Posted January 21, 2022 Hello, yesterday I bought second handed GIGABYTE AORUS GTX 1080 Rev. 2.0 I install drivers, etc. everything work fine. Today seller called me and said my card will die in few days because of something his friend did to card. He assured me he will replaced it for same, which will work. I am not sure if its scam. What I am concered is card´s BIOS which on techpowerup is unverified. What should I do? https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/197393/197393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 21, 2022 Author Bios is ok, found it on gigabyte site. I opened gpu, repaste it and used lens to check almost every condensator. Nothing damaged. He probably want to sell it for more.

Posted January 21, 2022 Can you just flash that official Gigabyte BIOS and then maybe you can stop worrying in the long run? The rest seems fine. That seller seems sketchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
