[PC] Possibly getting GTX Titan & potentially good news for one of you

As some of you (or maybe all) expected, I am looking into getting GTX Titan.

I have fought the devil in me for a long time, and I have pretty much lost it. LoL

Since I have two 680s at the moment, I am willing to part with one of them, and "sell" it to one of you guys if needed.

I am not actually trying to make money off of it anyway, so in actuality I will be probably just be asking for the shipping (international, so it might not be cheap), and if I do make a profit off of it, then it will be going towards the site maintenance (aka Epyk gets some freebie).

I have NO idea what the second hand price of it at the moment, nor the shipping cost at the moment, so I need a little more research (or you guys can do it for me? LoL).

Well, just wanted to put out my thoughts.

EDIT: List
Sym - EVGA GTX 580
Tom - i5 2500k (OC'd 4.5) & 560 ti
Ars Diaboli - 660ti

i think Sym is looking for a replacement card, cant remember if he has replaced his 580 yet.

Well, I assumed that he would be on the priority list due to the situation you described.

Though, he wont be able to cook eggs on his machine anymore. LoL

i would love to have this, but i have a 660 so i'm low priority. i say we have a fight to the death for it.

I have none, gimmie.

Ugh, trying to fight the urge.

TITAN OR GO HOME

680's go for about ~$400 used (more or less depending on what 680 it is), and shipping would be around $80 to $150 depending on what you use. I have been thinking about replacing my 560 ti for a while now.

I actually get my 580 back today from RMA

Heres hoping

I'm using a Ge Force 6600. HA!

Haha they sent me a brand new card

I have HD7950 so I should be good for awhile

Well, lets start compiling the list.

If you would like to get it, post up with your current card.

Current card is EVGA GTX 580

How much you looking to sell for?

As I said, I am only really looking for shipping and handling.

If people are willing to pay closer to used price, then extra goes to site maintenance.

Tom has said around 80~150 for shipping, so I would just say 150 minimum, 400 for used price, so 350'ish for max. For now.

My current card is a 560 ti.

I have a question, what post offices are there in Hong Kong? I could only find one called Hongkong Post and their prices were kinda crazy. Anything 2kg and under costs $55 to ship, while anything over 2kg costs $175 to ship.

that's crazy....although they were cheap things on ebay,some had free shipping for cheap stuff or the shipping was very cheap for little bubble wrap packages

I'm pretty sure UPS is here, as I have received UPS package (delivered by a guy in UPS uniform) for my Astro A40 2013 edition.

DHL is here too.

I just got a package from Hong Kong post for $10...

DHL seems to be the cheapest option at ~$65 (the estimate I got).

Where did you buy it from? I got my prices from their website for shipping just a single item.

Granted they might get some sort of deal. Most of the Hong Kong sellers on eBay seem to have low shipping prices. Especially the one's selling knockoff stuff,

This would be tempting if it would fit in my case as I'm currently looking to get a gpu. Currently rocking integrated graphics. If I remember correctly you havethe ASUS top editions don't you? those are 3 slot aren't they? I can only rock 2.5 slot max.

Yes, its 3 slot card.

damnit! oh well...still really awesome of you to give it away so cheap. Whoever gets it is a lucky bastard!

I expected more people would have wanted my card (well, except for unfortunate Hydra).

So far it's only Sym and Tom it seems.

I am pretty much satisfied with Titan, so I am going to finalize who are on the list soon, so post up.

Also, post up your other major components, like CPU and such, that has impact on performance. I should have asked about this as well, earlier, but I just wasn't thinking. If you have a plan to upgrade a component, you can indicate as well.

Honestly I wont be able to pay for shipping for a little while.....

I have a 2500K at 4.5GHz so I should be fine. I am also kinda surprised more people are not posting.

idk if my brother would want it,but he just has a10-5800k quad core AMD 3.8ghz

A10-5800k does not seem to be enough to pullout the best of my card, unfortunately.

Haha yea thats gonna be a hell of a bottle neck

I'd like to have it to be honest, since I'm planning on eventually getting SLI 680, 780, or 8970, but I have a 660 Ti that works well enough for my current setup, and I would feel bad by taking your card and pay only for the shipping since I'm still poor and can't afford too much <_<

my PC at home has a whopping Q6600 and an HD 3650.
4 GB of RAM too. i think a GTX680 will complement it nicely

unless i can find a way to cram it into my laptop XD

Will bump it a few times to remind people.

Currently 3 people are on the list.

Probably 2~3 more bumps, and decision will be made.

One more bump after this

Last bump

Well, I guess it's among

Sym
Tom
Ars_Diaboli

You can post up here or message me on what you are willing to pay.

Tom has contacted me through message, so I'm still waiting for the other two.

Honestly Im in a rough financial situation right now, so Im gonna say you should give it to one of them\

Thanks for the gesture though

Roger

Then its just Ars left that I need to hear from.

I'm on a similar situation to Sym, and can't really afford more than some $200 at the moment so you're probably better off talking with Tom. Still, it's pretty awesome that you did this

If i had some extra cash right now Id be all over this....

The minimum is 150, and 350 max.

If there will be no more bids for it, then its going to Tom automatically.

No more bids from me, can't afford much at the moment. Don't know if Sym changed his tune.

Ok.

I think Sym is not going to as well.

I am going to the DHL and check out some options.

I could potentially do this in a few weeks.....since I just got work again

But I dont think you wanna wait that long haha

I say let Tom have it?

Technically, its not really urgent on me at all.

As I said, I am not in need of cash, which I'm pretty sure most of you already figured.

If Tom is willing to wait for you, then I'm fine with that. But if not, thats cool too. He does have right for it at the moment.

Yea talk to TOm about it and let me know

If he doesn't take it Ill jump on it in a few weeks

If anything, I might just give away second set I have, but lets see.
