I listed my cards on craigslist for sale but the market seem to have no demands for these GPUs anymore. What are you guys doing with it?

Mining altcoins?

Collecting dust until I can get around to selling them.

Don't have the desire to bother with altcoin mining. It seems like there is a new altcoin springing up every day. Way too volatile and fragmented to hold my interest.

Mining Litecoin

I was mining litecoin, but I seem to be making >%10 more(In BTC terms) mining multiple altcoins via multipool.us

GAMING :D
and mining litecoin/feathercoin

At the mo I'm redeeming CoinLab loyalty points, and that will probably carry on for a good month or so. In the meantime I shall check out these newfangled altcoins and these pools and coinhopping software and so on, in case there's a chance I can get more than electricity costs from such adventures.

After all that's done I shall attempt to flog them. Most of them are 5970s, and yochdog recently auctioned four off here for BTC1.15 each, and they can still get 150 quid on ebay with a bit of luck. So there's some hope for them yet.

Using GPUs on scrypt mining.

Mining multiple scrypt coins on a "most profitable" rotation on Hash Cows. Auto rotate, trade and payout in BTC with VARDIFF.

Used to be on The Middlecoin pool which is similar (auto rotate coins, trade, and payout in BTC) but lacked both variable difficulty and the ability to track workers, and less attentive to pool members' suggestions.

Before that, was mining straight Litecoin

Enjoying playing games  :D

My 7950/7970 GPUs are staying idle ever since my cost for hosting them became too high. May consider selling them when the market becomes good.

They are not dedicated mining devices though (they were purchased for high-performance servers, but the project was abandoned later. We later did casual mining for a limited time before shutting them down due to cost.)

I sold mine last month.  Sold them for the same I bought them for 6 months previous (Gigabyte 7950 Windforce X3).

Gaming.
It is fun.

Yup, agreed

I sold them all and bought real graphics cards for gaming. got 2x gtx titans and a 4k monitor now.

I sold all but 2 x 7950's.  Now I have a deadly gaming system which is cool.  But I'm gonna be mining with the cards in about another month, when it gets colder. Basically free heat for my small apartment, which is nice.

Go buy GTA V and play it with them :)

I wish man :)   PC version of GTA V  is probably 1.5 years off of or more.

FUCK GAMESTOP  I bought GTAV and got an email from them like 4 days later Trade in your GTAV  $30 Guaranteed...fuck gs.

Training to get the Guiness Book World Record for throwing a graphic card on the longest distance.

I'm pointing 4 x 7950's at middlecoin.com and about 4.5GH of block eruptors at a bitcoin pool. 
I'm seeing twice the daily reward with the GPUs than I am with the ASICs.

Either way, the GPUs are going to have to shut down soon.

Mine LTC, convert LTC into BTC.

nah free heat for the winter... :)

Mining alt-coins, of course.

No mining, currently eating dust, and when I have time, I play some games with friends.

Trying to find a buyer for my GPU on Amazon.co.uk as trades on here carry too much risk for my liking (payments are not reversible/unclear method on how to access escrow here for me as there's no single point of call like I'm used to with my bank/PayPal).

Things I've considered/tried (seemed to be no use now):
1.Mine LTC until the electric bill cost more than what I was making
2.Password recovery to access some old archives I forgot about (they were made and password protected back in 2003 but lost the passwords and wanted to know what's in them)-Stopped as the estimate told me it'd take a year.
3.Room heater (200W card heats up my bedroom in half an hour and much cheaper to run than a fan heater)-Stopped as I saw no point in it anymore/wasn't making me any money.
4.Would have turned my now defunt desktop PC into a hackintosh but it was too hard for me so thought selling off the parts would help me save for a new Mac/help with the move instead.

Anyway just putting it out there as I'm sure some people are interested in what I've done.

I started mining world coin and selling some of it at spot about 2 weeks ago. 400%+ more profitable than BTC at the time. Since then WDC has eaten a zero. I'm fairly happy with the results. Will likely sell them to some kid later on.

Still mining non stop on alt-coin depending on the profit ratio. Mostly Litecoin, Feathercoin and Novacoin :)

Mining altcoins, with CryptoSwitcher deciding which to mine (currently mining Grandcoin with a 6870 and a 7750).  It also handles trading altcoins to Bitcoin. 

CryptoSwitcher can also be used with ASICs to switch between different SHA-256 coins.  My Jalapeños are currently mining Terracoin. There's usually not nearly as much difference between SHA-256 altcoins and Bitcoin as between scrypt altcoins, but there is still a difference.  Right now, Terracoin mining makes 108% of what you'd make by mining Bitcoin.  Grandcoin, OTOH, currently makes 711%.  That's a pretty potent multiplier; it makes my 470 kH/s of GPU power roughly equivalent to half of a Jalapeño. 

Mining Litecoin, feathercoin, worldcoin and novacoin

I've gotta see videos of that. Whats funny is that could literally be a new world record, Y'know how bizzare a bunch of them are
I wanna see someone just fuckin, Frisby tossing dead gpu's See wich ones are the most durable brand against high velocity impact and friction damage XD

Mining alts, trading mostly for PPC at the moment for long-term storage, with the occasional BTC here and there.

I am buying used reference 7970s at $250/ea shipped to western United States if anyone is interested.

I'd also like to pick up another DirectCU II 7970.
