So I'd like to upgrade my PC but in an effort to use my pc less I'm thinking about selling my GTX 1070 and replacing it with a GTX 1050 Ti (which I already have) - my card is selling for ~$600 on ebay. I could sell it for that and use the cash later for a GTX 20 series card or just use the money for other things. Good idea? Thoughts?

qυoтe мe pleaѕe!

Me at the Apple store: "So how fast is this little macbook?"

Apple employee: "Cheetah Fast. Lightning Fast. It's Really, really, fast."

Should have sold it a few weeks ago when prices were $750+

 

Prices are tumbling now due to crypto values crashing.

Dang, wish I had realized then. I have been relatively inactive lately in terms of checking prices of things and watching cryptos - not that interesting to me

Well if you still want to sell, I'd do it now before prices drop even more.

Considering that Bitcoin rose from $6.1K to $9.3K in the last week or so and Ethereum went from $590 to $910 in the last 10 days, I wouldn't expect the prices to drop much more.
