A while ago, I posted my faulty XFX 9800GX2 for next to nothing because 1 of the GPUs had failed. Well I sent it back to XFX and got it replaced with an HD 5850!!! Yay!!!

They were initially offering an HD 4890 as the replacement but I decided to pay an extra $100US for this one. I was going to keep it, but I decided to sell and go for an HD 5870.

Its brand new, untouched, plastic wrapping still on it and everything.

aite ppl. not 100% sure yet, but i may end up keeping this baby. but as i said, i'm not sure, so if i decide to sell, Berzerk still in line.

That's one hell of a card. Cant imagine why you'll want to sell it.

rassmatic · « **Reply #9 on:** April 22, 2010, 04:14:34 PM »

well, i was torn between either keeping the 5850 and buying a second one soon after or selling it and my present card, buying a 5870,

then a second one maybe 3-5 months from now. seeing as there's already 2 men on the site with Crossfire 5850s, i didn't want to make it 3.

but i'm reconsidering and might just go with choice number 1.

Someone show me the memo where it says that only those two men are allowed to have Crossfire 5850s.

I think the smarter thing to do would have been to sell the 4870 X2, and get another 5850.
I wonder though...can your current mobo even DO Crossfire?

I didn't say only 2 men allowed to have crossfire 5850. what i meant was that i didn't want to become 'man #3'.

i wanted to come out big an mush up even de men wit deh 5970s (after some other upgrades of course

).

but i have to study money too eh. my plan was to indeed sell the 4870X2 and buy a second card.

and BTW, what mobo u feel i runnin here mister? is no jokey man ting i have u kno. but i never.
