    Price Check: ScanFX 7800GTX

    Hi Guys,

    I'm thinking of flogging my PC, as I've got some major exams coming up...I won't be able to use it for 2 months at least, and I could do with a new laptop that has more than 10 mins battery life and doesn't take 11 mins to load windows .

    This is the model of the card in question:
    http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.p...t=Scan+7800GTX
    Using Nvidia's display control panel, and setting it to AutoDetect, I know for a fact that it will clock to 490/1300, I haven't tried higher than that (I'm not an overclocker by any means...I prefer to buy good quality stuff and run them at stock for their lifetime) although I know some people have managed much higher clocks with this particular card.

    I bought the card mainly because of the stock cooler...it's damn quiet, and very effective...the card idles at 32C and the highest I've ever seen it peak under load is 50C.

    It's been used fairly lightly for a month or two now....now that I've got no games to play...the most stress that it handles is my crazy windows desktop picture .

    I'm looking for a rough guide on what I should expect to get for this card....

    Cheers guys...appreciate it

    £180 (a £200 7900GT will outperform it slightly).

    I would think around £140, I sold mine 4 months ago for £165 and considering that it performs just as well as a 7900GT but wont die on you unexpectedly is a bonus, considering it has got the better cooler on it as well it should of held it's price.

    I dunno, my 7900GT has served me well for 4 months, not died yet, off to the big shop down the road tomorrow to be sold.

    Just got to remember where I put the box, stock cooler and game, or might just forget the game was included, ho hum.

    What you thinking of getting instead, or do I already know the answer to that question?

    Edit: If you have a CEX near you they will pay £159 for a 7800GTX.
