opinions on my ati card

[kagekitsune]

so i got this card when it first came out. should i stick with it for a while longer or go ahead and move to a newer one soon. heres what i have:

ATI HD 2900 XT 512

yea i shoulda waited till it went down in price but i needed one so i paid full price when it first came out. so whats the verdict? keep it longer or go ahead and change it.

It's still a fast card.
The only major disadvantage it has right now is that it's a bit power hungry compared to most cards today.

You could probably sell it and get a jump start on a great card, especially since like Apokalipse mentioned it's still good ;]

I'd say sell it and pick up a 4850. You might get $100 for it . But 4850's are as low as $149 after MIR and maybe lower now, haven't looked.

But if you want, keep it, it's still fast.

definitely a power hog. oink oink.

most likely i will end up selling it and get a more powerful but more energy efficient card then. thanks for the input everyone

Just understand the 4850 runs a little hot and you should probably pick up a after market cooler if you plan to over clock.

With the stock fan settings, but you have to use the Fan Hack and its fine then

Wait so you just up it to 100% and you should be fine?
