Hello people.
I'm looking to build a new gaming PC, and I'm stuck between these 2 options. I can get a used Sapphire R9 290 which had been used in mining, or a new ASUS GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2GB. The new GTX 770 is about 4% more expensive than the used 290.
I need the card to be durable and I just don't want it dying on me in the next 2 years.
Is there any way to be 100% sure about the quality of the used VGA? Especially on a hot card like 290.
Thanks =)
