what should i do with my GPUS GTX 460, 9800GT, HD4850,

so now i upgraded my hardware after a few years now. and i have a lot of hardware just siting next to my desk nothing nothing but just the box getting dust. i was board so i applied new thermal paste to them and i just tested them and they are the right temps.

now what should i do with them?

i have

Geforce 8400GT 256MB- bought at novermber 2007

ATI HD 4850 1GB- Bought at July 2010

Geforce 9800GT 512MB -just bought from FRYS at December 2009

GTX 460 1GB - bought at October 2010

2 DVD + R burners

1 DVD + - R IDE- bought at October 2010

AMD Athlon II x4 stock heat sink.

a SONY VIOS with a Pentiume 4- 8 year old PC

note my sig is not out of date. i just want to sell my GTX 460 so i can buy the EVGA 460 i always wanted to buy

Keep the 460 as backup and sell the rest. I am assuming that your Sig is out of date. If you have a nvidia card, you could always use the 460 as a physx card.Brean24

no my sig is not out of date. i just want to sell the GTX 460 so i cang et teh GTX 460 i always wanted to buy. but at the time it was over $250 now its less then $200 which got me mad becuase i only got the card litteray 30 days i think it was less then 30 days when they cut the prices

the 9800gt would make a nice physics card if you have the extra pci-e slots

It makes absolutely no sense to sell one GTX 460 1GB just to get one from another vendor. Keep the one you have.

As far as the other cards, I would sell them. Although it's not a bad idea to keep one of them around as a back-up in case your primary GPU ever goes down.

sell what you don't need on ebay.... don't wait, cuz then the value goes down.

don't sell it dude it's already oc'ed and does what it needs to do but off topic what brand did you actually want? Because if you do decide on selling it which is what you want to do in the long run what company are you actually wanting to go with Evga is Pretty good my first card from them was my gtx 480 SC and i'm purchasing a second one before christmas with a 1000w psu :)

wish i can SLI my mobo only supports one GPU becuase it has only one PCI-e x16 slot.

ill keep my GTX 460 u guy conviced me. to bad there isnt to many SLI AMD boards.

[QUOTE="tequilasunriser"] Does it have another PCI-e lane though? One that isn't 16x like an 8x or something, or do you literally only have 1 lane? There is nothing wrong with 8x 8x SLI, there is almost no difference in performance from 16x 16x to 8x 8x.tequilasunriser

sadly a friend of mine fits into the category....

[QUOTE="tequilasunriser"] Stupid isn't it? I have a 16x 8x crossfire mobo and I'm thinking I'm going to end up getting 2 6850s in 8x 8x configuration. That all depends on how AMD's 69xx series looks.Neo_revolution7
