Fair price for a GTX 970 4GB?

Forerunner
Someone has asked to buy my old Asus Strix GTX 970 4GB.
It has no issues. I'll clean it thoroughly, repaste it and give him a testing warranty.

What would be a price that's fair to both sides?

7100-7400 ig, maybe a bit more
Cause near around 8300-9500, you get into the 1070-1080's range

No more than 5K

For 9K or so, you can snag a 1080, which is 50% more powerful. Also, the 1080 has 8 GB of VRAM vs 3.5 for the 970.,

Thanks for the reply. That's more than I expected.
So you think, say, 6k will be on the low side?
Anyone else's opinion will be appreciated.

Theoretically, yes, but 3.5GB is actually usable from a performance standpoint. 500 MB is useless and slow. As good as RAM swapping.

NVIDIA Settles Class-Action Lawsuit Over GTX 970 Memory

NVIDIA settled in a 2015 class-action lawsuit against it, for misrepresenting the amount of memory on GeForce GTX 970 graphics cards. The company has agreed to pay every buyer of the card USD $30 (per card), and also cover the legal fees of the class, amounting to $1.3 million. The company...

Np

@PunkX 75 has a fair point.
But comparing it to a GTX 1080 is not really that good of a metric, we should try to compare to cards in it's performance range

The 1650 is kinda a popular card in used market, it should also server as a great metric.
Since 1650 is about 5-30% better in games so maybe a bit lower than the usual selling price i suppose.

Best I could find were near 5k, ig any price below that would be great.

I also have a GTX 1650 Super (not for sale). My impression was that the 970 falls in between a 1650 and a 1650 Super.
 
The person asking to buy it does not intend to use it in his main system. It's for his younger brother who doesn't have any graphics card.

Can their psu handle the 970?
Some say that it draws upto 300 watts.
 
I don't know what PSU they're using but he was using a 3060 Ti for some time before he gave the rig to his brother. He's keeping the 3060 Ti for his new system. Neither of them plays very demanding games.

A good 550-600 watt psu should be fine.

Video Card Thread 'ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Twin Fan'

Hi Forum Members,

I am planning to sell my graphics card. It was bought used in the month of Oct. 2023 and originally purchased circa 2019. It has served me well so far and has zero issues. I had also done a de-shroud mod on the same and have reverted back to the original cooler now. The FurMark result is with this stock cooler in place. The card idles around 35 degree C and at full load goes up-to 72 degree C (ambient room temperature 27 degree C). Twin Fans work as expected but can get noisy when they ramp up (reason for the de-shroud mod).

What's the point of posting a link to someone else's thread here?

Thanks. But even with your translation, I still don't know what point he's trying to make by linking to someone else's thread.
Likely referring to the 1650 super you mentioned earlier.

Apparently yes. But I was just talking about the speed ranking of the 970 compared to the 1650 and 1650 Super. That other thread has nothing to do with it.
People really need to understand Hindi is just one of many national languages

Quite true. A small correction though. We have no national language, only several official languages that are recognised for official records and communications. I understood what you meant. Just thought I'd insert some clarification.

I think they are trying to provide data on recent marketplace listing.
The 1650 super mentioned in the listing was listed on Saturday, yet there seems to be little intrest on it. ( Maybe higher than fair price )

If you think that the 970 belongs between 1650 and 1650 super, maybe 5-5.5k is a fair price for it..... ig
