Mobius1 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 :D My factory superclocked 8800 GTX that has served me so well for the last few years finally crapped out last night and I need something to replace it. I have no plans for upgrading right now (I only have another year on this PC before becoming EXTREMELY busy for ~2.5 to 3 years) but I do want something that performs well enough that I'm not downgrading at all. I have an EVGA 680i SLI MB and would like a video card that is comparable to my 8800 and in the less than $150 range (I'll spend a little more if it's really worth it). I have an E8500 overclocked to 3.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and have been out of the game for a while so I don't really know what I should be looking at. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. :thumbup: Stupid thermals...
Mobius1 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Posted December 24, 2010 Alright, after a bit of research, I've come up with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130591 It seems people are using them in the 680i SLI boards with no issues and they seem to perform well and it's in my price range. Anyone know anything about them? Thanks again. Stupid thermals...

Mobius1 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Posted December 24, 2010 LOL, come on guys! I'm all about cheap here. I decided long ago I paid way too much for computer hardware so I've been on cheap street since. Maybe it's because I haven't been looking for a while, but $160 for a decent video card seems like a steal to me. Heck, I remember the days when you would have to shell out $400-500 just for a video card, then have to walk up hill both ways through a blizzard to get it out of the mailbox! Or something like that... :joystick: :D Stupid thermals...
