Is an ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX TURBO-GTX1080-8G 8GB any good for £195?

It sounds almost too good to be true, but It sounds like a blower card which gives terrible cooling/performance So If its a single-fan blower, even though It's incredible value, Don't get it. Also if it's a fishy seller/seller website dont get it, it's a scam, and if it isn't make sure all the details are right and you can return the product if it's defective, not the one that you were told it was, ect

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Link to the seller because the value of that card is about 600 and its single fan that is a downside like @Brok3n But who cares? said

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

I'd think so, unless You're going to resell it and you can get a good deal for it.
