What would be a good offer

[02wrxgt30r]

I am looking at buying a used

EVGA E759 CLASSIFIED LIMITED EDITION

CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1866 7-8-7-20

Intel Core i7 920 (D0 Steping)

could you help me come up with a fair offer :rolleyes:

Thanks for any help

300 for the board, 100 for the ram and 195 for the cpu.

[dpokrajac0]

Hes gonna have harsh time finding a D0 for 195.

[02wrxgt30r]

thanks guys for the fast replies I dought I will get them because he was asking $1000 for it but I offered him $600 so if I get it not to bad a deal if not o well :D

[anzial]

I think reverend is talking euros lol :)

[02wrxgt30r]

if he was talking euros that would be a little over 900 total i belive and I can get it all brand new for around 1000 USD

why exactly do u want an e759 its worse than the cheaper 760 and whoever is selling it will want more (u could most likly get a new 760 for the same price as the person would want for the 759) , the d0 is worth retail and the ram i would say 20% bellow retail

Anyone willing to pay retail for used pc components is mentally unfit.

Offer low, meet halfway from your offer and their price...it's pretty a basic buying strategy. If they don't like it, someone else will.

Thats what im thinking I dont think 600 was a bad offer for used equipment

a new d0 sells for 10-30% over retail for a grantee and some people even play more than retail for good cpus.

and dont pay anyware near the price of the 760 for that 759 MB its a true POS in comparison when u factor the price as compared to the 760

A fair offer would be $400-$450 for the board, $250 for the CPU, and $250 for the DRAM, all in CAD $. Total roughly $900 - $950 CAD (~$800 US). Anyone offering less for those components is not considered a serious buyer. Bottom line is that you cannot find those components cheaper and that's what determines it. If I was selling I personally would not even entertain the $600 offer. You really got to consider what the lowest price is that you could pay retail for these components. The logic of "used components" does not apply for stuff which is currently retailing as top of the market segment.

@zanzabar - what's your logic on the 759 cause I'm not following?

[zanzabar]

the 759 has the nf200 and it makes the board perform worse (3-5% generaly and up to 20% in some applications with never adding benefit for xfire or sli) since there is no extra IO for it distribute more than what comes off of the NB, so it only adds latency and lowers performance while also adding more heat (i think its 25W). and being an NV chipset part its bound to fail and the less NV parts on the board the less chance to fail, it was the only part of skull trail reported to fail.

so in summation the 759 is the worse board and costs ~20-25% more than the 760

[bluehaze]

750-800 would be a good deal, 600 would be a freaking steal but I wouldn't even respond if you offered me 600 lol I think your better off going with 760 anyway, EVGA discontinued the 759 because they realise the NF200 just adds heat and latency and makes the board slower. If it was really a better board you can believe they would keep producing it and selling it for a 50-60 dollar premium over the 760 no reason to discontinue otherwise.

Good luck mate!

759 has full 16X PCIE TRI SLI option.. 760 does not.. it makes a performance differerence I have tested it myself..

Reviews Ive seen show a 2% drop in performance in some games compared with a 760 in single GPU or SLI mode.. however , TRI SLI with 759's 3x 16X PCIE is faster than 760's 2x 16X PCI + 1x 8X PCIE.. more bandwidth for videocards = more performance..

As for these 5% and 20% drop in performance figures zanzbar talk about ? links please..

Extra heat? no problems here and to quote a EVGA forums user "YerBuddy" who has owned both boards..


I have both the 759 and 760 and I do not see any difference in the heat of the NB at all. Both are almost exactly the same. So, your claim (or anyone else) that the NF200 is causing NB temps to run hot is complete hogwash; at least with the two boards that I've tested.

759 is limited edition and does cost more..

[zanzabar]

its not making any new bandwidth and the nf200 cant duplicate data streams like the plx, im getting the link on performance. and 25w isnt much heat for that area of the board but why even have it

but the purpose of the NF200 is when u have an extra 4x it can allocate that extra from the NB to another slot

[Anth Seebel]

Nice play on words but bottomline is 759 has 3x 16X PCIE while 760 has 2x 16X + 1x 8X PCIE lanes and it makes a difference for TRI SLI performance..

Also again, any links to this 5% - 20% performance drop you spoke about ?
