GPU Replacement / Price Depreciation

[thetwo4th]

Hey guys. So I joined the PC master race and built my very first PC last month. My GPU was the Asus 1070 FE. Now i've seen the aftermarket cards and i wish i'd waited for them before buying (stupid decision i know). Lol. Anyway. I am considering on replacing mine with the MSI Gaming X card. My question is if I am going to sell my 1070 FE card how much would it cost now vs the price when i first bought it? It costed me SAR 2590 (USD 690.60) and i bought it last month on June 28.

 

**Also is the performance difference that big or is it negligible?**

 

Thanks for your feedback guys.

The performance difference is negligible. The gains you'll see from an aftermarket such as the Gaming X are lower temps and noise.

Ehhhhhhh. The performance difference is very minimal.

Ohh I see, but won't temps trigger thermal throttling though? That's what I am worried about. Cause usually the temps on my card reaches around ~75°C

I doubt you'll see thermal throttling at those temperatures. 75C is actually pretty good considering it's a reference card.

Well you are most likely looking at around 200$ pure waste.

It will be hard to find someone who will want to buy it.

 

Performance difference won't be big, but temps and noise level should be better.

Is it worth that much to you? Only you can answer that.
