Meanwhile, it sounds like Intel’s second foray into graphics cards is doomed just as its first foray was

4713

I read @Alistair’s post as the card making the room warm more than having issues with overheating.

4714

Haha my 1070 already is quite adept at making the office into a sauna. I wonder what the 3080 is going to do to it ;)

4715

Right, heatwave outside and in… Need to play something set in a jungle.

4716

Sold my 2080 Ti for $1200 today. I’m okay with playing Slay the Spire until the 3080 Ti is released.

4717

Dang. That’s awesome @Penny_Dreadful. You might be able to break even in September.

4718

It is great what people are getting back from the 2080ti cards. I wonder though why the people buying them just don’t wait for the next round to ship at this point.

4719

Curious where you guys are selling online? I’m wonder what I can get something for my (checks calendar) 2015 Titan X.

4720

I guess i should sell my 1080 vanilla just because?

4721

I was curious as well. I honestly never sell anything online, it seems like a big hassle and/or susceptible to scams, but I’m probably way off base.

4722

I always sell on eBay. Haven’t been scammed in the 20 years of selling and buying on there, but that’s always a risk.

4723

Next-gen will hopefully offer much better performance for less money, so they can trade-up and keep cash in their pockets or get a faster card for that same amount.

4724

The people that are buying the 2080ti cards now?

4725

Oh, I misread your post. I have no clue why anyone would buy a 2080ti for $900+ now. I’d say $700 or so would be attractive.

4726

I’m glad that’s worked out for you but man I would be afraid to sell anything I cared about on eBay. They are so buyer centric and I’ve read story after story of sellers getting ripped off

4727

I sold for a decade-plus on eBay with no issue, so I trusted people. Then someone made a $275 purchase from me a few years ago, and once I shipped it they cancelled the PayPal payment. PayPal did nothing because I should have waited for the PayPal payment to clear before shipping – but I’d gone ahead and shipped right away many times before without being burned.

And I couldn’t even leave them a negative rating, due to the way eBay screwed up their buyer ratings a number of years back.

4728

My brain works in funny ways. The fact that some jackass pulled off a scummy scam like that would bother me far more than the $275. It’s dumb and doesn’t make any rational sense, but i never end up selling anything on Ebay and these things just end up sitting at my house, unused and eventually disposed of, because I don’t want to deal with it.

Somehow, getting $0 by never selling anything is somehow better than selling many things successfully but having the occasional jackass scam something off of me. :)

4729

Yeah, I had a similar experience where a buyer fabricated a claim about the item being damaged. eBay took their side and allowed a return for refund, and they kept the working item and sent back a broken one that they must have already had. Wasn’t a lot of money, but still, between that risk and the ever-increasing fees, I try to go elsewhere whenever possible.

4730

Yep, there’s no way to restrict bidders to those with a high rating, as you noted eBay is very buyer-centric.

The trading forums on the old hardware sites were good place to go. Probably only HardOCP/Forum is really super active anymore
