What to do with my card?

So I run a GTX 560 that I got a while back. Now looking for an upgrade, what should I do with the card?

if it was me, I would get my new card, then store the old 1 as a backup in case something ever happens,,if you have a back up then sell it

Agreed. Always have a serviceable backup, just in case. That said, if you are getting an Nvidia card to replace it, use the 560 as a PhysX card? Build an HTPC around it?

Could always use it as a dedicated card for the two games that use PhysX, if you're sticking with NVIDIA .

For those who take all posts literally, the "two games" part was being snarky...

Using the 560 as a physX card is not a bad idea... But I only have a 500W power supply so I doubt it can support two cards.

How much should I sell the 560 for? I am not very familiar with the current supply-demand.

I don't know what the ideal solution is, but I once put a $1 starting price on eBay and got lots of watchers/bids. When I had the same item at a particular price, I had no bids. (It later sold for more than the original asking price.)

As someone who bought a 760 and put an old 460 to work doing PhysX, it's barely hitting any usage doing PhysX (maybe 15% max is what I've seen with Borderlands 2 testing). It's something for nothing, I guess, but almost imperceptible enough that I'm debating just taking it out to reduce fan noise and the electric bill for the 99% of the time I'm not gaming.
