    Price Check

    I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU so I thinking of selling my reference XFX HD5850.

    It's had nowhere near the use it could have had due to all the house renovations I've been involved in.

    Is £60-£70 fair? Comes with all it's original packaging.
    Of course I'm perfect you just need to lower your expectations.

    Re: Price Check

    If you look at ebay it seems like it's possible to get £80-£100. Maybe that's price gouging a bit, but £70 seems minimum really, the lower prices are more likely where the bidder has lucked out.

    Re: Price Check

    You're most likely to fetch ~£50 i imagine.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    So somewhere between £50 and £100...ok...thanks chaps but I'm left in much the same situation.

    Re: Price Check

    I think you'd get more on ebay, than here with a collection of aficiandos. I'd say £50 here, £60-70 on ebay.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    So allowing for fees about £50-55...hmmm...5850 is a damn decent card and I could try overclocking it...in fact in the review on HEXUS, where they compared a 5850, 6850 and 7850, the 5850 came out smelling of roses (with a bit of organic manure here and there).

    So maybe I'll stick with this one a while longer and have a bit of a play once I've sorted the CPU conundrum.

    £50 seems about right - £80 or more is squarely forum gtx 480 money , £100 is where gtx 560ti`s hover.
