Should I sell my GTX 1060?

[Dim5678]

I am currently running a EVGA GTX 1060 FTW+ DT, and I got it for $269.99 ($239.99 after rebates). I have been running it for about 2 weeks, and I was looking around ebay when I found out that they are selling for around 400 dollars. Question is: should I sell mine? I have all of the original packaging, accessories and stuff, and I am planning to get a used GT210 to keep my pc running until the entire grahpics card shortage thing is over, then spend it on a RX 580 or maybe even a Vega. 

 

Should I do it? Thanks.

If you're fine with being out a GPU for a while then go for it.

[minibois]

RX 580 would be a sidegrade, plus you can't get them at all at most places.

[Zando_]

Yup. Sell it for $375-$400, and don't back down on the price. If you sell it, you have a nice bump towards a new GPU. If you don't, well, you didn't lose anything.

Can you afford a 1080? If you can, go for it. If you can't, don't.

Yes, but what if he has a bad CPU? Bottleneck could happen but if he can afford a 1080 or even a 1070 he should once he sells the 1060.

As long as he has an i5 current- or last-gen or higher, he should be fine with a 1080.

 

His profile says he has a 1600X.

I indeed have a 1600x. 

Thing is, I have this monitor that supports freesync. I also find screen tearing extremely annoying. I was originally planning to get an Rx 580, but I was forced to go to a 1060 due to the etherium rush. So I'm not even going to consider another Nvidia card if I'm going to sell the 1060. The ideal card will be the cheapest vega once it comes out.

What location are you? I have one too and wasn't aware of the shortage... i might sell it also.

Pennsylvania, US

No, keep it. GTX 1060 doesn't go for a good price, like Polaris.

 

Keep it untill vega comes out, and then switch, if you have a Freesync Monitor.

I was looking on ebay also and i bought it for 300 in march. now its like 400. i think im gonna sell it...i still have the original packaging for it.

 

[SteveGrabowski0]

I would sell a 1060 in a second for $400. I wish 970s were in that kind of demand.

Sell the 1060 and get vega (1070 equivalent one) for 400

should have set the bid to 1 or 2 days (depending on shipping and handling prep). most of the time people just mass-bid at the last second 

[Dim5678]

I need time to order the low end card first so I can continue using my PC

[uncfan07]

Cancel and relist for 3 days

Ah. I didn't see his profile. He should be fine then and a 1080 would be a pretty big upgrade!

[Dim5678]

Is $350 a good starting price for the card? How much would I probably sell it for?
