    I am going to upgrade my card from a 7950 gtx to a 9800m and i was just seeing if i will find it hard selling my old card after i replace it. This would really help me in deciding whether to upgrade or not. What does everyone think?

    going from a 7950 to a 9800M definitely will have a significant difference (about twice as much).

    as for re-selling the card, you can sell it on NBR or ebay... but its sometimes hard to sell... unless if another Clevo owner is looking to replace theirs.
    - if you sell it for a great price (like $200) someone will more than likely buy it.

    In any case, you can always keep the old card for backup and testing purposes.

    I don't really see anyone wanting a 7950 gtx, you won't find a d901c owner to buy it either since it's pretty much impossible for them to get a second fan and heat sink without buying a gpu from a retailer. Also as I recall the 7950 gtx was the first gpu released in the m570ru line.

    Yeah I'm still looking around for anyone interested, lol. And yes it is hard, but hey I could see if someone would want a little improvment from a 8600 or 8700, they could switch, lol. But at Eurocom they have it for around 395 with shipping, but thats for the GTS.
