Looking at a used evga gtx 680 for a good price and was wondering if there's a way to tell if its good or not other than actually putting it in a test bench and finding out. I know you can tell if capacitors are damaged but other than that is there any way to check for defects that would signal a faulty card? Guy has good reviews on the app and said its just been a used card he pulled to upgrade from but would like to know definitively before handing over cash
Edit: 30 for the gpu and 20 for a HDD. Was gonna pair it with a i7 2600k and have a decent budget build from 2012 lol.
 
Solution
Definite "good price" I'm questioning for a card that old what "good" means. If it's under $75 then it's probably a decent deal.

Otherwise, observe photos of the card, maybe ask for a video of the card running, if you're gonna meet in person, try to ask and see if you can see it demo'd first.
