Or at that point should i just get a new 390 or 390x for about the same price and get the 8gb of vram

I'm a self admitted EVGA fanboy.

390x is a good card, so it depends on the games you play.

When it comes to used and 90$ tho zotac seems pretty good. And the 390x is good but amd just isnt as supported as nvidia so

[App4that]

Yeah ZOTAC's are pretty good.

 

AMD is supported, it just takes FOREVER for that to happen. While Nvidia offers support day one. So for me it would take a lot to get me to go back to AMD. Way too happy with team green.

Thinkin the 980 then as well its a kickass card to begin with and for less than a 970 its worth it

Cheapest you have seen = value as far as I am concerned.

afyeung said he seen one for 400 on swap, which means in the end buyer pays more than 400 because in theory buyer trades his old one?

 

Even if it was for the 400 on sale, it doesn't mean everybody have to sell their used parts at that price, there are more things to consider when buying GPU such as brand or different variants of the card for example.

 

Personally I wouldn't buy used parts, unless it was from someone that I know well and had fair bit of warranty left on the item. The only thing I ever purchased that is used is my car
