Hello. Should i sell one of my gtx 970 (have 2) for say 15-16k.. (Thx for those miners im getting that quote) & get a used zotac 1080 say more then 3yrs warranty left for 40k..
Is it worth it.. Or just sell one card keep the cash and buy later..
Or dont sell/buy right now at all..

None except Overwatch & Rocket league tbh..

If by selling your 970s you are getting the exact amount to buy a new 1080, get it. Or you can get a 1070 and save money.

New ones are too pricey these days... So used with warranty is only choice.. New 1070s are over 40-45k.. 1080s over 50k.. Thx to mining craze..

Mining hasn't affected 1080. Prices of 1070s got affected recently.

If you get at least 35k for both then only sell your GTX970s to buy a GTX1080. OK.

Not a good time to purchase any PC components.
