Posted April 18, 2014 So, I've currently got a HD 7950, and found this GTX 680 on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261447820534?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 If I can get it for below £150, is it worth it if I sell my HD 7950 for more, which I can due to the GPU mining hype at the moment. They still go for about £170+ EDIT: this is just so I can make a little profit. CPU: 5930K @ 4.5GHz | GPU: Zotac GTX 980Ti AMP!

Posted April 18, 2014 Nice 680 but the ad doesn 't say buy now so the bids will go higher. These cards go for the between 200-300 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 18, 2014 It is a good card, though there really is no point in all this hassle for this. If you upgrade, I would probably go for a higher end card. Maybe a 780/R9 290(x). Didn't the GPU mining hype die? Its like 400 something dollars per bitcoin right now. Slowly falling down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 18, 2014 If you can get it for that much its worth getting because the resale value would probably be better than your 7950 after the mining hype gets less. And a bit of extra performance is never bad . EDIT: At the above, GPU mining for bitcoin(SHA265) died a long time ago due to the ASIC's. Its about altcoins like dogecoin(scrypt) and such. And some of them are still profitable to mine with GPU's becausee there are no scrypt ASIC's yet. "Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something."

Posted April 18, 2014 Author Sorry, I needed to clarify, this is purely just to make a profit. I know there will be little to no performance gain. CPU: 5930K @ 4.5GHz | GPU: Zotac GTX 980Ti AMP!
