So I have 2 295x2's that I'm looking to sell due to endless driver problems that I'm just done dealing with. Ik I'm not gonna come close to making my money back I bought the cards back in early august and am wondering what a for price would be for each card? I also have 2 ekwb nickel acrylic 295x2 water blocks and would like a lightly used price for those. Thanks.

They sell for 1000$ new. Considering you are having major problems why would someone else pay you money to have major problems? What type of problems are you having with the drivers?

You can't be serious.  Hyperthreading is a market joke?

BSOD, black screens, drivers not actually applying after instillation, etc...

Just ask anyone who has bought an AMD GPU :P

Some systems just have issues with the AMD drivers, others have no problems. And when you have issues with AMD drivers, it's not something as easy as reinstalling them like with nvidia. Even doing a complete clean install doesn't guarantee they will work...

The thing is that on someone else's PC they might work completely fine despite OP having issues with them on his PC. It's all about the luck. (this is far more uncommon to happen with nvidia drivers)

Im well aware of the driver issues people have had. I had black screen issues with my first 290 but i found most issues related to black screens are a voltage issue. Under clocking the card or increasing voltage helped. I ended up going through 3 RMA's before i got a card that worked properly.

This is why I avoid headaches and spend excessive amounts of money on nvidia. I would rather spend an extra $200 and have stuff work from the start.

 

Anyway,

you probably paid the full $1500 when you first bought them right? Right now they sell for $1000 new so you just lost at least $1000 :(

I would aim to sell them between $750-900 (each) so you can at least get $50 back

Fun fact: I've never done an RMA in my life. :D

I put them in my loop so I broke the warranty seal

Some companies wont say anything as long as it is back to factory when you send it in. Im sure you have explored all options though.

I just got the overclocking warranty from Intel for 25$. You get 1 CPU replacement no matter how it dies. I am about to push my 4790k untill it blows up. I should make a progress thread lol

The current $1000 price for R9-295x2 is just for promotion, it will go back up imo.
