Posted January 15, 2015 I am just curious as to what you people think 2 x 6970 cards are worth? Also what is the max you would pay for them? Some guy in our local classifieds is selling them for $200 total. Also would an e5200 overclocked to the max bottleneck 2 x 6970s? Too many ****ing games!

Posted January 15, 2015 6970 is similar to a 7870 which is a 270x....270x sell for 150. I would probably pay like 100-140 for a 6970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 15, 2015 I would pay $300 for new ones and $175-$215 for used ones. The reason is because crossfire 6970's outperform a 290X (I realize that's a 6990, but it's mostly the same) minus the newer features and VRAM. Then consider heat/power usage. So about that much myself. † Christian Member † For my pertinent links to guides, reviews, and anything similar, go here, and look under the spoiler labeled such.

Posted January 15, 2015 $90-$120 USD as it's a older card that is not very power efficient and also doesn't support mantle I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So about that much myself. Shouldn't use hwcompare to compare GPUs if they don't have actual in-game benchmarks for the combination. Not saying that 6990 < 290X, but just pointing it out as if there's no benchmarks then hwcompare just compares specs on paper. "Rawr XD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 15, 2015 Dunno where you'd buy the new, but, second hand it depends on use. Ex mining/folding maybe 25 all up. Other usage maybe 150-200. Thats what they seemed to be priced around as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-Of-2-SAPPHIRE-AMD-Radeon-HD6970-2GB-256-Bit-GDDR5-PCI-E-X-16-Graphic-Card-/311254531273?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4878373cc9 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-AMD-Radeon-HD-6950-21188-00-40R-Shaders-Unlocked-to-6970-/301480623233?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item4631a53c81 Beneath this mask there is more than flesh.

Posted January 15, 2015 Author They sell on hardwareswap for 60-70 ea @DeViLzzz This thread shows just how little LTT people know about the used hardware market and why the classifieds are a terrible place to buy from In regards to hardwareswap I have never heard of it and it probably is one of those sites where there is an honor system and you could end up losing your shirt after you send the money or the product. If that is not so then cool. Update: Checked it out. LOL! It is reddit and while they have a rating system no guarantee sellers are going to honor anything still. I do like at least though I have a place to check for pricing but no way am I going to ship off cards to anyone on there. LOL Too many ****ing games!

That's why there's stuff like PayPal buyer protection and you pay attention to who you sell with. A lot more expensive stuff then your 6970 is bought and sold everyday. It is by far the best place to buy and sell used hardware. Unless you deal in person and want to risk just getting stabbed then there's no other good option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you deal in person and want to risk just getting stabbed then there's no other good option I'd rather buy in person and there are safe ways of doing that. I have never had a live transaction go poorly. As for PayPal buyer protection I'd have to look closer at what their policies are for sales between just regular people but will look at some point. Still I will take a face to face transaction every single time over dealing with some stranger over the net totally for the transaction sending money to God knows who. Too many ****ing games!

Posted January 16, 2015 Well I just got one for 50$ (includes shipping) off of ebay. So I would say if you look for it you can get some good deals on some used parts.Also, the 6950 can be essentially upgraded to a 6970 so if you see that you can get two of those as wells.

Posted January 16, 2015 Definitely worth $100 each if they have decent coolers. I am addicted to building gaming PCs but I don't have a great reason to stop...yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
