    Thinking of ditching my 1070 and sitting on the side lines... help

    Very enough! Didn't mean to go against the Forum rules. I will ask mods to close.

    Thinking of ditching my 1070 and sitting on the side lines... help

    Heh.... I wish I could get that much. I think I can get $525-$550 from a motivated buyer.

    Thinking of ditching my 1070 and sitting on the side lines... help

    All, With current market conditions, I am thinking of sitting on the sidelines on PC Gaming. That being said, I currently have EVGA 1070 SC b stock that I have had since June of 2017. Warranty is non transferable. Any idea what this is worth? I was considering a trade for a 1050TI + $250...

    Fire Strike on my new Asus DUAL RX 480 4GB, bad card?

    Just hooked up the XFX GTR. Damn this thing is a beauty with the hard swap white fans. Ran fire strike Graphics Score 13,678 Total Score 10,335 Beat the highest OC that the Asus Dual did on a heavy overclock. I will have to noodle around to do a slight overclock. Also, look into...

    Fire Strike on my new Asus DUAL RX 480 4GB, bad card?

    Disregard.... I am returning it and I went with the XFX GTR Black Edition RX 480 8GB (W/ Hard Swap Fan Kit) for $202. I've learned sometimes you have to pay to get quality.

    Fire Strike on my new Asus DUAL RX 480 4GB, bad card?

    All, I did a Fire Strike on my OC'ed 7950 Twin Frozr before I swapped them out. 6,399 score or 7,415 graphics score. I used MSI Afterburner with a clean install on AMD drivers. Stock - 9,217 total score. OCed (CC 1380, MC 1850, CU +66, PL +50%) 9,929 total score or 12,819 graphics score. I...

    Looking for a new GPU *Update 01/31 - Found card!*

    7950, not 280X. I'm not thrilled that its Asus, as I would prefer MSI Twin Frozr again, so I will be holding this for a bit before I use it.

    Looking for a new GPU *Update 01/31 - Found card!*

    I could not resist anymore! Bought the https://jet.com/product/ASUS-Dual-fan-Radeon-RX-480-4GB-OC-Edition-AMD-Gaming-Graphics-Card-with-DP-14-H/fbf04dad92cc4935b9430feded6104d7 For $161 - $20 MIR = $141 shipped (also got $20 iBotta so really $121). Unfortunately, that means that the 7950...

    Gigabyte 1070 FE - pull trigger?

    Pretty much, I like upgrading on crazy deals, so I always find those to be in the $200-$250 range. In this case, I would like a RX480 8GB for sub $200, but probably won't happen, missed out during BF. Good point, I could just upgrade to RX480 or 1060 and then upgrade in 1-2 years. I could...

    Gigabyte 1070 FE - pull trigger?

    This is correct. I can easily afford to buy the top tier GPUs however the buying and selling every so often is painful. I just like snagging really good deal on mid range GPUs. Honestly, I think I am about one generation of GPUs away from the new gen mid-range making a huge jump for me. But...

    Gigabyte 1070 FE - pull trigger?

    Here is the hard thing, I am such a tightwad yet I make a good living. For some reason, I have such a problem with buying GPUs because there are so many fricking options: I want the card that can be OCed the best, best fans, best performance, best price. Then at the end of it all, I don't even...

    Gigabyte 1070 FE - pull trigger?

    Impossible. Plus, it doesn't even look like its on sale or discounted.

    Gigabyte 1070 FE - pull trigger?

    Yeah, I changed my mind unfortunately. I don't even know if I need a 1070, a 1060 might be good enough for the right price.

    Gigabyte 1070 FE - pull trigger?
