Uh no. but then again the GPU market is kind of retarded. We have yet to see all the miners enter back into the market yet.
I think this generation of mining was by much larger player with more money, ready to keep their GPUs for years if need be.
Jason King
Don't ever buy a used GPU ever again, especially for a cheap price like that. The seller probably was using it to mine 24/7 for a few months and is selling it now that the crypto frenzy has died out.
Dylan Jenkins
Yes, if only for the CRT output.
Jacob Edwards
Just get a used 1080 Ti for $500
Luis Hall
Oh, hell yeah. A 980 is fucking solid at 1080P. If you're even asking bang for your buck questions you don't have a 1440P display, and even in VR a 980 pared with a modern CPU will get the job done at 150% SS.

I actually got a 980Ti from someone on leddit for $200. (SC ACX version)
Works well, runs hotter than my previous GPU (GTX 1050) but I just took the side cover of my case off and that helped a ton.
Jordan Walker
Don't let these dipshits scare you, OP - that's a great price/performance ratio.
I picked up a few 780 Tis a year ago - used, mind you - and they're working flawlessly. I reapplied TPM and thermal pads, confirmed the BIOS version, etc. just to be sure.
Used is almost definitely your best option at that price point.
Isaac Moore
DO NOT BUY USED GPU, FRIEN
Matthew Hughes
I got a 970 for $220 in January and it works great. 430 hours in VRchat so far.
Logan Allen
good deal

You can just get a 1060 for $150 lol.
Jason Wilson
No, RX 480 costs the same, has 8 GB, similar performance but more future proofing.
Cooper Murphy
I fell for the meme before the benchmarks came out
Ian Sanchez
Just buy a used RX 580 or wait for the RX 600
Alexander Fisher
You can buy a used 1060 6g for that price.
Jack Cruz
From what I remember the 980 is about as powerful as a 1060 or R9 580.
Given the choice I'd get a newer card, less power consumption, longer lifespan still, better video decoding and whatnot.
Michael Reed
The problem with buying used electronics is you don't know how hard the person ran it. If they OC'd the fuck out of it and did 100% GPU extensive mining then it's going to be dead in another year.
Carter Barnes
>because displayport can't do that, right guys
Bentley Lewis
Absolutely not. $100 more could have gotten you a 1070ti when eBay had coupons.
Ryan Russell
>bought a gtx 970
>asus strix
the design is retarded and the card itself is ridiculously heavy.
Lincoln Mitchell
what kind of hobos waste energy on coupons
Nolan Thomas
People in this thread need to calm down it's a good deal
Jaxon Diaz
You should always be suspicious of 'good deals'. Rarely do people or businesses aimed at profiting create 'good deals' because they're feeling kind.
They're the ones that's getting a better deal. It's up to you to figure out why.
Aiden Powell
So are all of these some kind of conspiracy
ebay.com
Lincoln Ward
Nope, but if they're Pre-Owned, then you've no clue what state it's in, and the owner probably won't give any information. Better not to risk it unless you are absolutely strapped for cash. Look at the seller's product ratings and hope for the best.
Adam Stewart
Literally nothing wrong with a used miner card. Miners undervolt that thing. Gamers on the other hand run their equipment out of spec for no reason all the time.
Gavin Diaz
some retard on youtube recorded his 980ti's in sli having 50ms more lag on VGA output than digital. I assume he was using a bad adaptor and was a retard but do you know any thing about this?
980ti was released about a year after 980 so I assume it could use worse parts?
Brandon Campbell
he was adamant he used a passive adaptor and not a converter so it wasn't that but he seemed like a awkward retard that would lie and was just shilling Zowie monitors.. but makes me wonder about 980 output as I use a 980.
