Keep GTX 570 Beast or sell and get HD 7950?

Hey guys, After a few months of waiting I've finally received my RMA replacement for a GTX 570 Beast edition, it comes factory overclocked to 841 Core, 1682 Shader and 3960 Mhz Memory so its performance out the box is pretty much at GTX 580 speeds, it also comes with a nice triple slot, dual fan cooler...
The retail price is £340

I haven't opened the box so I could sell it as new but figured I probably won't get £340 for it so if I wanted a HD 7950 I'd have to put some extra money towards it, maybe something like £50

So what would you do? Keep the GTX570 or sell it, cough up £50 and buy the better overclocking HD7950?

Cheers.
 
I think he means used as your GTX 570 will be getting sold on the used market unless you have a shop you can sell it in for 'new'

Even though your card is new, you will only get what the used market is for it, just the way it goes :(

I would sell it if I were you and grab the 7950, its only going to keep going down in value specially when keplar is released and the 'new gen' prices drop.
 
Depends if you want a new card :p

I'd keep it personally, still a great card and shouldn't be struggling especially if its overclocked like that
 
cheapest bog standard 570 on OCUK is £239. I've seen the phantom go on a well known 2nd hand site for £180-£190, I got my standard 570 2nd hand for £160.

Try the members market and hope you can get more than £200 or keep it and see what kepler does to the market ?
