Ultra Rare MSI GTX 780 TI Lightning Edition found.

Hello all, I need some help. Turns out I have 1 of the 12 of these cards ever released.

 

Is it worth anything? Do people collect them?

 

Thanks for any help!

Probably to both, I would look at Ebay or so to see the price history, maybe do some digging with the ol' search engines.

This should be obvious, but keep in mind that it will likely take some time to sell too, even (or especially) if it's worth more to the right person and you want to make the most money possible. I would also keep the original packaging (if you still have it) and treat it carefully, even put it in a watertight box somewhere while you look up details / put it up for sale.

Sure would be neat if there was something useful here, eh?

I have not a clue how to do this. Is it simple with any risk?

I have never found a case of one being sold. I have no idea of its potential value due to this. It is 100% mint condition, never been used.

There's got to be some tutorial out there. I would assume there to be some risk, but I'm no expert

That will certainly raise its value. You could list it for way too much money and step it down incrementally?

Absolutely no risk since all you are doing is reading the vbios then saving it as a file

 

there should be yt tutorials on how to do this, iirc you can use gpuz to dump vbios

 

Would be interesting for anyone with a 780 lightning to play around with but i dont got one
