6805c??

 

Do you mean a Gigabyte Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 video card?

If so, quite possibly.

 

  1. How is the condition of the card?
  2. Does it include any of the original packaging / box / cables / accessories?
  3. Which particular model is the card, and which cooler does it use (i.e. reference AMD cooler)?

I've never heard of that card. Do you mean a HD 6850?

 

If so, it is a great card for $40. It has GDDR5 memory and will do well at 1080P games set to around high.. It is in the middle of a a GTX 750Ti and a GTX 960.

For $40 the HD 6850 is a decent deal, although it may struggle in many modern titles. If you do plan to get a 980 though, the 6850 will do.
