NVGA-gtx 285 (2gb) video card worth $200? From a friend?

A buddy of mine has three NVGA-gtx 285 (2gb) video cards that he is cross-firing in his (very high-end) computer. I told him I was building a computer soon, and he offered to sell me one or two of his video cards at a price of $200 each, as he plans to upgrade.



I cannot find any reference as to how much these cards would cost new. I know they're good cards, but I'm wondering if he's trying to get an extra dollar off of me, or offer a good deal as he upgrades.



Any help would appreciated!



-Vincenzo|||You can buy a new mid range AMD 6850 ($212.00) or AMD 6870 ($240.00) graphic card, see PassMark High End Video Cards they rank 4 and 6 on the chart, then see where the 285 ranks. Also the new AMD 6850,6870 cards play all the newest games even Crysis, have the latest newest features. See you tube for AMD 6870... Put two of the 6870s in crossfire for the same price as a 480, and blow the 480 away. Can't wait for the release of the new High End AMD 6950,6970 and 6990...|||That's about right, but see if you can knock him down a little more. To get the same performance as the 285 you would have to spend more money today, around $240 for a GTX460 1Mb so yes it's not a bad deal as it's a 2Gb model.

A 285 will play just about any game around today with ease.
