i got a used rx 580, 8gb vram for $130 LMAO
apparently it was used for cryptomining but w/e
had to use long-nose pliers to straighten out some stuff but it seems to be working good

was concerned when it said microsoft basic display @ first but it seems to have configured itself after 15min of powering on my pc

vkool

i realized, but since I saw at the very least, one purchase from some guy who actually paid over $200 for a gpu, and had a positive feedback from him, I just set aside my judgments...and GAMBLED

and all i had to straighten up was

been working fine for now.  tfw so happy with it

lol you willin' bro. 580s been hittin $150 or so pretty regularly, i probably woulda went with that for the peace of mind with a new new for $20 more, but if youre strapped for cash i get it. hope it works well for a long time cuz them mining cards been put through their paces i tell u wut

6M69I69B9

well i did try to find one for $150 but was always finding them at like $180/$200 lmao
hell i even asked here some time ago what i could do with $150
RIP

w/e, its fine for now.  it's slightly cooler than that gtx 760 i had lmao
and plus im not truly demanding w/ it, i mean im just gonna be playing dbd at ultra/high for the most part w/ it
the most modern game im ever gonna play with it, is blair witch lol

tfw you guys were right about being sketchy
tfw gambling on a used gpu was too good to be true, esp used for crypto

one of the fans fell out while i was streaming.  i didnt really give a shit bc i was streaming and plus i was just using the elgato and not playing dbd or anything on pc.  i couldnt even look then.  but before i went to sleep, i noticed it fell off, and i was just so disappointed

but anyway yeah so umm i put it back on and it seems like it's staying in.  but it's protruding out a bit more than the other fan inside, and im scared of it falling again

tfw i just wanted to play on a gpu with no issues.  being broke sux. 
i might just go back to that shit ass gtx 760 if things dont get better

i just messaged the seller so it's gonna be a while before i can get a reply

damn bro that sux, i hope u get a response/refund but tommy might be right lol

but yea crypto cards are a damn crapshoot, especially if no TLC went into refurbing them. its a card that runs at max capacity for months, 24/7, so its not super surprising to see one literally fall apart.

maybe a tru pc repair store could fix the fan properly if u got one near u? idk lol might be more than its worth tho

it's just that one fan, everything else has been fine.  cleaned it before i put it back in at the very least.

tried prying it out myself, and couldn't pull it out
then i played dbd on max settings and it hasn't been coming out...for now LMAO

darksouls

If he doesn't message you back, get a refund directly through Paypal.

6M69I69B9

ok so he actually responded back, and he told me to pm him to see how it preforms after pushing it back in
fell down again eventually lmao
the thing is i tried prying it out myself and it wouldn't budge when i put it back the first time.  guess it happens over time

if shit goes down im just gonna do the refund
tfw i actually wanted it to work

just wanna play dbd with no flaws (at least on my end, dbd is known for being a mess sometimes lmao)

lol so i returned it
tbh i didnt mind if only the fan didnt fall out LMAO

ok but now i dont mind going with new now that ive saved enough and can afford it.  but still wanna save $$ if i can

just gonna go around browsing for rx580s/90s.  but does vram rly make a difference if all im gonna do is play dbd at ultra and stream games?  i do ok with my gtx 760 for now lol, so maybe getting 4gb models wont be so bad?

EDIT:
wait actually
that msi rx580 i had was so damn hot i thought my shit was gonna succumb to flames
and noticed power consumption is terrible

i might opt for a gtx 1060
but anybody know better sites than ebay/amazon?  i found one for $200

EDIT EDIT:
i bought a used zotac gtx 1060 for $157
seller claims to have used it only a few weeks- has the original box at the very least
lol fk it im down
guy has more feedback than the former seller too

ok so i bought an i5 9400f damnnn lmao
installed it

had issues with powering up my pc as a whole
until i learned- after plugging in back and forth the main power connector and the f panel cables again and again, that i can just take out the cable for the power switch and literally stick a screwdriver in it for a second so it can boot up

the thing is, lmao what is my next step to make things back to normal??? i dont want to use my screwdriver to turn it on every time

also, the gtx 1060 is so much better on temperature and sound wise holy shit, that rx 580 was steaming hot shit
