Old GTX 260?

[EmpiracyRyNiX]

I have an old Asus GTX 260 that I have been running for many years and now I plan to upgrade soon. I want to sell this but i don't think anyone will buy. Do you guys have any creative ideas/projects that I can use it for?

This is the specific model I have: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ENGTX260HTDP896M/

Ehhh back up GPU? In case you need on for troubleshooting...? Idk I'm not very creative 

 

Oh and they sell for around 75 USD on amazon. In case you were wondering.

It should sell for around $40 on ebay.  People still want them for retro boxes and SLI setups.   I personally use a GTX 260 for CUDA / PhysX

Even if you don't think someone would buy it, put the thing for sale. Who knows, you might get lucky (that's what I did with an old HD 6670 of mine)

 

But in the mean time, you could help us over at PrimeGrid. Put the card on a spare slot in your mobo and start contributing. In particular, I recommend Manual Sieve; in terms of math, properly using a Gtx 260 can do even more processing than incorrectly using a mighty Titan X!

 

If feel up to it, hit me up and I'll guide you through the process.

first off HOLY $#!t A 260 INTEL INTEGRATED GRAPHICS RIVAL THAT but anyways well here are some ideas 

- Cryptocurrency Mining

- DIY Household Project (Such as a NAS)

- Backup Computer 

- Find a retro PC shop and sell it (they'll probably give you $20 maybe $30)

- Donate it to a scrap shop 

- Try and sell it on ebay (Afterall people like retro stuff and you could probably gross $20 to $40)

- Display (hey afterall your card has a sexy lady on it  )

- Throw it at a bird

- Use it as expensive toilet paper (be careful you'll probably cut your ass if your not careful)

- Abandon it

- Recycle it (Places such as Best Buy has a e-recycle bin)
