Hi, I have a 9800 Pro right now. I am able to get a 6800gt for $100. Basically a free upgrade after I sell my card. It is the crappy Asus version which has the slower 700mhz memory, but it is still much better than my card and retails for $280 from Newegg.
I am buying it from a member here. It has a few problems though and I am wondering if I should risk it. The card artifacts badly in the Star Wars family of games. However, it works fine in Doom 3, HL2, and all 3dmark's. A radeon 9700 worked fine in the SW game.
He rma'ed the card and they sent it back to him. He told him it still didn't work, so they sent him a new card and let him keep the old one. He sold the new one and got a x800xl. He still has the old one which he is selling me. Meaning that RMA is out of the question.
I will only be playing BF2, HL2, mods, and Chaos Theory. I have to play on medium now. My monitor does 1280:1024. Would you risk doing the upgrade. What do you think the problem is? Thanks for the help.
