Selling My Radeon RX 480, What to Do with the Profits?

eddieone

So I bought a Radeon RX 480 today. I mostly got it to play Doom as I have a 1 gb card now. I had to get the 4 gb because they were selling like hot cakes. I could sell it on Ebay for a small profit. I was thinking, I could buy like 6 toasters from Walmart and toast a loaf all at once. What are some other ways I could spend the profits? I'm weighing my options here.

I like the toaster option

another idea is to get a bunch of GTX 480s and stick them in a metal box for even better toasting potential

Nahh, going to keep my 290X until It can't keep up with games anymore, then when it can't, I will switch to Nvidia and nail the 290X to the wall.

I will buy you a magic wand, so you don't get your panties in a bunch. :o

 

I do like the toast option still. I might open a toast shop and charge $4 a slice. Maybe setup some iphone chargers to attract the hipsters.

I realize that this is completely beside the point, but...

Please, please, never specify a GPU by its RAM capacity. It's like me saying I have a 16GB PC.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

-Because you actually care if it makes sense.
