Hi chaps,

Bit of advice needed. I currently have the following card:

MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **NEW REVISION**

I think I paid around £160 for it at the time. It's served me well but something caught my eye recently, they are selling for £230 on ebay...because they are good for mining cryptocurrencies. Now, I still have all the original packaging etc, so selling wouldn't be too bothersome.

Is it worth selling this and picking up a newer/better card with the profits? (assuming I can sell for £230). If so, which card?

Thanks
 
You won't get £230 for it.

You can buy 280X's for that money and they're faster.

Check eBay completed listings, several sold for 230.

Nah, it's not that I'm trying to make a profit, it's just I'm aware that lots of new cards have come out since I bought, and wondered if I could sell and get more bang for my buck! Sounds like it's not really worth it though?
