So im looking at the second-hand market for a gpu found an IGAME 1070 that has been used for 3 years the seller said that it has a missing screw (maybe it has been opened) but its only visible from the side the price is around the price of a second hand 1060/1650 super so its a really good deal but im concern if this missing screw is concerning or not here are some pics

I mean, if you can test it and see the card working before you buy it, yeah get it. I've bought sketchier. As long as it has all the screws surrounding the die itself, there isn't really anything to worry about.

 

If you can't see it run something like 3D mark, then I'd be a bit more worried since the card was opened up, and if the guy is an idiot he might've screwed something up and you'd end up with a dead card (either a cracked die or a knocked off SMD component).

Does the video card have all of the original manufacturer stock parts? If it is missing a screw there I'm not sure what's it suppose secure or if is needed .

tbh im not sure if the seller just feels like something should be there or he know that there's a missing screw should be in that place he just stated "Minus -Missing screw " ill find out if its a good card or not on monday but theres a refund policy so its all good if it doesn't work
