Ok so im using the EVGA step up program, from a GTX260 216 to a GTX 285....

But i don't have any other GPU to plug my monitor while my current card is shipped out :(

So, what piece of shit card do you suggest me ????? here's what i could get from a site similar to ebay, but for seller from my city ( so i can go grab the card fast)

-Geforce 7200, 40$can
-ATI EAH 2600pro, 45$can
-HD 3650 512m, 70$can

They are all negociable of course.

What do you guys suggest me ? consider ill want to sell it back after, so i don't mind paying like 70$can, if i can sell it after for 65$can or even the same price !!!

thx !!

*edit, my mobo is a ASUS P5K-e if it matters. . .
 
EAH 2600pro is your best bet for resellability. nobody wants to buy a 3650 when they can get a 48 series cheaper.
The 2600pro can be sold to people who have a s939 system and want to upgrade.
 
I would get a 4 series card from ati.. people are more apt to buying newer generation cards than older tech
 
buy the cheapest POS card you can get.... why waste money on somethng you will use for a 1 to 2 weeks.
 
I'd just like someone to confirm me if that ATI EAH 2600pro (pci-e) fit on my ASUS P5K-e. . .

thx a lot !
 
It won't 'fix' your board, but, yes, it WILL run and your system will be powered. (Assuming all other components are not faulty)
It won't give as good performance as your GTX260 however.

lol sry, i meant ''fit'' of course . .

and thx !
 
why not spend a little more money and get a decent backup card?
ASUS EN9600GSO TOP/HTDP/384M GeForce 9600 GSO $99
I have the 8800gs in my main rig right now and on the 22" @ 1680x1050 on left 4 dead im running 2xaa 4xaf all settings on high and get minimum 45-50 with a horde and steady 60-90 everywhere else. I would think that this card would perform similarily
