Title: [WTB] R9 290X - MSI, Gigabyte, Asus
Post by: ChanceCoats123 on May 18, 2016, 08:21:55 AM
As the title states, I'm looking to grab another 290X. I'm pretty much only looking for MSI, Gigabyte or Asus cards, but will entertain offers for other brands. I just bought a new free sync 1440p monitor and would like to add a second 290X to get a bit of extra performance until the next GPUs from AMD and Nvidia are available.

Escrow will likely be used (unless you send first), and I will cover the fees.

Comment or PM with offers. I'll be really interested if the price is right.

Geeze, is everyone mining ETH with their 290x cards or something? Those almost 300W cards can't be good in terms of energy efficiency... Just sell one to me instead!  ;D

 Nobody is selling any GPUs because they are very profitable at the moment.

Efficiency doesn't matter at the moment because its makes a few times over most people's electricity rate anyways.

You can probably buy a brand new 390 for a similar price as used at your local micro center or newegg.
