suggestions and help selling rx480 + doubts about gtx 1660 ti models

Orcasete

hello guys, i would like your opinion about my rx480 i'm selling on my country (Portugal) 2nd hand market for about 100€, i bought it in may 2016 and other rx 480s are going for more than mine ... what do you think about the price for a 3 year old card ? i regularly clean my pc and recently changed the thermal paste on the card.

 

other question ... whats the differences on these 2 graphics cards

i know aorus is the gaming brand from gigabyte ... but they seem to have the same fans and similar desing ... so i expect them to perform the same or almost the same in regarding thermals, am i right ?

The two 1660tis will more than likely have around the same temps, however the Aorus has slightly faster stock and boost speeds and can probably be overclocked better.

what will you be using it for gaming etc also if i were this would be a better choice a bit more expensive though https://www.amazon.es/Gigabyte-Technology-GeForce-GV-N2060GAMINGOC-Tarjeta/dp/B07P1XJVK6/ref=sr_1_51?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=2060&qid=1566247573&s=gateway&sr=8-51

i preffer a gtx 1660 ti because of my budget... i'm really limited and i'm waiting for the gigabyte or msi card drops near 300€ (saw it at that price once and i'm expecting it again because of the rx 5700 launch)

i dont mind about that since i only take things apart when they are out of warranty, when something happens during warranty period i get them to the store and fix it

 

thanks for your answers!

 

so you dont think a jump from a rx480 to a 1660ti inst worth it ? the most important for me is noise and temps since my rx480 is a bit loud and hot for my taste, great card tho...
