Alright folks...

I think I might have picked up a bargain but aint sure. Just wanted to check with you guys.

What do ya think a 7900GTO is worth?

About £30/40 now.

Sad really, but that's technology for you.

Na that's cool... One sold on fleebay for 60 quid the other day and others for about 40 but ya can't go by those prices really as they vary.

As I've just sent back ma 280, I got one as a back up to cover me for a month for 30 quid. Gotta give my dads new 7900GS back in a few days ya see which cost £40 new.

Yeah picked up the XFX GS for £39.99 I think it was but that's defo PCI-E as I'm using it right now. Not a bad little card to keep me going for now.

I've had a 7900GTO in various rigs for a couple of years and it's a pretty good card really. Quicker than an 8600 thingy I think anyway.

However I imagine it uses vastly more power than any 8*** equivalent which isn't really good news these days with everything costing more. You never realize quite how much petrol they need to drive all the electricity round

Well like I said.. Should only be for a month... Until the X2s are out.
