Posted May 6, 2018 I'm finishing up a build and I need a graphics solution. Seeing the state that the GPU market is (still) in, I decided to head over to the used market. I managed to talk a 1070 to $350. Is this worth it? I don't know much about the used market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 6, 2018 Depends on how long it was used for and for what purposes. If it wasn't manually overclocked and was only used for gaming then its fine. If it was used for mining, then I would be a little careful.

Posted May 6, 2018 From a quick glossing over Google Shopping, eBay, and Amazon, it seems to be that the usual asking price for a new GTX 1070 is 450-500 USD. Since you got yours for 350 USD, I can only see it as a good deal if it's lightly-to-moderately used, and hasn't been pinned (stressed considerably in a way that can decrease performance or lifespan). I'd say that you may have gotten a good deal as long as it's advertised as an item: that the seller has swapped out for a better card that hasn't been used very long in general - a few months at most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 7, 2018 Sounds like a solid deal to me! I built my new build almost entirely from the secondary market and its saved me quite a bit.

Posted May 7, 2018 Paid $400 for mine a month ago and don’t regret it. Mining messed up pricing and used is more or less msrp right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take that all day long.

Posted May 8, 2018 Great card. Even if mined on, Linus did a video showing that Graphics Card wear isn't real if they've been using good ventilation and care. GO 'N GIT IT My profile picure is real. That's what I look like in real life. I'm actually a blue and white African Wild Dog.

Posted May 8, 2018 That's what I paid for my 1080, so that's a good deal given the market. Should be fine aslong as it isn't one of those cheap plastic cooler versions. Id prolly still swap the tim once its been testing.
