Sell or Keep GTX1080

[seekaliao]

Hi guys, I need a bit of advice. I bought a 2nd hand MSI Sea hawk GTX1080 in early Jan but yet to install it. I am using a custom loop to cool my Gigabyte 290X now so I bought the card thinking of swapping over as an upgrade.

However, due to work commitment and change of interest, I hardly play games now. Have not played any games since I completed Doom.

So I am wondering if I should keep the GTX1080 or just sell it to get back some money.

Rest if the rig:

6700K oc 4.8GHz
Asus Z170 Maximus Gene
2 x 8GB DDR2 2400 oc to 3000
512GB Samsung 950Pro
Seasonic 850W X series PSU

Btw, my monitor is just a normal Philips 23" 1920 x 1080 60Hz monitor. Not those gaming one. Originally plan to upgrade to 1440p but never did.

If you're not using it just sell it now.

Main question would be how much do u expect to get back if u sell. Based on specs, your 290x is sufficient for 1080p gaming already, especially for 60Hz, so just sell ur 1080 if not using

Sell. By the time you need a better GPU, there will be new ones available.

Sell while the price is still ok.

Sell the 290X. Keep the GTX1080.

It's quite clear leh, what would your reasons for keeping it be?

Personally, I would only keep it if I can find a way to use it. Look for a new game to play, etc.

If no interest + rather use the money to spend on other things, might as well sell. Unless I don't need the money, then doesn't matter sell or not.
