Is the Zotac Amp! GTX 1080 any good for a used card?

I want to know if I should buy this card or, since the chips' prices are coming back down to earth slowly should I wait for a reasonable price for another card or just get this one?

The GTX 1080 is still a pretty good graphics card (even though the RTX 2000 and 3000 series cards are better), considering that it is a used card, you really don't know if the card was abused (ex. cryptocurrency mining). If you don't absolutely need a new GPU right now (can use integrated graphics or a GPU you already have) then I would recommend waiting until the prices fall and likely new GPUs will come to the market.

Well my birthday is coming up so I was hoping for my parents to get me something at least for right now. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, 1080s and 1080tis are still very capable at 1080p and 1440p.

 

Just be careful with used GPUs as you never know how those cards were treated. Best thing you can do is buy from someone local and test the card before buying.

Don't trust some video or pictures the seller shows you of the card working or anything like that.

 

150$ for a 1080ti is way too cheap. Looks fishy if you ask me.

In my opinion 150USD For a GTX 1080 TI is too Cheap, Are you sure it's a GPU or just the box?. Also now way there are a people in this world who will underpriced the GPU so low like that considering the current GPU prices, I mean even a used card should be at reasonable price which lower than MSRP or at MSRP and even higher than the MSRP because of the current shortage

 

Other than that don't too much expecting a used GPU, It could be from a mining operation, The GPU is defective, Or even not work at at all, Also don't expect heavily at a image, It could even be fake.

 

Triple check what you're doing. Yes it is a good thing to NOT being inpatient right now. Because GPU Shortage will end someday...

 

Other than that GTX 1080 TI is Still a beast, Performing much more like RTX 2070, RX 5700. Or even RTX 3060/ti but with Higher TDP due to older pascal chip
