OLD SAPPHIRE GPU

[Alexander Vourazanis]

So long story short my current system is at it follows:

CPU AMD FX 6300 OC 4.4GHZ
GPU Sapphire Radeon R9 270 OC DUAL-X
RAM Corsair Vengeance 2x4 (8GB) 1666MHZ
PSU Corsair CX 550W 80+ Bronze
MOBO ASRock 970m pro3

 

So Im looking to sell my gpu, since I cant find it online I dont know how much to give it away for (purchased at 2015 Pc as a whole so there is no warranty or box) and its in a pretty good condition and I will replace it with a gigabyte GTX 1060 but I dont know which is better a 3gb one or the 6gb v because Im looking for it to last for some years atleast 2 (I play games such as csgo,bf1,bf4,codww2) etc basically all the new high end games and I need some good opinions on How much should I sell my gpu, gtx 1060 3gb or 6gb? and if its better to sell cpu and mobo + cooler and get new cpu and mobo + cooler and stick with my current gpu and upgrade it later on. 

 

-thanks, alex

Saw a few sapphires sell for around £70 but this may be different now, i currently have an fx 6300 and a gtx 1060 6gb and i run most games decently (i played the ww2 beta but i didn't run it very well, but bf4, bf1 and csgo will run fine), so in my opinion id go for the 1060 6gb now and upgrade the cpu and mobo later

ww2 didnt run very well" could you be a little bit more specific? which graphic settings and at what fps? + in my country greece a 1060 6gb v is 350 eu and a 3gb is 270 so there is a huge price gap

ah sorry in the beta it ran at low setting bouncing between 20 and 30 fps, i also have 8GB ram but that was the beta so it might run better now, the prices increased pretty big with the 1060's, i got mine for £220 a while back, my friend has the 3gb version and he doesn't have any problems running games so it may be better to buy the 3 gig, id suggest looking at benchmarks with an fx 6300 and a gtx 1060 3gb and then looking at benchmarks with your r9 270 and the processor you wish to upgrade to, which will help with your decision
