Q: What would you do?

[b1NARY73]

I have a Gigabyte X800XT, and my friend has an eVGA 6800 Ultra that he wants to trade me plus 75.00 cash. I had a 6800GT and noticed a world of difference going from that to the X800. I like the 6800 Ultra's support for HDR and other little bonuses, but the pure Power of the Ultra plus the cash is definately tempting. What would you do?

tell your friend to go rip off someone else.

See if you can get $100 out of him.

See how far it overclocks. If it doesn't go past 540, ask to borrow his Ultra to try it out and see how far it clocks

Don't tell him any of this though

I'd like to revise this. If the ultra overclocks better, then burn the hell out of the XT since he's asking $75 from you. Make sure you make it get huge artifacts even in 640x480x16.

His friend is paying him for the trade, is he not?

Oh, I misread that. If he is giving you $75 with the ultra, take the offer.
