A little detour for the context of it,

It was my birthday yesterday and my friend purchased a GTX 750 ti for me, not knowing that it was the same exact card I had in my computer already. I was going to SLI them but apparently the 750s are not SLI compatible and I basically now have an extra GTX 750 ti 2gb.

Now for the social aspect of this, is it possible for me to just hop into computer component stores (Micro Center, possibly Best Buy) and request a deal in order to sell them my graphics card at a reasonably lower price to them? Or is my only option like to post it on eBay (which I don't want to do)?

If any of you have dealt with this before, how did you handle it?

The retail stores will not buy a card from you. They don't want to deal with that for many reasons. To much liability to do something like that. Not to mention even if you found a mom and pop PC repair shop that would buy it, you are only going to get a fraction of what it's worth.

New in the box or not, it's still essentially a used card, so don't expect to get retail price for it if you do try and sell it. You might try Craigslist or something like that. There are classifieds here as well. Your friend can't return it?

That might be a consideration to ask to return it, but it just seems weird since he bought it for my birthday and I kind of don't want to tell him to do so, but I'll see what I can do.

That's another possibility but I personally want to spend the money from the GPU on something else possibly. I'm hoping to get around $120-$130 in comparison to the retail price of $150-$180.

On a side note, how much of a performance boost would I get from using the second GPU as a dedicated PhysX card, and how would I do that?

Have you priced them recently? They generally range $110-150.
