I've been looking around ebay and amazon for a good GPU. What I'm wondering is should I get a NEW Twin Frozr 280x or should I get a Second Hand Toxic 280x?

 
Solution
Most of 280X cards were heavily used 24/7 for months during the cryptomania stage at the beginning of 2014. If the card was purchased at that time, it is almost certain that it was used for mining. So make sure the warranty is still valid and test the card thoroughly. If the source you are buying second hand from can be trusted, and provided the card is still under valid warranty, get it. Especially if the price is right.
