Sell both and get the GT and an antec or lian li case...stacker is fugly
I donno why you would only sell 1 of your 2 GTS cards, since you cant SLi a GT with a GTS.

Ok I bought it on the 6th of November and I have four days to send it back. That is enough time I think to get my $379.99 back. For the second post I am going to sell my other one but that has to be sold first before I can do anything. So first I would send the first one back to Newegg and then sell my GTS on Hard, craigslist, or ebay. I am a graphics whore and wonder if I should just get a full size tower, or take out the HDD rack in my Raidmax for the GTX. I want to go SLI with it and I know the GT has a crap fan that is loud! The performance from it is amazing though and it would be nice to just get sli by adding another $100 or so to the total that I have with the GTS.

Definitely send it back if you wanna wait, i've seen used GTX's go for under $400...
GTS for more than $200 is stupid as this point...
I bought my GTS 320 SC back in April for $230 AR (back when they still went for $300) and now I'll sell it for $180-200 and grab the new 92nm GTX when it comes out... hopefully for around $500...

Sorry man but hey I didn't know the GT was out and I found a kick ass deal on a GTX. So why not send it back take the money get a better card and be happy. I still have to sell the other one. Which I may use to get a 680i mobo and sell my mobo an proc and put that towards a q6600! This is starting to sound like a great idea. Then the new 9800gtx will be out and everyone will dump their 8800gtx, I pick up another FTW for cheap and be done for another year. LOL

The cards would be very hot if it was 92nm for sure...
Yeah I have issues with this also...
Be careful about your purchases in future, you should be doing enough research to make an informed choice, not buying then returning because it suits you.
WTF? Last time I checked, he can do whatever the crap he wants. It's his loss/gain if he decides to sell and rebuy.
I really don't know how on earth this would bother you because you lose nothing! Last time I checked it is actually better for you because they sell it as an open box for a perfect product and someone else gets to save the money. Why are you so for the corporate structure?
What kind of GTS is it? 640 or 320?
lol, GT is not much better than GTS 640 BTW. Returning the card to newegg means shipping + 15% restocking fee, you will lose some dope on that. Selling your GTS will bring loss too, so I would just stick with the two cards that you have, unless you can find somebody to trade 2xGTS for 1x GTX.

First and foremost it is my right to send it back since new egg has a 30 day return policy! So i have no tears for the egg or for EVGA when I have tried the product, it is not up to the performance that I find acceptable for the price. Since I haven't broken in rules or laws I don't feel any remorse. It is the companies responsibility to give the consumer the choice of whether to keep their product or return it as long as it is within a reasonable time frame. Seeing that their time frame is 30 days then I have meet that time frame and it should be of no care to you.
I am cool with it and not cool with it in the same sense. Since newegg will be charging me 56.99 for having the product and sending it back they aren't losing a dime (so these lames can STFU). For me it is like a rental fee. If I send it back and get an 8800GTX from someone for 400 after shipping mine back I am out about $79 total. If I do the step up program through EVGA I have to spend $170 to get the GTX. Is the GTX performance that much better. Since I have seen not that much of an improvement in my games with SLI. I can sell my other 8800gts and get a 680i board and hold out a little longer for a e6600.
instead of going SLI maybe you should get a new mobo/cpu. i have a feeling you'd see a bigger performance difference.
paying newegg for restocking fee sucks, but yeah let this is be a lesson for you that you do your research before you buy something for hundreds of dollars.

I have been thinking a lot about the new mobo/cpu combo instead for a while now. I want to get an asus p5n-32 sli 680i board and a q6600 since it is very OC. Lesson learned, but in my defense I had an 8800gts already and didn't know the GT was coming out. Not to mention when I got my second 8800gts crysis wasn't even out. But looking at everything that entails me getting another card it doesn't really look to be worth the greif. I think I will get the mobo/cpu combo and a momo racing wheel off of Craigs list. And just start saving up for a new 9800gtx sli set up in a year.
Already saving for SLI setup? lol, you sir crack me up. Jeebus, specs are not even out yet...find something to do. Getting q6600 is a good idea, but I never understood all of the fuss about SLI, I am quite happy with one card. Anyway, I would go with P35 chipset instead, better chipset, no SLI though.
Glade to make you laugh
! I think I said here somewhere that I was a "graphics whore", but anyway I have sli already and for some games it gives me a nice boost. I don't know if it is a $400 dollars boost but a nice boost. But in games like Crysis it doesn't do anything really. Oh and the 9088gtx comment was just saying, I am going to save for the next generation of cards and buy a year down the line. I know the specs aren't out yet but I know they will be better than what is out now (which is already great).
