So like an idiot with money to burn I've been looking at used 1080ti's and RTX 2070 cards. In general I keep coming across used 1080ti's that were on mining duty, which I'm not really interested in at the $500+ price point. So I started looking around at 2070's. For the most part, they are overpriced, but there are several I found under $500. So I know the 1080ti is like 10% faster, but for same or less money than a used up miner, I could get a new card with a warranty. I actually found a really decent deal for even less, and almost pulled the trigger, but then I started googling for reviews of Gigabyte RTX 2070 cards. There are quite a few user reviews indicating they are getting the space invaders or BSOD crashing. I thought this was limited to RTX 2080 or 2080ti but I guess not.
So does anyone here have firsthand knowledge of a 2070 failure?
I have a 1070 and I'm itching to make the jump to 4k and I know the 1070 can do it but will not be optimal. If I could sell my 1070 and upgrade for under two hundy, I don't think that would be a terrible upgrade. Unless I'm buying a time bomb... my 1070 has been rock solid since day 1.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks
For those interested, this is one of the cards I was looking at (but not at this price or store) : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...&cm_re=GV-N2070WF3-8GC-_-14-932-091-_-Product
Look at the reviews, lots of crash complaints
edit - also I haven't seen any updates on resolutions for the 2080 problems other than people just getting RMAs for same cards and likely same problems? I know Kyle has a deep dive project running, but haven't read any updates on that for a while.
