Do you guys think I should sell my GTX 760 for a 280X . I brought my GTX 760 at $400 and the guy offered $350. And a R9 280X in Singapore cost about $450-490 . I also have extra cash of $100 now. So that means if I sell my card I will be able to get a 280X . And also I like GeForce experience more than AMD approach of it . But mantle is also coming . I am pretty sure that I will not upgrade to a G SYNC monitor any time soon . And I mostly play BF4 and LOL . So do you guys think that I should sell my GTX760 ? And also my GTX 760 is 2 months old .

Yep. I'm also waiting for aftermarket 290s to arrive in SLS.

The 280X can make $150 per month mining while you're not using the computer.

and use $160 of electricity

Finally my Santa hat doesn't look out of place
