Which GPU to buy?

[fluffymarksman]

Hey, Im currently im looking to buy a new GPU but I'm not too sure.

I could either buy a 1080 for 400$ used, 575 dollars for 1080 TI or a new 2070 Super for 688 usd. I don't really have a budget but I don't want to spend too much money on something. I would rather have a GPU for a few years then upgrade. Only I don't know what I should buy. Most of the games I will play will be: Mostly Rust, CSGO, PUBG and maybe some of the newer titles coming out like wolfenstein etc. 

The games would be played on 144hz 1440p screen. 

EDIT: I would maybe like to learn and play around with AI. If that helps anything

Thanks in advance.

Used GPU market is always a little sketch seeing how you don't get a warranty and they can die at anytime. A 2070 should be enough for that, but most of the games you listed aren't the most graphically intense games anyway and you might be able to get away with a 2060 or 2060 super

Norway actually has "warranty" against buying from private people but I don't get how they would suddenly die at any time.

Some cards are like almost brand new online, then there are the ones that have been used for mining 24/7 for weeks on end. Those are two ends of a spectrum, and you really don't know where that card will fall along it so you could get years out of the card or months

But in theory If I were to buy used, what would be the best option?

Potentially look for open box or brand new GPUs as those will have the lightest ware, if outside of that category try to pay that least for a GPU possible that looks good, to try and minimize potentially lost money
