Just wanted to drop in and let you know you cannot sell anything on the forums here. I understand you are asking for advice on what to sell it for, just be careful. If this turns into a for sale thread it will be gone. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 sorry, thats how much I think its worth......i take everything in consideration...upgradeability as well....agp is getting phased out, if it was a pcix system, i would pay more for it..........nf3, agp, to me its not worth more than 350 and id feel anyone is getting ripped off by paying more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0lie Posted April 13, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 well... I get over 250 frames in games btw... I really think it should be more then that..... also easily overclockable 100mhz easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kamil234 Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 250 fps you say? what you playing, pong? i got a dual core and 8800GTS and i dont get close to 250fps in the games i play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0lie Posted April 13, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 well... you can watch TV record listen to radio all that stuff with my card and I play CSS and halo btw. and with that 8800 that u have.. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0lie Posted April 13, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well.... I really don't know whats wrong with the 8800GTS but I know for a fact that the 8800GTS gets more FPS then 250 even on a higher res then 1024 by 1080 or w/e because one of my friends have and AMD x2 I think its the 4800 and he gets around 700 FPS for an average mark with BF2 CSS HALO and OBLIVION is around 580 evrg, and plays many other games. I donno if its ur Intel or what... theres no way u should have only 250 (LIES!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 .....seriously.....700fps......thats honestly, i thought this through many times without any regret, the dumbest thing i have heard in a longest time 8800gtx will hit, with luck, 160fps in bf2 @ 1280x1024 - and you are talking about a gts rendering 700+ fps !?.....you should seriously re-think what you say and re-think again whether you can back it up (....I dont mean anything against you, but you should really think twice or maybe even 3 times before posting something like that lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 The mere fact that 1)You don't know how much money your comp is worth, and 2) Well.... I really don't know whats wrong with the 8800GTS but I know for a fact that the 8800GTS gets more FPS then 250 even on a higher res then 1024 by 1080 or w/e because one of my friends have and AMD x2 I think its the 4800 and he gets around 700 FPS for an average mark with BF2 CSS HALO and OBLIVION is around 580 evrg, and plays many other games.

Nos7667 Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 And the FPS that he says he is getting with an All in wonder card is BS, What are you running your games on, the lowest settings possible with DX7?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 Everyone needs to chill out here. The guy is asking for advice and does not need to be insulted. If he does not agree with your advice fine, but there is no need to make derogotory comments. I know for a fact there are things each of us has no clue about. If you asked me for my opinion on something medical and you werent sure if I was right I would not make fun of you or your knowledge level. Cmon guys. You guys know we are family here and family supports each other, even the new additions to the family. If we cant play nice here and must all try to show that we know more than the next I will lock it. Everyone in this thread is a well respected member of testmy, now imagine how you are making this guy think of Testmy. A couple of people need to issue an apology in my opinion.

ghostmaster Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sorry for being a jerk. I guess I don't have a clue about tact. First, I planned all week on installing a Terabyte's worth of space on a data frame this morning, only to find out that the screws I used to mount the drives on the caddy's were rubbing against the tracks on the data frame, and wouldnt go in. So I had to scramble to find screws in a tub of screws. Then I just had to deal with a presenter who instead of putting his power point on a disk, or flash drive, hauled his entire desktop computer (the whole damn thing) to our building and wanted me to set it up for him to present on. Sorry, needed to vent.... I hate friday the 13th...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjageek Posted April 13, 2007 CID Share Posted April 13, 2007 Personally I would think no more than 500. Depends on if your selling it to a real geek or not. For your average person 500 seems fair. The computer can play current games well. Not to many people worry about the nuts and bolts. For 2 or 3 more they can pretty much get one at wally world with vista. For your average user, this is a pretty nice setup. Unless your hardcore gammer not to many worry about fps of a card. So personally I would say 5 tops and 4 at the least. Just my 2 cents. In fact one of the strong selling points would be it has xp and not that horrid vista most people hate. Unless I messed up and you do have vista. Then oops sorry.
