Used gpu

Thinking about buying used vaga 56. Wondering if I should buy used gpu

Hello!

it really depends on what condition it is in (do you have a link?)

generally I say it depends on the budget - getting very low end new parts is a waste of time, when a good condition used part will do just fine and will probably perform better.

a vaga 56 is also an interesting choice: i think it has a high power draw (could be wrong).

His reviews seem mostly great, although a few recent complaints that don't seem nice to get into.

If you want a Vega 56 specifically, i would say that this is good, although maybe the security of buying a 1660ti new for about the same performance (but slight differences here and there) is slightly better?

 

reference - no idea the flaws (if any) of this card, but it seems to perform about the same for new:

1660 ti costs 40-60 dollars more
