i have been trying to sell my 270x over the last few days simply because i need the money and if i do obviously id need a temp card, so im looking back at the green side.

i know not to get another 560 SC even 2gb version as it wont have the grunt, though i think they are selling like half what i paid for my 1gb version now :rolleyes: and id only be looking around £40 max to spend.

How much you sell the 270 is the point because with the much faster 470 & 460 imminent you will struggle to sell it for something more than 60. And you cannot find anything remotely as fast as the 270 for less money. AMD APUs are faster than the sub 50range cards.
 
I would think you won't get much more than £40 for a 270 so maybe it won't be a good idea at all. Having said that I'll be selling my old GTX 660 soon and was thinking I won't get much more than £40 for that either.
 
As others have said I think you'll struggle to get much more than £40 for the 270x in the first place. Add on postage and time cost and it's not worth it at all.

Is using integrated graphics an option?
 
thanks for replies.

i know this shop i use has dropped the price of the 270x from £98 down to now £65 i noticed lol(got my card in march at which point they were selling over 90 in places) i have been trying to sell it for £70-75 or just over £80 with postage on the zon simply because it has the box and all the packaging etc and its pretty much perfect plus what ive seen others advertise them for, however if i have to stoop lower than 60 then not worth it, ill just keep trying to sell other stuff lol.


oh and just to point out, unless i could get a 570/580/660/670 i wasnt going to be looking for a like for like card certainly not at the amount id pay, i just get confused sometimes by what is a severe downgrade and what is only a minor and obviously my 270x was a big up from the 560 SC i had.
