Question Should I sell my GTX 1060 or RX580?

[launcht]

I have an EVGA SSC 1060 and an MSI gaming x 580 that I want to sell but the prices I could find are all over the place. The 580 was used for mining but I experienced any problems with it and the 1060 was used for moderate gaming and hasn't seen much overclocking. Any help?

Performance, in Theory, never degrades regardless of how old or how much of a load it has undergone, but never the less when people hear “data mining” they imagine it being used for hours in end for months. Which would indeed prompt they to think it should be cheaper.

It’s not unreasonable to think that way because the performance will never decrease, but it will shorten its life. Cards that reach towards the end of their life cycle will experience problems in hardware.

In all honesty you probably won’t make more than 75 of 100 dollars. I’ve seen on eBay, people who think they can sell their used items for 90% of the original price, which is most people on eBay, (you’d probably make more off the GTX 1060.)

You shouldn’t look at as though you’re trying to make money, but you should look at it as though you’re trying cut loses for the money you’ve spent on the cards. Me personally I would sell the RX 560, as it’s only purpose was to make money off bit coin mining and keep the GTX 1060.

People generally are less willing to buy cards used for mining, most miners dont treat the cards well (some do, and those cards are fine to buy). But people generally wont take the risk.

Go to ebay and find your cards in used condition.
Filter on completed auctions and you will see the actual selling price in green.

When selling, describe your items accurately.
Not overclocked is a plus.
Working correctly is a plus.
Previous mining use is a negative.
