Which GTX 1070 ti to choose from?

Go to solution Solved by AndrewB121,

I'd probably take the MSI gaming card, it hasn't been used as a mining card, has slightly more warrenty than the armor card and the armor coolers aren't known for being high quality. 

I have around 3 used GTX 1070 ti cards to choose from

 

1) MSI GTX 1070 ti Armor ($185usd) 1 year plus warranty left, used for crypto mining

2) Asus Cerberus GTX 1070 ti Advanced Edition ($273usd) 1 to 2 year warranty left, used for crypto mining as well

3) MSI GTX 1070 ti Gaming ($223usd) 1 and a half year warranty left, used for gaming and VR gaming as well

 

I will definitely prefer a non mining card since its not overstress constantly but who knows right? Any opinions on this?

That being said if budget is a concern the armor card is probably fine, lots of miners undervolt their cards to protect them. If you're willing to take the risk it's a pretty fantastic price for a 1070ti.

i think around 200 plus usd is fine with me, for me i am just worried about mining cards as they are run 24/7 so its condition may not be that good. Overall, i still prefer the msi 1070ti gaming one. Thanks for ur opinion :)
