I sold the rtx 2080 for 640 euros and bought a gtx 1080 for 350 euros. 30 % more fps is not worth 300 euros. Gave the 45 euros to my dad for the fuel. My first greentext.
Congrats man

You got scammed.
so you're bragging about catching a lucky break? you nearly got scammed, so let that serve as a lesson that you should be content with what you have because 99% of the time you would be out a video card and shit out of luck.
Although very lucky with the end result, this is why I would never buy used pc equipment from some stranger even if I was to "check out" the thing to be sold. you got very lucky op.
> immediately message the guy asking if the card is still available
If the ad's up it's available. I hate you people.
Based Ali.
Yeah i did learn a lesson, i was a retard for thinking that a 370 euro gtx 1080 ti was legit. The guy even fucking said to my that it wasnt used for mining when i didnt even ask him anything.
dumb story
one time I got an EVGA 760 and a year later it was running weird and I told EVGA and they sent me a new 960 and took the 760, cross ship
ez
>can't speak German
Fuck off
