1080 Ti GTX for under £200??

On a more serious note new 1070's are now selling for under $300 so let's see what happens here in the next couple of weeks

And there's no problem with that. If anything, miners take care of their cards more than the average gamer does - because it is his income source. The only thing likely to fail would be the fan bearings, and that's an easy swap tbh.

Undervolting pascal cards for even more efficiency was fairly common because those things were brilliant for it.
 
Miners do not plan to keep their cards for long so they don't really care. They are racing against time and they will try and off load any card at the first opportunity.

And the reason to quickly offload a knackered card, maximising return for the investment.

They're not going to tear good cards out of the mining rigs which are making them money and flog them on the cheap.

Yes, they will, because casual mining is over. It's not profitable enough anymore hence the influx of cards selling.

It's just as risky as buying from average gamer Joe Bloggs these days.

£139.99 for a GTX 1080 Ti? Save a few quid and buy the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 TI for just £49.99! A bargain I'm sure...
 
Don't miners tend to undervolt cards and their corresponding frequency to allow them to run at a more economical power consumption to performance ratio? GD full of so many virgins who have never even overclocked a card in their lives. LOL

Do all gamers take care of their cards?

There's always a risk buying used. The risk is just overblown for miners.

I certainly do.
