says not used for mining, 12 available. hmmmm
what does mining do to a card anyway besides shorten its lifespan? is there a way to see how many hours the card has logged like you can with ssds?

You just want to know so you can erase it I'm not telling

Why would you get that dumpster card when you can get a 3060 ti for 100 more

>buying a mid tier graphics card
no thanks

Is it a good upgrade going from a 2070 to a 1080ti?

The 3090s aren't any better

that's a downgrade

>what does mining do to a card anyway besides shorten its lifespan?
god i hate retarded gamers that spout this bullshit

would you rather-
a card that has been kept cool, undervolted, regularly cleaned and thermal paste/pads replaced, running high efficiency algorithims
OR
a card that had been choked for air, full of dust, overclocked as far as it can go, power cycled multiple times per day and running stupudly uniptomised loads

think for more than five seconds, please

>affordable again
Because they're about to be so old they don't make sense for the sale price.

You can go ahead and spend $400 for a 1080Ti and see how the $400 4000 and 7000s make it look like a joke in less than 6 months.

i am not the only one that has multiple gpus.
not all of us throw them away (i did throw away few tho, no space to store them) or sell them to buy a new one.
oldest ones are from 2010 and they still work.

nobody, except complete retards, is going to buy your cryptomining crap.

coping miningfags are the most pathetic thing I have ever witnessed.

>actually believing GOU manufacturer propoganda
if you had even the slighest idea of how this technogy worked, youd know im right

the whole mining reselling controversy happened because retarded people were jumping on the mining bandwagon and killing cards by not undervolting them and leaving them hot as hell

2017 was a weird time

>blower 1080ti
Noped the fuck out, this is a bad idea and you will hate yourself.

Hell no. If you need a card NOW buy 6600/3060, if you can wait 6 months, buy a 7600/4060.

>regularly [...] thermal paste/pads replaced
The only retard are you. You don't have to change paste or pads on a 5 years old card. Especially not regularly.

Don't have 100$

Whatever you say, coping faggot

>-50mv
>+2000mhz memory
>kept cool
topkek

Why buy 1080ti when i can get 6600xt for 50 bucks more

Wtf since when is an rx 580 faster than a 980 ti

RX5700 here, bought it for 350€, what should I buy which would be significant upgrade ? Run at 4K, I am in no rush, even would wait for 50xx series.

Since the begone era of AMD FineWine™ technology.
