Brand new GTX 1070 Ti or Used GTX 1080?

[jamiemarkpounder]

Hello,

Looking to upgrade my GTX 970, and I'm having a hard time deciding on what to do.

I have been offered this Palit GTX 1080 Dual OC for £330 including postage.

But I have also found this MSI 1070Ti titanuim which I like the look of for £414

The main difference is obviously USED vs NEW and I am a bit tentative of buying used cards, but a cheaper 1080, should I take the plunge?

Jamie.

Not on a used GPU, not these days.... And likely no warranty either.... PASS...

Better to buy a new one.

Agreed. With so many cards used for crypto mining you almost have to assume it was run 24hrs a day for at least a year.
