Yeah, I'm in a similar situation. I bought a ATI AIW X800XT, had issues with the capture part of it (thought it was my comp) so I traded it to a friend for his X800PRO and some cash. Then I went out and bought a X800XT Sapphire, now I have this X800PRO just hanging around, nobody seems to want it, and I could really use that $300 lol
Should have thought about that before you bought the XT. Damn makes me wonder what is going through you people's mind sometimes. Of course nobody is going to buy one for 300 when you can get a new one cheaper.
Go look up the Visiontek X800PRO genius, it's $380 retail, I don't currently have mine up for sale but I'd only be looking for $285 shipped. They go for higher than that everywhere I've seen, I've only been holding onto it because a buddy has expressed interest in it, I'm waiting to see what he wants to do.
Why did you buy an X800XT when you had an X800Pro? How much is the performance difference to be worth $300?
The X800XT I got for $430, my friend paid me $460 for my AIW, I'm hardly losing money on the deal. Plus I've been selling off a lot of excess parts I had laying around, so I've got some cash to do some upgrading right now, and the performance gain is well worth the $50 difference between the PRO and XT cards. Hell, you gain 4 more pipelines, in heavily congested areas in games like Painkiller or HL2 you go from choppy 20fps to perfectly smooth 40fps without an issue.
