Free GTX260 for Clan Member in need

Post by Megageth »

I just upgraded and my old card (EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express) is up for grabs.

Anyone in the clan whose graphics is less powerful than this card or has a 260 already and wants it for SLi is welcome to apply. List your current graphics card and I will pick the most needful applicant.
Please do not apply for this card with the intention of selling it to feed your tik habit. <- That should eliminate 90% of the applicants right there.

If you know another gamer that might need it, let me know, but its open to the clan first.

I assume a 5850 slightly > a 260, or is close enough for it not to make a difference?

Ya according to this, the 5850 beats the 275 which I guess is similar in performance to a superclocked 260:

I know I will be disqualified for lucky reasons :) , but my old machine my kids are now using has a 9800gtx+ and I would happily make an offer as that 260 has the fan at the back which would mean I could finally put the awesome sound card lee gave me in that machine.
But i would rather it went to someone that needs it.

Yeah, I've got a friend who really really needs one too.
I'll pay you a little for it too if you want :D

(Friend has a GTX 7800 <-- ouch)

I assume my GTX295 is a better card?

I also have a friend in need, but rather let Lee have it first if not Fly's girl.

The 4890 beats the 260 quite comfortably. If you are having problems I would guess its more to do with CPU/RAM/Driver issues. What are your other system specs?
