What to use my old graphics card for?

[Windows i7 920]

I recently upraded from a Radeon HD 4890 to a Radeon HD 4870 X2, due to getting a nice price on the dual-GPU card (bit over $100, and its new). Performance on the games I like to play has gone up considerably (I also like to run at maxed graphics). I'm wondering now what to do with the 4890? Keep it as a spare, or try selling it on eBay?

Personal Opinion, as long as it works fine, I always like to have a spare stashed away just in case something were to happen to the newer one.
But that's just me. If you could get a decent amount for selling it, then it may be worth going the eBay route.

Unless of course you need a really large paper weight.....

You probably won't get much for it and as soon as you sell it you will probably need it. Now if you save it as a spare it will bring you good luck and you will never need it.

Having a spare for testing purposes can make your life much easier should the need arise. A Guy

I agree with Phone Man and it being a good luck charm if you keep it. If you sell it on ebay to someone, they will install it wrong, fry it and blame you.

I agree, having some spare parts around can be handy. In case of emergency, or for testing purposes.

Yeah, paperweight sounds good I think. :sarc:

Take it apart, make jewlery with the pieces, sell each bit to school children for a premium.
