I used to have a SLI rig with two GeForce GTX 660ti's (EVGA FTW Signature2) and after a while, one of them stopped working. I did an RMA and sent it in to EVGA. Now, the 660ti is discontinued, so I foresaw this problem. basically they sent me back a 760 with ACX cooling, which meets their definition of "equal or better performance" on RMAs, even though it costs about $50 less than what I paid for my 660ti, it performs either equally or slightly better from what I've seen. The problem is that now, if I put in the 760, I have a useless 660ti, which is a waste of $310. The solutions I have thought of are these:

1) Try to sell the 660ti on ebay or something (is there anywhere else to sell it?) at hopefully the price of another 760 and SLI those

2)Sell the 760 and try to find a 660ti to buy of the same model(not likely)

3) The smallest chance that EVGA will let me trade my 660ti for another 760 (I doubt it)

4)Suck it up and just use the 760

The problem is that I have had about zero sucess selling stuff on ebay, the last graphics card i tried to sell only got 1 buyer from india who never payed :( So I would like to avoid that if possible.

Does anyone have any suggestions or can anyone think of other solutions?

Does anyone know somewhere I can sell a 660ti and get at least $260 for it?

Yeah I am going to do that first, but the interesting part is that I asked them about this issue before I sent in the RMA, and they said they might have replacement cards even though they are discontinued. But I am definitely going to talk to them.

Yeah, EVGA just told me they they would upgrade my other 660ti to a 760 in order to keep my SLI intact! :) They will even pay for shipping!! People don't lie when they say EVGA has the best customer support. What a great deal!
