commonly used card for physx, so i would say quite well.

lol,

Both GT's pending payment at this point and the ultra is on ebay now.

 

[87dtna]

One GT definitely sold!

Bump for some great prices!

I would buy an 8800gt but having some money problems right now, and my current WORKING computerhas only pci slots =.
