If I was to sell now it would have been so pointless to buy. I'll be keeping mine all through Pascal I reckon. When the prices really drop I might chuck 2 more in.

I totally disagree with this. I bought the TitanX very cheap and made 90% of my money back. So selling now was the best option for me. Glad I did too The longer I left it the less money I'd make. I had lots of fun with it, but with pascal coming shortly I don't see the need to keep it any longer. I have most of the money waiting for pascal

Born_2_Kill_83 · 25 Nov 2015 at 18:41

What have you replaced it with?

Simon Belmont · 25 Nov 2015 at 19:28

Gigabyte Xtreme 970 to hold me until pascal. It works better then I thought with Asus swift g-sync 1440p. Getting near 60fps on new assassins creed.

dessimpson · 25 Nov 2015 at 20:27

The 970 is a great card for the money.

dessimpson · 26 Nov 2015 at 00:07

I got this last week to replace my 980 branded one. Fortunately I've got a 980 in my other PC. Not got round to fitting it yet.

straxusii · 26 Nov 2015 at 07:42

If you bought a TX in april for 800-900+ you'd have to be mental to sell it now and drop to something like a 970.

A rough look around for rumours on pascal launch date says mid 2016 so even if it's 1st July that's still 7 months away, and we've only had the card for 6 months.

You'll still be able to sell it for a few hundred a month before launch and you will have had another 7 months out of it.

Not to mention nvidia could well repeat the prior 2 launch cycles by launching the mid range part first and calling it x80 (680/980) then launching the full fat part months later.

Radox-0 · 26 Nov 2015 at 09:50

Well I just went the opposite way and sold my second Titan X. It was the one with all the stripped screws (first time mistakes

). Alas tried every method getting them off so just made it worse. Would have kept it otherwise considering, but still got a reasonable price on it, more then 980Ti's brand new.

Not the biggest of issues as my remaining Titan X can overclock much higher and will be added to the loop now. For 3440 x 1440 a single card seems to handle it fine. Bring on Pascal I guess

Not mental at all mate. I bought the Titan X for £749 brand new. Sold it for £680. Come this spring Titan X will be near worthless if your trying to sell them that is. Saving that money for new pascal., Could care less for Pascal Titan. Just looking for middle of the road pascal which should beat current Titan X by at least 30% to 40% I reckon. I'm hearing late march early april. I very much doubt Nvidia will wait that long to release pascal. My 970 was a gift. I made out like a bandit

It's just the AIO. I bought the Titans months ago

Ayahuasca · 27 Nov 2015 at 08:15

Who on earth paid 680 for it from you?

They go for around 550 on the MM.

clone · 27 Nov 2015 at 08:29

I'm more than happy to keep my Titan X sc for a good few years to come as the games I play maxed out on my MG279Q Run so buttery smooth,and now I've installed the EVGA hybrid kit I can start overclocking it.

You didn't read my post, I said if you bought it for £800-£900+

I've kept an eye on second hand titan x and you don't clear 680 after all fees unless you get very lucky, that price is the exception not the rule.

Simon Belmont said:

That's a very silly thing to say, of course they won't be near worthless then.

Simon Belmont said:

For one they have no option but to wait until Pascal is ready and my quick google says mid next year, also until AMD have a credible alternative they will sit on Pascal selling 980Tis like hot cakes until they have to release it.

I find OCUK forum members nit pick over everything any one says. This is no different. Think what you will. You don't need to justify anything to me or yourself.

dessimpson · 27 Nov 2015 at 20:03

Unless there's a huge improvement, I'll be keeping my Titans for another year, and by the time I do upgrade they might not be worth much, but I'll have had my enjoyment out of them for 2 years or so.

If I do get a Pascal card it will be when they've been out for a while and the prices have settled down too.

After ebay fees you're probably close to 600 though, still £150 loss and you'll probably lose that again by the time pascal comes round and you sell your 970

£620 actually

I'll keep the 970 as back up.
