What are peoples thoughts on buying used GPU's? How often do they fail or have problems? considering buying something used to tide me over until the next gens come out.

Don't unless you need to, buying overpriced 2nd hand GPUs keeps the prices of new GPUs higher.as your purchase facilitates someone else buying a new overpriced card.

2 months is optimistic!

Fact of the matter is that the value hasn't dropped. Don't think any seller would agree to factor in 3000 series being 3-4 months away when pricing for new GPUs aren't even doing that.

I think you mean PS5.

This is very true currently selling my RTX 2080 and you would not believe the amount of interest its getting. They've been going for £500-£550 2nd hand!

I just had a look to see how much second hand Asus Strix 2080ti are going for (There been quiet a few that sold for very close to £1100 :eek:) :):):)

May stick mine on the bay for £1299 for a laugh :p

Lol, that's just mental, never would a graphics card be worth so much 2nd hand to me. No/limited warranty, no idea how the card has been treated. 50-60% of retail or lowest cost gpu that equals it in performance. Guess that's why i never buy 2nd hand.

Ive only got a 650w psu will i be ok ? lol

i'd say a absolute minimum of 750w will be needed, to play it safe i'd say around 1000w+ will be needed if you plan any kind of gpu and cpu overclock plus watercooling because 350w is a lot to keep cool XD if the leak is true that is

That is a very good price to sell it at. How much did you buy it for?

I bought it for 475 quid.

So quite happy with it.

I've got my laptop with an RTX2070 in so I'm happy knowing I've got 400 quid towards a next gen card or console whichever makes more sense.
 
I think a 650w would be plenty even for a 350w Gpu as its not like the CPUs going to be pulling 200+w while gaming especially a ryzen CPU, cpu 100w Gpu 350w and 50w for the rest of the system.
 
it does seem very interesting that NVIDIA could be pushing upto 350w for next gen cards, could the threat from big navi be spooking NVIDIA into pushing the performance envelope?
