you think i should pay $200 more for those eh? that 1660s was supposed to be 300ish. i could always get it later on or upgrade to something better in a few years

that powercolor one is sealed still for 200. thinking of getting that unless you guys are really against it


ye 1660s is around ~300 + taxes
1070ti is like 30% better, but older/used for $400 not bad.

powercolor is like a lower tier brand, like zotac for nvidia cards. However i don't have anything against them, they're just budget cards anyway. I used to have power color HD 6990 long ass time ago, cuz it was much cheaper than the popular brands, and it worked/no problems.
It's the fact that it's 570 and you're paying $200+ for is the problem lol

400 for it is already not bad, it's also asus strix.
1660s is like 350ish with taxes, it's just new but still 30% weaker than 1070ti.
try 375? but idk if that will make that nerd QQ lowball and cry

Yeah typically if you can find the cheapest card sold on ebay in the past week or so and use it as a point of reference you can usually negotiate down to that price, hitting them with the ol "See it went for this much, I can do the same in cash today." and I have had some good luck with this.
just sort by Sold/Completed listings for the card you want.

Or bring up the fact that it was a mining card and lowball them.
