The person selling will always think his second hand card with probably zero warranty is worth ££££
The person buying will see it as an outdated/old gen card with warranty/use worries and that the seller should be glad to recoup anything

This is why i caved in for the Zotac 2080ti blower at £899 and registered it. So if the warranty can be transferred i should have did the shuffle but i do not want to wait 30days for it to be 25% in non RT games and like 80% to 100% in RT titles. I only paid £300 for mine anyways so i could still sell it.
About 1yr old now and in pristine condition, 5yr warranty +150mhs means it sits shy of 2000mhz so i am happy to wait for the next release but for sure i will again buy Zotac. I actually care about selling someone something at £400 knowing those fans are vulnerable to breakage.

Come to think of it, didn't the 2080ti have a unusually high failure rate?
I vague recall this is the case during the first few months after the initial release, not sure if things has improved or if it is still a case of lottery.

When details of the 3060 come out it could get worse.
Used dodgy 2080ti or slightly slower, better ray tracing, brand new with warranty 3060??

Zotac's Warranty is Non-Transferable though.

^^Yup this.
Plus the newer technological improvements over the previous generation is far more appealing.

But if I was in the market for a 2nd hand 2080ti it would have to come with:
- A transferable warranty that had not expired.
- The original box.
- The original purchase invoice (digital or paper).
And of course the price clearly cannot exceed the price of a new 3070 under any circumstance.
For example.
There is currently a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 TI FTW3 with 20 bids @ £580 + £15 P&P
5 Months old / no original box.
Verdict = Nice model but ultimately not worth it, may as well buy a new 3080 for that kind of cash level.

I have the chance of a 2080ti MSI ventus for £410. Should I go for it? A bit in 2 minds.
Why bother when you can get a faster card for the same money?

Is it definitely going to be faster though? I was in the market for a 2070 super to upgrade from my 980ti but then seen this 2080ti advertised. My original budget was £300 for a 2070 super

Only has 8Gb though and from my experience if you run out of Vram your card is severely gimped and fps just tanks.

I got one today for 460 with waterblock and p+p etc, which also came with AIO cooler (280mm) which i dont need and can sell. 400 is worth it i think as the 3070 with 16Gb ram is not gonna be much more than £600. Id say £699 for a 3070 at 16Gb.

£410 is a little high, maybe offer them £350 for a quick sell, take it or leave it.

Had already got it down from £450. Really torn as I don't think the 3070 is going to smash the 2080ti as some expect.

What res you gaming at?
The 3070 will be fine for 1080p and 1440p, it might lose out to the 2080ti @ 4k though.
Until we see the benchmarks we don't know for sure.
But I reckon it will be trading blows with the 2080ti for the most part.

1440p high refresh rate monitor and 4k TV so a bit of a mixture. Yeah, it's a bit of a gamble without seeing benchmarks. I was supposed to be buying a 2070super for £300 which fell through. Stupidly sold my sons card as he was getting my old card, so now I'm kinda needing a card asap lol.
