How to Buy a USED GPU (and not get scammed)

[jandkwhite]

Just grabbed an Asus rtx 2060 for $144 after taxes and shipping.

I bought a broken 3080 fe for $85, owner didn’t have a power cable to test it and woahhh it worked.

Bought an rtx 3080 from an engineering company for $350 used only for 3D modeling. They upgraded to a 4090 so they sold it for cheap.

You forgot to mention that it’s also worth asking to test before you buy

[HairyScrambler]

And if the seller is cool, they won’t mind you bringing a test system. I met this one guy who was super chill and even offered to set up the test system for free. He was overall an equal tech hobbiest that I thought only existed online.

commenting so that YouTube algo suggests more of these videos and not random tiktok stuffs

I grabbed a refurbished 3070 from newegg with a warranty for pretty cheap a few months back and it's worked like a dream compared to my old, low-profile 1650

Thanks for the advice. Now I know how to give people a false sense of security before I scam them.

[hyperhype]

Also make sure the seller accepts returns.

Me in EU looking at 50$ for shipping from USA: 💀

It is always the way to go.. the only new gpu that can game under $200 is the rx6400 or gtx 1650. Both way underpowered for $200. For $200 you can get a used 2060

[frostcate]

Gonna say, if you scrounging on a budget, keep an eye out for GTX 1080Tis, solid performance and i see them often dip around 150$

Nothing beats unboxing that clean gpu for the first ever time 😏😏😏

[LARRYNH]

Thank you for brining value, that's how you do it!

[TheInstinctWithinV]

One more thing is to read everything on the product page. You don't want to accidentally buy parts for the GPU you wanted instead of the whole GPU.

[apimpnamedslickback]

Bought a msi 6800 for 451 off of eBay definitely worth it

[namecannotbeblank]

If the seller has over 2000 positive feedback and 0 negative chances are that even if something does go wrong they will make it right. That was my experience at least.

[Alirezarz]

I can see 3070s for like $250 in my country but there are refurbished 6000 series cards for dirt cheap like 6900xt is going for $350 with 2 year warranty!

If it’s a DM’able seller you can always ask for a very specific photo with the card.
