Buying an Ex Mining GPU

[Valaries]

I wanted to buy a new GPU RX 580 with 4GB Vram, it turns out the price is quite cheap, I know its second handed so I asked the seller is this an Ex Mini g or Gaming, and he said it's Ex Mining for approximately a month, should I take it or leave it? The store give me a Personal Warranty for about 2 weeks but still I never bought something Ex Mined GPU so what are yourthoughts, should I take it?

I highly doubt it was only for a month, but the majority of miners run their cards at a lower power limit so the power delivery is in good shape on this card probably. If you get a 2 week window to return it I say go for it, and eBay gives you buyer protection if they don't honor that 2 week window.

if its got a 2 week warranty , then just rag on it for two weeks and if it can handle it then it's probably good to go.

could replace the paste just to be sure

Im not buying it from eBay, I'm buying from a local Online shop (it's trusted I guarantee you), and yes the reason why I want but is because they giving me a warranty, so now the question is how do I test this GPU capability after it arrives and what should i mention first before using it

I'm also planning to use it like for Forza Horizon 4 On High settings and doom at ultra settings, Im a working man, means I dont have much time for gaming, perhaps only on weekends and a couple of hours in weekdays so yeah, I don't really know how to benchmark this GpU capability if I can play it long enough, or should I use a stressmark to test it? But I'm afraid something break if I do it, and yes the store may say it's only a month or so but well, can't seems to trust sellers these days

honestly then just buy a new one and get a several year long warranty. might be worth it
