Normally its frowned upon to link stupid shit from TL but I think this is appropriate. Ebay Link
I have had this 512 MB video card for a year but my power supply was too weak and my motherboard was not compatible. I installed it once then took it out and put it back in the box.
Starting bid is 25$ and it ends in 9 days. I will ship it for free.

Do you mean an nVidia? I dont think there is a Radeon 8800GS. Theres a Radeon 8800 but no GS and thats also at least 5 or 6 years old.
|
yea it's a nvidia geforce 8800gs, just check the link it's by XFX. i have an XFX 8600GT, it's pretty good. $25..mm....

it will run sc2.
that may help you sell lol

"XFX GeForce 8800 GS 512 MB" "Memory Size: 384 MB"
not to suggest you are trying to rob someone of 128 mb of ram but you might have the wrong product description
|
it says 512 on the box buddy. thats just the stupid thing ebay came up with to represent it.. I should change it but its actually 512! So yea your right TT k fixed listing with a disclaimer about it being on the box :DD
|
is it possible that a computer can be so old that it cant support this graphics card?
|

what's a non-SLI? SLI is using multiple NVidia video cards in conjunction with one another to increase performance.
You don't necessarily need 600W, (Although it does matter which cards you're using and how many), its just recommended by NVidia so nobody can complain. Furthermore, the brand and model of the power supply you're using should be taken into consideration.

yes but you need a 6 pin connector which does not come with lower PSUs

edit: wtf double post 3 hours apart

Is it still under warranty?
|
Its an old card, so probably not.

Why? You can pick up a 9800GT for under $100 USD these days..

I myself wouldn't have gone for anything short of a geforce 8800 gt/gts/gtx (512 mb version, not the older ones!) or radeon 3870. Which seems likely to be able to handle starcraft 2 well.

Im sure this would run SC2, i bought it for around 200$, There is no way it was that bad even back then. SC2 is comparable to WC3 (probably a bit better) graphics-wise. Also i know video cards go out of date, that is why I am selling it on ebay without a buy it now price because i know people will not buy it for more than 100.
