Hi!

 

So, i was wondering, i got an offer on a GTX Titan from Kepler architeture for around 55USD. It's on brand new state, used for 6 months, comes with the original box from Gigabyte will all the parts and manuals. And for more 35USD he gives me a full EK block with backplate for it.

 

I know the price looks "way to good". The seller it's selling at this price since it haves a problem related to long-term use, but since I do graphics card repairs it's a easy job for me to fix it :P 

 

If i get it, i will be OC'ing it.

 

So still a deal? Yes? If no, why?

 

Thanks for all the help,

snow!

Thats one hell of a deal. The Titan is equivalent to a stock 480

Its the orginal titan. No where near a 480. I'd say its a decent deal as long as you can get it working.

Heck, for that price I'd buy it even if it works or not :P

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

the original titan is indeed about as fast as a RX 480

it's still a pretty good card for today's game...imagine someone who bought that 6gb card day 1...he has had an amazing gaming experience for over 3 years now...i was too poor though i had to buy a 3gb GTX 780..

I loved mine. I used just one to play bo3 on 1080. High settings and extra where it could as cards without 6gb couldn't use extra without mods. Still over 100 fps easy. Really wish I didn't get rid of my two but I have 3 Titans blacks now. I'd buy one again for that price.

I'm really thinking on buying it, my problem is the TDP..

 

250w, that's too much..

 

btw, if i buy it and then sell it fixed, how much would i get for it?

 

(PS: Will sell it on the europe zone, since my country belongs to it.)

What the heck I would totally buy that and the original titan is closer to a 1060 6gb than 8 gb rx480. Bro buy it if not I will buy it. You could resell it for around 400 dollars to collectors on eBay
