did you know that a GPU card has THOUSANDS of moving parts? I didn't either. Here is what has to be THE WORST interviewee I have ever come across ...

Any estimate what they pay for 1080s and 1070ti's?I sell mine to sellgpu unless its a friend - its the other way around for me (my opinion) in that times in the past you bump into buyers who get your card, overclock the crap out it, buddy tells them don't buy it - and they want a return or try charge-back (with my job, often end up with many top cards (Ti's, Titan's, etc...) that have seen zero overclocking and only few hours of use in the lab). You may be able to find places like (and including) sellgpu where you can buy used gpu's with some sort of company backing if person to person seems to risky for you.
Example all my Radeon VII's, in last month couple went to friend, sold rest (make room for new top AMD cards in lab) - next up will be 2080's and then Ti's (soon), followed by RTX Titan's - sellgpu I know the price, zero returns, no end tech support needed and no one ticked off or buyers remorse to deal with.
They have a quote function on the site.Any estimate what they pay for 1080s and 1070ti's?
im sitting on a bunch

Ten day offer for a 1080 was $162.
Ten day offer for a 1070ti was $122.
Both of those seem very low esp if you have a good forum with trustworthy buyers and sellers.

cool thanks sir!Normally if I have few cards, I email them and they will work with you - While as pointed out, its not always a better price than private sale may bring, however, they provide the shipping label for you, even the box if you wish, and once they get the card, its fast payment and you never need worry about them doing a charge back or over- clocking the card(s) and wanting a refund after they screw them up (or say your selling junk, lol). My first sale to them I was (as sure most are) pretty hesitate - they have been great though - I've sold some of CPU's, memory, and ssd's from my lab as well.
Here's few others
1080 $162.00
Radeon 64 $202.00
1080 Ti $252.00
2080 $302.00
Intel 6950X $182.00
I am assume they are a reseller, where to do they sell these used cards?Normally if I have few cards, I email them and they will work with you - While as pointed out, its not always a better price than private sale may bring, however, they provide the shipping label for you, even the box if you wish, and once they get the card, its fast payment and you never need worry about them doing a charge back or over- clocking the card(s) and wanting a refund after they screw them up (or say your selling junk, lol).

I wouldn't be surprised if it was ebay. They basically have 100% margin to work with so even after fees and other stuff they probably net 75-80% profit. Not a bad business.

He says it more than once. Even says that he would buy a used CPU over a video card due to all the "moving parts" it has compared to a CPU.Listening to the guy and hearing it in context I don’t think you guys are treating what he said fairly.
I don’t think he believes that video cards have moving parts, I think he just means there is a lot that can go wrong. He’s being idiomatic and also couldn’t think of another adjective to describe what he means.

Regardless, his arguments are nonsensical and offers nothing to back them up.
Language is important. The senior and executive editor of a major publication should understand this. If anything, the lack of preparation and editing of the script for this video tells me these two are incompetent and should not be in their respective positions for this magazine. It gives me doubt that anything else published by them is intelligible or trustworthy.I listened to the whole thing. Your argument should also include at least that "he thinks CPU's also have moving parts". Which, I don't think is his position either. But then in addition to that, you should also argue that both of them think this because there was no correction given therefore what's-his-face is complicit.
In short, to reiterate, all he's trying to say is that (in his opinion) GPU's can get abused more and have more that go wrong than CPU's. Whether you believe that is an entirely different topic. But here on this forum we're pedantic enough to argue semantic phrases. Which, sure, I have semantic arguments that I take all the time. As an example: I hate the fact that people around me say "literally" all the time and clearly do not know the definition of literally. But it doesn't deter me from at least understanding what people are trying to say, despite using wrong diction.
Honestly in its current form this thread belongs in GenMay.
Words matter a lot, I agree. However, two things:Language is important. The senior and executive editor of a major publication should understand this.

Cool. Like I just mentioned, these guys aren't for you. And they don't have to be either. You're not their audience. That's okay. But that doesn't mean it's not useful or beneficial for someone else despite not being perfect.It gives me doubt that anything else published by them is intelligible or trustworthy.
man yall are pretty salty at that guy!
These guys are Maximum PC editors or former writers.
