Deathwing514 Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Hello Step Community, If anyone is interested in buying this incredible graphics card for under 200 dollars, visit this link. (your saving up to 80 to 100 dollars) https://www.ebay.com/itm/230851867322?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 HIS 6950 2GB has gotten 5 star ratings on new egg with 250 people reviewing it. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161372
Besidilo Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Why would anyone buy a used HIS card (one of the cheapest manufacturers with poor warranty) and pay extra over a new card? You can also get a better 7850 2GB for less, or even a 7870 1GHz for a small premium. https://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/510?vs=549https://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/510?vs=548
Deathwing514 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 While it may be true that the 7850 series has a slight improvement over the 6950 series. If one already has a 6950 card, they can crossfire it with another 6950 card and easily surpass any single 7000 series. https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/3744/his_radeon_hd_6950_2gb_video_card_in_crossfire/index8.html This is more cost efficient, and the performance boost will be quite substantial.
Besidilo Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Trust me, you're not selling this card at that price point. If you were selling here in the UK, you'd probably get $140 for it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XFX-AMD-ATI-Radeon-HD-6950-2GB-Graphics-Card-PCI-E-/230851038370?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item35bfcb4ca2
Deathwing514 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 Also by looking at the tweaktown benchmarks, one can clearly see that the 6950 2GB can easily play most games with 60FPS and more. It also includes a 1 year and 3 month warranty to safeguard their purchase. Other qualifications that make this an incredible graphics card is: IceQ X Cooling Technology HIS IceQ X Cooling Technology uses 4 heatpipes to remove heat from the core area as well as a 9.2cm silent fan, which can draw massive amount of cool air to cool down the GPU and graphics card directly. The result is cooler and quieter operation than the reference cooling design. High Quality Components High-end components and techniques used on the HIS 6950 IceQ X reinforce stability and durability, including Dynamic Phase Control PWM IC for reducing power consumption, Solid State Choke (SSC) that can maximize current capacity, power efficiency and stability, and Full Solid State Capacitors for extended lifespan and storage capabilities. Microsoft DirectX 11 Support The very latest in high-speed, high-fidelity gaming and computing, Microsoft DirectX 11 featuring new technologies like Compute Shaders, Direct2D, Multi-threaded Rendering and Tessellation enables not just more visually stunning games, but significant performance improvements in some of your favorite websites and everyday applications. AMD Eyefinity Technology with Dual DisplayPort 1.2 Supporting multiple independent display outputs simultaneously, AMD Eyefinity technology delivers innovative graphics display capabilities enabling massive desktop workspaces and ultra-immersive visual environments for the ultimate panoramic computing experience. The new display interface DisplayPort 1.2 boasts features such as 2560x1600 max resolution per display, 21.6 Gbps bandwidth, multi-stream transport and high bit-rate audio, enabling simple, affordable and flexible multi-display configurations.

Deathwing514 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Hey now no need put the man down its his item he can try and sell it for what he thinks its worth. If it dosen't sell its his loss not yours. Let him choose his price. But i will say your asking price is a little high just a friendly suggestion.Thank you EisDrache, I understand if you believe the price might be too high but at least be polite and give me a helpful suggestion like EisDrache did instead of bashing me right out the gate. Anyway, Ive reduced the price from 199.99 to 179.99 as some have stated on toms hardware that this is an appropriate price for a 6950 HIS IceX Graphics cards with 2GB of VRAM. Considering the original price is 279.99 without tax or shipping (with tax and shipping its over 300), I think my price is actually very reasonable for a card that is less than 1 year old, with a warranty of 1 year and half still intact, plus the graphics card is mid high end card that can play most games with 60fps easily. The link below shows that its one tier below a 480GTX and a 570GTX which is pretty damn good.https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html PS: If anyone is interested, send me a pm. we can negotiate the price if its reasonable. (Shipping only in US)
Besidilo Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I think you're a bit misinformed buddy, thinking that anyone would pay extra over a new and better model, like the Sapphire 6950 2GB I linked to in my first post. Good luck with the sale anyway.
z929669 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 @ Deathwing514 We don't want any selling going on in these forums. It is just bad taste. Pointing to an Ebay listing is one thing, but promotion on these forums is quite another. We have a bit about this in the STEP Community Citizenship Guide, so please take a look for future reference. ... closing this thread.
