What to do with my GTX 280

[braveheart0707]

HI guys~ building a new system, just wondering what to do with my previous card, which is GTX 280. Getting a new card thats at least R9 280X level.

Can i use it a dedicated PhysX card or...what?

You can but there are better, more efficient cards to use for that purpose.

280X is a rebadge with nothing added, grab a quality 7950 with 3 free games for $190 instead :thumbsup:

That amount of power consumption and heat generated just to run PhysX seems a bit excessive. Just sell it.

Id be interested in it.

You'd be interested in a waffle iron if it came with a DVI port. 😛

lol, a waffle iron with a dvi port would mean you could flash the iron's bios to support blueberry Pi's with under 5 millisecond syrup seek time. drool worthy.

I'd keep it as a backup, if you don't already have one. While unlikely, if something happens to your new card and you need to RMA, you'll be glad you have a backup card.

Is it an ill-tempered waffle iron ?

Just keep it as backup, in case you new card decides to die out.
