Move wife to AMD 6600 from her Radeon 7?

[Vince]

Quick question - Thought my old R7 was dying as the wifes machine kept crashing so I grabbed in a new power supply and a 6600 gpu. Swapped over the power supply and the machine is absolutely fine so I now have a 6600 sitting here. Big question is, is it worth the swapping her from the Radeon 7 to the 6600 or should I just send the 6600 back? On the fence as it seems the Radeon 7 still holds some good value so could likely get the money back that I spent on the 6600 if I sell the 7.

Decisions, what would you do?

you answered your own question lol - still holds value sell it

Well I just been having a look and the R7 is a fair chunk better than the 6600 seemingly... the 6600 I think i will send back.

Radeon 7 is still fast the only thing with it is the driver is already on life support.
I think you should sell it while it still hold value.

I think its one of those weird ones that will hold for a while as its one of the fastest supported cards on certain apple systems I think. Seems to still be commanding around the £250 mark. I think it makes sense to swap it out but just perhaps not for a 6600... Ive sent the 6600 back and think ill shell out for something like a 7800xt or something. Or even give her my 6800xt and grab this new 9070 thing... decisions, decisions.
