Question Should i buy mining used RX 470?

[yullbarez]

I've found mining used MSI RX 470 Gaming X 4G. Seller is reliable and sold so many cards and buyers are satisfied. He says card itself used mining for 3 months. He also shared Furmark test and card giving average 75 FPS at 1920x1440 resolution. Card itself very clean and work correctly. Is that Furmark score is normal? By the way i'll use this card for gaming.

This all should be fine. If the card was taken care of there should be no issues with a mining one.

Just make sure the seller is using a gaming vbios rather than a mining one, otherwise you might have problems.

Thanks for the reply. Is that Furmark score is normal?

I dunno, but it seems fine.

I'll make sure if it has stock vbios. Then i'll probably buy it. Is that mining vbios could be a problem?

Flashing the bios isn't very hard, but it would be nice to have it done first.

A mining vbios can cause issues with driver installation or performance of the card.

I'll ask the seller. I've flashed so many vbios. It wouldn't be a problem.
