Title: WTS Radeon HD 7970 (powercolor) - $100 shipped (to continental 48)
Post by: zvs on August 26, 2014, 04:08:11 AM
$100 shipped is if you just want the card.  This is about $60-$100+ less than the 7970's selling on eBay, because, well, I'd have to list it as 'parts' on eBay. Oh, I'm excluding the person that listed a ton of sapphire 7970 cards in a row, auction style.  that's just an example of someone that doesn't know how to sell stuff properly on eBay (always buy-it-now)

It has a stripped screw that presumably one could fix rather easily with a drill or maybe even some bondo or epoxy.  

I have the box, CD, manual, etc.  The two things I'm not sure of are if it came with a crossfire cable or not (it won't have one if I send the box out), and whether or not I have the original antistatic bag it came in (it'll have one on it regardless, just no clue which bag belongs to which card).

The images (not hard to miss, but just in case, I circled the stripped screw & what I did to "fix" it):

and, yes, it runs fine.  it was my main vid card until I bought my geforce gtx 780.  it has maybe a month or two of 'mining' on it.  i think it maxed out at around 76o or 77oC midday (back in April or so)...  so, no, didn't run it at 80oC + for extended periods (if at all).

I bought it from newegg on 11/30/2013.  It was "open box";

It also doesn't come w/ a backplate, as you can see from those Newegg pics.  Anyway, as soon as I got it, I redid the thermal paste, stripping off that screw in the process (maybe "broke off that screw" is more proper, not sure).

PM me please, don't read this forum regularly.  I'm only interested in shipping to US, alaska & hawaii would cost a bunch more.  I'd want the payment first, before shipping... and no escrow BS

I guess this isn't a great place to list video cards anymore.  =p

I'll give it 24hrs, then I'm going to list it as parts on ebay.   (with $125 buy it now and 'free shipping' probably)
