Good trade for a XFX Triple D 7990?

**I am not advertising my items just asking for opinions on a situation**

I have a listing on ebay for my R9 290 Vapor-X and a Ps3 Slim 250gb with Diablo 3 RoS, GTA V, South Park SoS and Killzone 3.

A guy sent me an offer to trade my 2 listings for his XFX triple D 7990

Is this a good offer?

i think you typed ps3 as ps4.. anyways! if you have required components(1000w psu, well ventilated cabinet etc etc.) i think its a good deal.
but if you have to collect rest of the parts then it might not be..
i'll upgrade to 7990 from r9 290 and i don't think ps3 is getting any exclusive (except for next persona). in fact many devs are going current gen only.
my 2 cents :)

Indeed, typo. Well actually I don't want a GPU for a few months but since my R9 290 isn't selling maybe I can grab that 7990 and sell it for more, quicker. That's my thinking at the moment. I can get about 150 for the Ps3 and 250 for the R9 290 vs maybe 400 or 500 for a used 7990 on ebay?

If your 290 isn't selling what makes you think a 7990 would fare any better? I see a couple 7990s up for around $300 and 0 bids.

do not buy 7990. the CF implementation in 7990 does not have XDMA. the card is a tough sell and should be avoided. just sell your items at the best price you get.

Ok thanks for the info. My thinking was that maybe the card would sell quicker because sometime people wants a flagship, even when it's a smaller performer. It's not everyone who knows the stats. Beside, the 7990 still fares good on the benchs. In many situations it stills is on top.

It's just a stuttery mess when it comes to frame times and with how the recent drivers have been with GCN 1.0, I wouldn't go for it either.
