Default What should I do with this graphics card?

I have this XFX 9800GTX+ but I can't find a way to make it usefull. I've tried using it as a dedicated PhysX card, but I didn't notice any huge differences in games which support PhysX like Batman and UT3. I even noticed a performance drop in Vantage, and of course the extra heat .

Does anybody have an advice what I should do with this card as selling it for 60 euro's seems pretty bad.

Just sell it or heck, give it away in the freebies section. Someone is bound to want it.

Yeah I already thought about that, but I just wanted to ask if I could use this card for something usefull.

Edit: @Demented doesn't that require two systems, or could I fold only on the 9800GTX+?

Sell it or give it away! I always kinda thought that a physx card isn't worth the extra heat. Anyway, as long as the heat doesn't hurt your overclock or make your cards artifact then just keep it!

Think fast though, because if you never use it then pretty soon the resale value will go down a lot do to next gen cards!

I'm sure it can be done to just fold on the 9800GTX+, but as far as the knowledge of how to do so; hopefully someone else will come along and help you.

If it can't be done individually, and you still want to help the cause, sell it/freebie it to someone who folds regularly, so it will definitely be used.
