Hello! I was looking to buy 3070 for my pc build but with the prices, availability and cryptocurrency its imposibble. My main reason is 1440p 144hz gaiming. The price that i got offered is 800 euro, with 1 year waranty left. Its second hand but used for gaming only. I think its worth it what do you think guys? Thank you!

800 Euro for a 2080Ti is not a deal by any stretch. If you need a card now I suggest you keep looking. Get in touch with local distributors (not retailers) and see if they can pre-allocate a RTX 3000 series card for you. Usually some are willing to do so for some extra in top of the normal price. If you are playing on a 1440p monitor a Radeon 6800 (non XT) will also do just fine. Depending on the region those might be easier to find.

Most manufacturers will not continue their warranty for secondhand buyers. 800 euros is an insane price to me and I'd wait for the market to calm down,

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.

From the launch 3070 is minimum 700 euro and goinf up. Here you cant get a deal below 700 euro msrp...  Its like this in my country.

Very, true unless it's EVGA and even then the transferable warranty is not valid in every country

 

I'd be skeptical about even buying a new (resold) GPU since a lot of card manufactures only will warranty the card through the original purchaser

Right but i cant buy anything on good price or in stock for 144hz gaming. I was stupid and sold my rtx 2060 for upgrade in the begining of january. And now i am looking for second hans or something, but maybe i will have ti wait 5 to 6 months at least.
