1080 to still good

[Puffing]

It it worth buying a  1080 ti for 500 bucks used? Or getting a broken one and trying to fix it, if I did the fixing way what would I look for in a broken card like what problems are maybe not to do with the pcb?

It's still a great card but not for $500. You can get a 5700XT or 2070 Super for $500 or under, and get similar performance, the latest features and most importantly, warranty.

$500 is too high used. I'll only look at it if it starts at $350, but no more than $400 if I was desperate.

 

Also getting a broken card and trying to fix it isn't for the faint of heart. If you aren't handy with a soldering iron, multimeter, and oscilloscopes, don't even bother trying.

Wouldn't pay more than $350 for a used working one.

Ah thanks i barely know what an oscilloscope is and since they cost more than the gpu it’s self I may as well not lol thanks. As for a hoy I have a 2060 s but I want to water cool it so I may try that it’s not just wanting to get into modding

Nothing other than a bad fan or dried thermal paste...

Lol ok so bad idea haha I figured

Looking to get one myself as the 1080 isn’t cutting it. 
 

Plenty around for 450-500. 
 

only real choice aside from getting a 2080 super. But I have to get a water block and my cpu doesn’t have much head room.

Get a RTX 2070 Super for about $430. The +18 effective speed is not worth $260
