GTX 1060 yay or nay?

[MattBoxer]

Hello Boi's,

                  Just wondering you're opinions, I have found this Palit GTX 1060 6GB for really cheap (like 25% the price of retail), however it is being sold as not tested but it looks fine and an almost like new condition. I'm thinking buying it for a project. Do you guys think its worth a shot?

I have checked out Facebook pages and the marketplace and other websites but this seems like such a good deal tho. (if it worked)

At 25% or retail, I'm going to assume it doesn't work.

Most damage, unless it's a fire, won't be seen by looking at the cooler shroud.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking and if anything it was most likely used for mining. So no idea, but I think I may stay away from this one.

Who would sell it for that cheap if there isn't something wrong with it? I would pass.

Aye. If you think about it, selling something as "untested" when you know it's broken is the best way to get maximum return on your expenditure.

"Untested" means they don't want any liability for it not working, which they probably already know.

Time to search for another card then xD. 

 

Thanks for all the opinions!
