    That might scare off some buyers.

    I'm willing to drop my price to R1700.
    I hope I can get it sold, because I actually want to get another GTX460 to run SLI for Battlefield 3
    Sorry I made a mistake. It's the NON Ti version at the price. The Ti is somewhere around the R2800 mark.

    I do apologize for giving false hope.

    Mass09, I get your point. I got this card from a friend, but I'd rather use my GTX460 (planning on getting another one and SLI them) and the 4870X2 doesn't fit in my old pc( my wifes pc now) The case is too small and 450W psu wont even start the baby up. In my experience, the only time I ever had problems with drivers or glitches in games, it were with ATI cards. From my 9550SE, 9600Pro, HD4850(just failed after 2 year. But non of my Nvidia cards ever had problems. So I have probably become a Nvidia fanboy because of that.

    I also used to be a strictly Nvidia kind of guy. That is until I got my AMD 6850, I was pleasantly surprised. It's probably best to always shop around for a card with the best price/performance ratio... But ya, if you have a unpleasant past with a certain brand, perhaps changing brands isn't such a bad idea.

    I buy whatever works well.

    I had 2 x 575's (570's with a 580 BIOS).

    They ran beautifully. However, I had overheating issues. So I switched back to AMD. Running a 3 GPU system is the best thing ever.

    Wow nice. I'm actually considering selling my GTX460 as well and getting a new GTX560Ti, but is it worth the 30% increase in performance?

    At MOST, you will get R1000 for that, if you are lucky.

    I agree here. The most you should get is R1000 anything more and the person buying it is very stupid and you are very lucky and ripping him off. The card is 2 years old. Don't think you gonna get it sold.

    Well then I'll just leave it on top of the bin on rubbish removal day next week. Or maybe use it as a doorstop? Any other uses for this apparently worthless card?

    Thanks for nothing guys.

    It's not worthless.. It's just not as valuable as you think in terms of currency.

    Just for laughs :
