Used Graphics Cards?

[aces19]

Is it worth it to get used graphics cards for ebay or somewhere else, or is it too much of a risk? Of course, the used graphics cards are cheaper than new ones.

Assuming it is worth it, what would be the best graphics card, or sli/crossfire for around 700$ used or so? It has to be able to beat my current CHOICE for a graphics card to buy, the zotac gtx 980 ti amp extreme. Or is it unbeatable at it's price?

Also, best used card(s) for 800$?

Thanks, answer away.

cheap used cards yes

expensive ones i will only buy from a reputable retailer so you get full warranty cover

So do you think there is any reason to get an sli config of cheaper cards used? Or should I stick with the new Zotac card?

Anything more than $50-$75....look at it really really closely.
$700-$800? Used? Not a chance.

my personal choice would be a single gtx980ti new

i would probably go for msi,gigabyte,asus but those are the manufacturers i have always used so never tried zotac

Great, this helped. The Zotac cards are beast though, they surpass the titan x.

as i said never used them but its all down to personal choice think the msi might be the quietest which is what i prefer

the gigabyte g1 possibly the fastest

but lets face it any gtx980ti is a fantastic card so enjoy it whichever you go for
