I still wouldn't ever want anything requiring the 12vhpwr connector anywhere near my build though.

im thining now the one inthe 70's is when i bios modded the card, i think mid 60's was stock bios
still you added about 8% to your score, thats good


Picked up a used Vastarmor 9070 locally for 3500rmb, was 3579rmb but got a discount for going and picking it up. Every little helps!
Boxed, with all accessories and original sales invoice included for warranty.
Guy had only had it for a couple of weeks, but bought a 5080 instead.
Works out around £375, which is more than I want to pay for GPUs, but seems like a solid price for this card right now. I don't want the troubles of buying a GPU in next year's memorygeddon landscape
I buy a lot of used hardware here, and there are so many times that the story is like this.Sounds insane... Why TF would anyone buy 9070 (non xt?) only to trade up for a nvidia 5080 so soon?
Rather than just buying a 9070xt in the first instance?

I'm presuming he got a deal he couldn't refuse on the 5080. He buys and sells a lot on the used app, looking at feedback, so didn't feel the need to poke holes in the story.![]()
Card is already installed and working. This app is the biggest second hand app used in China, and I've used it for years. Went to his house to pick it up too. If I was still in the UK buying used, I probably wouldn't go for it, but I find the second hand market far better here.Buying from an app? I mean it's an ok deal on face value but it sounds a bit sketchy...

The buyer is just as responsible for the deals they are a part of. I don't go in for dodgy dealings.![]()
Am wondering if there’s any mileage in an underclock in terms of delivering more performance by running a bit cooler, but it’s already quite a cool and low power card.
