Should I buy a used GPU off Ebay or wait for a drop from Massdrop?

more_vert
I am currently shopping for a new GPU, I recently bought a EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid off Ebay only to find it was actually a EVGA GTX 1070 Hybrid with a 1080 backplate and a modified bios. I got the refund and Ebay sorted everything out but I am wary of Ebay now and looking for new options. Does Massdrop sell at low enough prices to justify buying instead of a used card and if so what ones would you recommend? I am primarily shopping for Pascal cards since Turing is a bit of a let down IMO. (just for reference I am currently running an RX 480 and it isn't cutting it for me.) Thanks in advance.

I got a 1080ti for 600$ from massdrop and they still sell new for 1000$. There is always a chance you can find a good used deal depending on how hard you are willing to search and wait.

I haven't seen a 1080 drop on here for a while. One thing you can do is request the old 1080 drops, that way you get an email notification if it comes back. Graphics cards drops on here aren't like a constant thing. I know you want a 1080 but there are some good deals on 1070's (under $300). Have you check the PC sales subreddit?

erickongPascal is no longer being manufactured. Unfortunately you're hosed even at the used market because Nvidia can afford to do nothing due to lack of competition. Here's hoping Navi can bring something good to the table.
