Side-grade to an RX 6700 XT from 3060 Ti plus cash?

[Acid419]

I am in a bit of indecision on this, and find it hard to decide upon what to do. So I have the option to sell my Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti Aorus Master for somewhere around AU$1,400 (I paid AU$1,000 when I bought the card) and buy a Sapphire RX 6700 XT Nitro+ for AU$1,199. Seemingly the stock of the RX 6700 XT doesn't seem to be nearly as bad within Australia, as many are still in-stock and this one has kept its stock for 2 days from when I saw it. Which option do you think is the best option, either keep my Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti Aorus Master or sell it and gain $200 and change to a Sapphire Nitro+ 6700 XT? Alternatively, I could just sell my graphics card and keep the money until prices settle down so I could afford a 3080/6800, I can survive on a low tier card for a while.

TLDR: Do I sell my 3060 Ti for 6700 XT + $200 my way?

This is a smart move.

Unless you have urgent need for it.

Gaming can wait.

At worst he only gets 200aud.

You basically discribed scalping. Even if it's only once. I wouldn't do it for moral reasons alone. I could literally sell my 3080 for 250%+ of what i paid in september, but then i'd sell my dignity along with it...

I don’t know about where you live but here in Japan GPU stock is starting to recover. Which means that prices are starting to come down.

Yes, I agree it is scalping but when you don't have enough for the high-end cards at their usual prices, I don't find it that bad. Especially since this is a 3060 Ti, not a 3080. I'd certainly be happy if I owned a 3080 myself and wouldn't consider selling it either.

You're basically saying "the end justifies the means". No matter how you look at it, it's scalping. I'd not do it because i would just feel bad about it. But like you see around the world there are enough people that have no problem with taking advantage of other people. It's a sad reality but if you want to do it, realistically there is nothing i can do about it. I just wanted to give my opinion on the matter.
