Can't seem to sell my gtx 670 - keep and use for Physx?

[Monty007]

Hey,

 

Upgraded to GTX 780 Hydro copper card.  Can't seem to sell my water-cooled GTX 670.  Went as low as $250 on Craigslist.  No bites.  Should I use it as a dedicated Physx card?

If you were close to me I'd buy it for $250 for sure.

[Tea1337]

You could do that, just keep it for shiggls and gits.

[AlwaysFSX]

Dedicated physx cards often provide worse performance than a single card by itself

Not when they're at 670's level of performance for PhysX? Can always turn it down a notch and it still looks better.

Cup holder time!

No, and 250 is a little high, you can get a brand new 760 for around that price (which is an OCed 670)

[_ASSASSIN_]

Sell it dude

[DeViLzzz]

$250 is not high and a brand new GTX 760 in many ways is not as good as a GTX 670.

760 is on par with 660ti, kinda abit lower than 670

It is a rebranded 670

[JAKEBAB]

dedicated physx cards are a gimmick.

It is a rebranded 670

thats what i thought but apparently its not someone told me on the forum not long ago it wasnt and i was like waah apparently the 760ti is the rebrand.

*Cough* Tek Syndicate *Cough*

[KrazyKap]

Surprised It hasn't sold. I was after a reference one to WC for ages but settled for a DCUMOC instead from someone in NZ.

Keep it for secondary/family rig or whatever

[LancerBG]

things are worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. lower the price if you really want to sell it otherwise toy with it and take the loss completely. 

[bacosta1993]

It is a little high. I bought a 680 for $260 on craigslist

a 760 is a rebrand of a 670 and actually overclocks better.

It is a rebranded 670

correct. (though a few cuda cores were removed, 1152 as opposed to the 670's 1344.) and the base core clock raised from 980 to 1033. however this does not make much of an impact on performance. it is on the same bus speed (256) as the 670 while the 660 Ti has exactly the same specs as the 670 with a 192.2 bit bus speed as opposed to the 256 bit. The 760 is basically in between the 660 Ti and the 670 (closer to the 670 because of the bus speed) And overclocks a bit better imho.

all three cards the 660 Ti, 670 and the 760 are essentially the same card.

[Cryptonite]

Except for the missing a few cuda cores, thus making it not a rebrand.

Nvidia themselves said earlier this year that they took the 670, removed a few cores and upped the core speed to create the 760. If they kept the cores as they were no one would buy the 670 anymore and it was still in fluctuation.

[Monty007]

The card I have is the gigabyte factory OC 2 GB model with an XSPC water block and an EK backplate and 2 fittings. It is the Nvidia reference card as the block is for the 680. At $300 I was also offering the XSPC dual bay res pump combo. I thought the pricing was totally fair.

[Monty007]

Seems like the consensus is no as a Physx card?

[Cryptonite]

Which makes the two SKU's different and thus not a rebrand?

 

By your logic a 780ti is basically 100 percent the same as a regular 780, or a 7950 is the exact same as a 7970

it's a clever rebrand, the performance is the same but the specs are different, my english isn't good enough to explain it much better than this. but basically just because I want to give you 5 one dollar bills or two one dollar bills (idk if this exists but idc either way) and 3 dollars worth of nickles or dimes or whatever. the end result will still be 5 dollars (or maybe 4 dollars 99 cents as the trick they pull here and it would still be the same currency. (in this case manufacturer)

 

if the chipset was different and the performance difference wasn't marginal, I'd agree.

 

By your logic the 780 and the Ti perform the same?

[Cryptonite]

No, the 780 and ti don't perform the same and that's my point.

 

There are differences between the 660ti, 670 and 760 which is why they aren't rebrands of each other. A rebrand is taking a product and slapping a new product number and different looking cooler on it, where the 760 is a very different card from the 660ti and 670.

Nevermind, you're being too hung up on the wording being "rebrand" to understand the point. like it matters anyway. 

[jezza39]

I sold my MSI Power Edition 670 for less than that about 3 months ago Try starting an Ebay auction at $100 and see where you go, there is next to no point for a dedicated physx card.

 

670 rebrand =/= 760. 760 has less cores

Do you still have the stock cooler? I just sold my 670 for $202 on ebay a few days ago.

With a waterblock + fittings, $250 seems like an awesome deal. (Like if my 670 didn't sell, I'd buy it right off you and sli)

[SlaughterSmurf]

Or you could sell for like 200 since it's an old card....

yes, I do have the stock cooler.

yes, I do have the stock cooler.

Have you tried ebay or did you only try craigslist? I don't really trust craigslist for shipping, only local pickups/in person exchanges. So I'm not too sure if it's a good place to sell graphics cards or you just might not be getting enough exposure in your area.
