Well if you sell your current card and your parents are willing to buy you something equivalent to the [6800 GS ($220) + cash from selling your current card (200)], I'd say that's $420 + extra cash (> $30), you have a 7800 GTX , which is quite nice.

pft not likely. used electronics lose their value quick... id guesstimate that if you found the right buyer, 170, maybe 180 at best.

1 7800gt = 2 6800gt's roughly... if not a little better.

I'd recommend getting the 7900GT or x1900XT, since there the same price.

I was just searching through the forum, I know this thread was old
