I am debating downgrading and selling my unlocked 2GB 6950's. I paid $280/ea for them last December and the last couple unlocked 6950's I have seen have on eBay have sold for $278 and $285 + shipping. I originally got them because I was running eyefinity, but have since switched over to a 30" monitor a month ago.
I am still running 2560x1600 so I still need some muscle, would a OC'd GTX580 keep me pleased? I have seen several new for sale around $400, if I can sell my 6950's for $550-ish that would leave me with some left over funds to just about pay for a 120GB SSD boot drive.
I still game, but not a ton lately and no matter what I do, would likely eventually upgrade to the new AMD 7xxxx cards when they come out 3-5 months from now or whenever. Most the good games on the horizon are not coming out for 3+ months from now. Since the unlockable 6950's seem to be valuable at the moment and they are maybe more than I need at the moment, am I crazy for considering to sell them? I imagine if I wait to close to the 7xxx release, their value will plummet.
