Hi Guys

So I'm selling these two cards to fund another hobby I'm taking up. I bought them off a friend to make a multi rig gaming room for me and some buds but it would turn out too expensive (my eyes were too big for my wallet). I have a collection of photos and screenshots of the cards and how they perform and the benchmark results they got. I have noticed that when running the 3DMark Extreme benchmark there is an intermittent whining noise, but I'm thinking that my PSU is probably the problem rather than the cards because of the power load (i get it intermittently with my 1080ti as well). Unfortunately the PSU is 6 years old and I dont have time or cash for a new one to double check. If it turns out that its the cards I will drop 500 off each card or you can take the effort and have them RMA'd with their respective suppliers and have a brand new card for much less. Dealer's choice.

I will share the link with prospective buyers to the pictures and screenshots via PM.

Update: MSI Gaming X has been sold to @Neko who also kindly offered to test both cards and can confirm now that it was not GPU coil whine, I need to get a new PSU. NO I am not entertaining trades now for a PSU :D

@kidcady was extremely accommodating, he sent me photo's and benchmarks for both cards during our discussions. He even brought the cards to my house to test fit them in my 250D and check for coil whine. Really went beyond for what I normally expect a seller to.

I tested both cards in 3D Mark running Time Spy and opted to take the MSI (A really really tight fitting card) And even with the fans spinning up there was no indication of coil whine. I received full packaging as well as the POP included.
