Used 1080

[JuanTroll]

Hello,

 

I have the opportunity to buy a used MSI Aero 1080 for $325 locally. 

This card was not used for mining and its been SLI with another 1080.

 

Is this worth it?

 

Thanks!

The Aero cards aren't the best in terms of cooling, but that's a pretty good price.

it's a decent deal, I just saw an amazon deal for a 1070ti which when overclocked is a 1080 basically for around that price except this is obviously brand new with a warranty

Buy it and buy a new cooler with the money you saved so you can get all the performance it can offer. The blower style on the aero is not great.

Thanks everyone!

 

@fasauceome this is my build as of now 

 

I do of course have a 700w psu and case thats why those are not included. By cooler do you mean CPU cooler?

You can buy graphics card coolers to replace the one it comes with
