any brands to avoid 2nd hand?

[FoxEye]

as title really.

looking to buy a 200-series 2nd hand, and there are a few around, from the likes of Palit, Inno3d, etc.

what I'm after isn't so much how they perform, but what their failure rate is like.

any brands to avoid on those grounds?

They're all made in the same factory so the failure rate will likely be fairly uniform across the brands. Warranty is more important really - how long, is it transferable, will the seller be willing to handle an RMA for you if required.

Well if possible it would be worth buying something that has some warranty left on it. As to failure rates i'm afraid i dont know but they are all made in the same factory so really there shouldnt be any difference.

XFX allow a transfer of remaining warrenty ..... not sure if any others do.

Just go for whichever brand that has warranty left/longer warranty and check the seller is willing to assist with RMA stuffs if needed.

I know I would personally be willing to assist if I sold somehitng highlighting the fact it still had warranty left.
