Asus Strix RX480 8gb value?

[oscyjack53]

I'm looking to upgrade my GPU for gaming a bit. I was going to crossfire this card with a twin, but the prices seem to have gone quite high. I'm curious to know if AMD cards are inflated due to mining again, and if so if it might not be a good time to upgrade.

Anyone care to comment? If it is a time of price inflation, I plan to go to nvidia for some more FPS and hopefully sell my card here on the classifieds or trade someone for their nvidia also on the classifieds.

Thanks for any answers, advice.

Card prices are out of control , not a good time to upgrade.

Looks like the 8GB 480s are selling for a bit over $400 currently on ebay. But all the card prices are inflated, so unless you were going to wait to upgrade its not a good time.

For instance when eth first skyrocketed, I sold my RX 480 for $400, and bought a GTX 1080 for $475. But this was before all this crypto stuff went crazy.

I got a GTX 980ti hybrid from a buddy. Would you all agree it is an upgrade from the rx480 in relation to gaming?

This should allow me to now sell my rx480 .
