Everyone says that it's ok but I know I destroyed my old HD6850 with mining, back when BTC was a few bucks. Shit started blue screening under load.

If you go in blind and don't do your research you could get fucked. But that's the same rule with buying anything second-hand.

Buy from gamers who upgrade and are not in China.

depends , its hard to know how much wear and tear they experienced . i bought 2 rx580s from some guy i know that used em to mine eth for a year and they've been working perfectly with a good overclock for a year now (for gaming mostly)
Dominic Morales
No. I never buy new GPUs, there's no reason to
I just got a RX 580 that seems like it's un-fucking-touched, running for 3 months non stop so far, no issues. It was $90
Chase Turner
anything second hand and 80% of things brand new
going in blind to buy shit without knowing is just fucking yourself, regardless.
