gigabyte geforce gtx 780ti 3xOC secondhand

[roa]

hi guys

 

i'm still a newbie and want to build my 1st gaming / video editing PC

 

i'm planning to buy this secondhand GPU which has been used for two months

 

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4839#ov

 

i got an offer for this GPU for only 290€ instead of 440€ for a new one.

 

is it okay to buy a used GPU? 

 

i'm kind of hesitating not because it's used, but because it has some bad reviews which i sadly don't really understand

If you buying it from reputable friend/seller, I don't really see a problem with it. Two months is nothing, It could be a little bit dusty but if nobody did any stupid things with it, go for it

 

P.s. Woudn't be better to go for GTX 970 you could get it for a little bit more, at least in my country.

isn't 780ti better than a 970? sorry kinda new with this stuff

 

if i decided to buy a new one instead of a used one, should i go for a r9 290x or a gtx 970?

 

thanks ;D

They should be almost on par, if without overclock the 780ti could be only a little bit faster. But the 970 should run cooler and have better power consumption.

 

Both are good cards but I would personally prefer the 970 because of the reasons above

 

No problem man, glad to help

 

Check it for yourself

wow 970 is actually pretty good. can you help me decide on what to get?

 

2 months old used GIGABYTE 780 Ti 3x OC for 290€ ( new price 440€ ) or new GTX 970 for around 300€

 

the only problem is that most of 970s are out of stock here in germany such as MSI 4G  for 350€ and ASUS STRIX for 370€

 

there is this one thou, is this one good enough? http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5212#ov

 

it costs around 320€

I did looked up some benchmarks and review from Newegg on the Gigabyte one and it is beast of a card, don't see any problems with it I would grab it while you can

 

You got pretty good prices in Germany, greetings from Czech Republic neighbor
