at that price, u might as well go NEW and get that B&H 1070TI deal for 350$ (its a flash sale that pops up once in a while).

oh wow custom watercooling and still high temps on the CPU? i'm gonna be using the mugen 5 revb. i wont OC for the first few years of my build until my 1080ti doesnt give me the FPS i need anymore. i ended up getting the MSI - MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX LGA1151 Motherboard last night.

broooo where are you. heheh

I usually get most of my info from youtube and google search but there isn't a lot of info for many of the Z390 mobo models. Much less about the vrm heatsink info (which I know can help keep temps down when trying to OC). in my case. I know the MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon and ASRock Z390 Taichi...

ok so now the real question is, is a 680$ new GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Ti DirectX 12 GV-N108TGAMING OC-11GD better than getting an EVGA or MSI used for $500ish? I've seen that one have some flash sales to 680$, and seen some youtube reviews saying if you see a 1080TI dip below 700$ to grab it...

hey guys, i havent bought from ebay in like 5 years much less something as expensive as a GPU. In regards to the 1080 TI's used on there, what should i look out for? I know i should get a model still under manufacturer warranty i.e. something purchased in 2017 to 2018. But what else do i need...

well i would wait but im on a five year old computer using a nvidia 760 in a form factor so i need a new rig. (i waited 1 year longer than i had planned cuz of the mining craze prices and lame anticipation of RTX.) :( i was wanting to build a 1440p machine for 100+ fps on some upcoming games...

I've seen videos on youtube and read lots of articles. those 1 in 5 articles/videos/reviews with benchmarks that recommend viewers/readers buy the RTX 2080 and admit its a tiny increase in performance from the 1080 TI seem to always say something along the lines of "we should expect to see...

yup i agree with you. its kind of just a personal policy. you can buy new, use it for a year or two, and sell it for 400$. i mean you could buy used at 450$ use it for 2 years and do the same thing. but again, you don't know how hardcore its been mined. since im building an expensive rig, i...

yea i dunno about this. it may not get quite to 50$ heheh.

wow. show the picture to the place where u bought it? (if its brick and mortar). I thought they come with a warranty of some kind? i know if you buy from amazon they offer cheap cheap warranties thru amazon, but you would have had to have purchased it. well anyways man. i hope it turns out...
