GTX 1060 3gb crashing , need opinion

ul7ra7r0n · January 31

So i have found GTX 1060 3gb windforce that plays games and sometimes crashes, and i can get it for 20euros, its dusty as hell and i think it needs new paste and new termal pads and i will be fine, if not i can sell it for parts, and if i get it i would under volt it and underclocked memory on it

I don't recommend it,

It's a dying GPU, and 3GB of VRAM is not enough now days.

I would for sure buy that card. Functional 1060 3g's are still sold from 100 euro's and only up.

With it looking dusty like hell, it's most likely thermal throttling. It's a 20 euro gamble I for sure would want to take. Probably easy 70 euros profit, if that's your goal.
