Probably just junk..

Hey guys,

I'm doing some cleanup/rearrangement of my downstairs and I have an old 9800GTX+ with an aftermarket cooler. I'm not sure if anyone has a use for it at all. A lot of you guys are way way more techy than me, so who knows.

I have its sister in my machine just for PhysX. Used to run them SLI before they were replaced by a better card.

The cooler is pulled off the card right now. I was gonna do a voltage mod, but never started it. I'll give it away to anyone for free if they wanna toss me a few bones for shipping. Otherwise I'm gonna toss it out. Just hate to waste something if someone can make use of it.

For an old machine, this would be pretty decent. It is slightly better than the legendary 880GT, less powerful/energy efficient than the comparable 750ti you can buy today.

My PC is about 6 years old with some ati card (think it is 980?), do u think this will work?

I'm not really familiar with ATI stuff, just Nvidia. Totally depends on what model of ATI card you have to know if it would be an upgrade or a downgrade from what you have already.

Almost positive that the card will work with anything made in the last 10+ years. As long as you have a PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard then it'll work. It's been that way ever since I started building PC stuff.

Let me dig out the mobo's manual, if it works I will take it.

Bah, it's super low, non-shaggy carpet. Just like, "never clean your computer with compressed air." Been doing it for 8 years with no problem. End up with a machine that looks brand new on the inside.

Alrighty, card going to Lastblade. Hope it works out well for you, glad I was able to find someone who can get some good use out of it!
