I am trying to decide whether its worth selling or keeping when I get a new graphics card (around march I think after the market has settled again) currently have 2x8800gts (640mb) sli and playing at 1920x1200 I am not too bothered by AA and its only recently started to get frame drops on games (fallout 3 ultra high settings), otherwise every game has been silky smooth and at full settings. The current market price for this card new in the UK is
Eclipse Computers - Product Details
Second hand they are worth £60-70
So I potentially could get £120 selling both which would be half the price of the GTX260 that I want. But I also have a media centre build that is going to use up all my old parts, case and a motherboard without onboard video (so a video card is needed currently considering a silent 8500gt for £50 if I don't use a 8800gts) so I could put one of the cards in there and use the other as a dedicated physx card with the 260 good idea? I am on the fence atm fortunately these are only provisional decisions just looking for some peoples thoughts on the idea.
