Considering GPU replacement

I currently have 2x MSI Geforce GTX 560 TIs running in SLI. Any idea what I could get for them if I sell them?

For replacement, I'm considering one of these perhaps:
MSI GTX770 Gaming Twin Frozr IV OC 2GB
MSI GTX770 Lightning Twin Frozr IV 2GB
MSI GTX780 3GB (Although this is a little more expensive than I would like to pay)

Any other recommendations?

I actually prefer MSI because I've been using them for a while now. I've used other cards before and usually they stop working just after the warranty expires. I'll use the new card for my primary monitor used for gaming and get a cheap second card to power my other two monitors.

R1500 (maybe more depending on the availability of GPUs in your area) each on gumtree but it'll take longer to sell

A bit less on a more competitive classifieds like Carbonite (R1300?) but you'll sell them much faster
 
Depending on which model they are, R1500 is the maximum you'd be able to sell them off for. I'd say list them for R1600 each or R1300 each as a bundle. That'll put you at around R3000, money which will obviously go to buying the new hotness.

If you can afford the GTX770 Lightning, get the Lightning. If you can stump up the extra for the GTX780, that's the direct upgrade from your two GTX560 Ti's. Its a really, really good card.
 
Really low stock or no stock on 770 lightnings at the moment.

I agree the 780 is a monster of a card but it does come at a premium price point.
I will crunch some numbers for you and see what I can come up with as well :)

Will drop you a pm later.

As far as 2nd hand pricing goes, 560ti R1300 each and try www.carbonite.co.za
 
Thanks for the feedback.

After further investigation, I think I should only sell one of them en keep the other one to run my 2 secondary monitors.

If anyone is interested in one of these cards, PM me. I'm not in a hurry to upgrade, but if someone is interested, I'll sell the one card and buy the new one.

Thanks... I'll wait for your feedback before deciding
 
I was quite eager to upgrade my 560ti as well because of the new titles coming up next year, but then i decided to put it off till next year, if you can hold out till then i think your going to be happier with what you can get as amd brings out the new hUMA based cards and nvidia is pressured into giving something new as well,the market should get quite intereseting
 
Yeah, my original plan was to maybe sell both my cards and get a new card for around R6k max as well as a cheap card to power my other two monitors. It seems though it would be better to sell only one of my current cards (keep the other one to power secondary monitors) and then buy the bigger (GTX780) card, so I think I'll rather hold off on it for now. With the new car coming, I don't want to make too many big expenses until I know how much my trade-in is going to be.
