Question Should I buy a bulk GPU?

[Bogdan7585]

Hello, today I have found a new bulk GTX 1070 for around 200 dollars lower price than the retail version (nearly 40% lower). The warranty is 3 months, instead of 36 months retail version. Is it worth a buy?

BTW I need it for gaming.

NOPE, please do not fall for dodgy products. Even the warranty is just 3 months, and what if the card comes DOA ? Where did you find this deal ? Is that a Single GPU ? It's not worth buying, at least in my opinion.

The deal sounds a bit fishy to me.

I found it in one of the local PC parts shops in my country. They also have their own website. Also, if I were to buy it I wouldnt want them to send it, I would come myself to their shop and test it on my PC.

It's some sort of scam. Why would someone sell a card for less than half of what it is worth?

Its actually a shop and they are saying that its new, so I dont really know if I should trust them.

they are saying that its new,

NEW ? Then why would any sane fellow sell the card on a 40% lower price ?? There is a RISK factor here, and something sounds fishy to me.

EDIT: It might also be possible that they slap just the BOX of the 1070 Video card, but inside there might be some other low-end GPU model. I've seen this happen on several occasions.

Well it might've been used for mining, which can lead to them selling it on a lower price saying its "new". messiah has a point it happens a lot of times in my country when someone doesn't know a thing about computers or gaming but he just wants a computer so they give him the shit components with a way higher price.

Can stores sell used components with a receipt as new?

Sometimes it happens yeah, and people don't check to see whats inside the box or the form the card in.

Like no offence, but whoever sell computer parts in our country is mostly Indian tech guys, and yesterday my friend was like i cant find my rams i was like give me a picture? they stole his 2 sticks of rams when he left his pc in the shop for a day, and another friend they replaced his 1080ti with a fake 1080ti and took they took the brand new one.

Thats why I rarely leave my computer in a shop or want someone to send me parts, I usually go to the shop myself.
