[SOLVED] Would you buy a used “mining” 1070?

[Ttesar06]

I was searching and found someone selling 10x gigabyte gtx 1070 g1 gaming cards for $250 each I offered him $200 each if I buy 2 and with some back and forth he finally agreed. It has a 14 day return period. He says they were where never run over 70% and kept cool. Would you trust this? I guess the return period of 14 days gave me more peace of mind.

If this is a good deal, what testing should I do upon receiving the cards to verify they’re in good condition Aside from plugging them in and gaming. Are there any special tests or benchmarks I can run to make sure they are still good.

SLI 1070s? it would depend on which monitor you game on/settings. But more likely that you won't be able to benefit all that much from SLI at this time.

This should be an option to take serious consideration to. 3 Year warranty as well. And really, you're gonna spend 400$ on used 14 day warranty items? you could get an RTX2070 for that price (yes it'll cost more, but hell... 400$ already, might as well take it and make it right)
