Refurbished graphics cards yes or no

[Senortacos69]

I was surfing amazon looking at graphics cards and i came across a refurbished Titan for the price of $700 US dollar! That seems to good to be true as a new would cost about $1020 so do you think there may be something wrong with the card or just a insanely good deal?

Unless you need the extra memory the card has the GTX 780 ti is a better bet(for games) for near the same price.

You are aware that the just released 680 Ti beats the Titan and it's about that price.

And if you want to rule compute, get a Radeon 7970.

Anyway the card is probably fine. Although it will be "no prize" in early 2014 when the next generation 20nm GPU's are released. NVidia (Maxwell).

Refurbished is usually fine as long as it was refurbished by the manufacture and comes with a warranty. But, for $700 get a 780Ti its faster than the Titan and is $700 brand new, plus you get some free games with a new card. So considering you can get a new card thats faster I wouldn't call it that good of a deal.

everyone said exactly what I was going to say.

You think a used 680 from amazon would be a good idea i found one for $380 with the condition "good" or do you think it would be worth the 200 extra dollars for a new one?

A GTX 770 is faster than a GTX 680 and a 770 is about $330 brand new? So no, its not a good deal.
