[WTS] Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 GPU Card

[professorY]

Specs here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414

Card is brand new but has been opened. I ordered three, opened them and then realized that I can only run two with my PSU, so I'm looking to sell this one. The two identical cards I am running each pull a consistent 615 kH/s (scrypt) or 610+ MH/s (SHA-256) and sit at about 73-76°C.

I paid $400 for this card including shipping just two weeks ago. I'm asking BTC 2.5 which will include shipping and tracking (North America only -- if outside N.A., I will ship to you but you will be responsible for shipping costs).

More than happy to use escrow.

I've only been a member of the forum here for a short time but I have a 100% positive EBay seller rating going back almost a decade that I can show you if you'd like to send me a PM.

Thanks!

Not trying to get on you, but why did you not check into your PSU beforehand?

Depedning on your motherboard and cpu, you can run 4x7950s on a nice 950w (bare minimum 950w) PSU from PC Power & Cooling and they run >$150

Fair question. I just built the computer and put in an 850, thinking I was only going to use two 7950's. I ordered three in case one didn't work so I wouldn't have to wait for a re-ship (Newegg is SUPER slow to Canada, even using the .ca site, as I did).

Yes, I could upgrade the PSU (and probably will if I can't sell the extra card). Just seems like a waste since I just bought the 850 a month ago.

PM me if you accept amazon payments.

PM me if you accept amazon payments.

I do not, sorry. They are not available to Canadians.

Undervolt your cards and you'll be able to run 3 cards on that 850 watt PSU.

The Gigabyte 7950's are voltage locked unfortunately.

No. I read up on it and it made me nervous lol.

Ah, its quite painless really.  I've flashed every one of my cards (although mine have dual bios).  A few versions of the reference 7950 bioses wouldn't allow my cards to boot, but all I did was use a secondary card to boot with and reflashed the old bios (be sure to backup your stock bios).  Here's a guide on what looks to be the same card you're selling:

Awesome. Thanks for the info! I think I'll try that on the two I'm currently using.

Sure, np....if it works you can keep that third card and you'll probably pay it off in a couple months.  Actually, the power savings on all 3 cards will be the biggest advantage.

Instead of trying to pawn it off, just claim its defective to newegg and ask for refund.  They will cover shipping and refund you in full ...

They'll just sell it again for full price.
