i have a question about used gtx660 graphics card.
I live in sri lanka and my local pc market is full of foreign used parts and systems. these days local shops started selling 500,600 series gtx gpus which are imported from foreign countries. is it safe to buy a graphics card used in a overseas country?

Is it worth to invest in a gtx 660(not ti version) or shall I invest in a slightly used gtx 750 2gb? i'm currently using gt 730 ddr5 and i'm also eying the newly announced gt 1030 ddr5 aswell,

So which gpu should I really invest on gtx660,750 or the gt 1030 ddr5?

thanks
 
Solution
Most GPUs will last many years with no problems.

I would ask if you can see it running a benchmark like Unigine Valley to check it works.

I would also be replacing the thermal paste straight away also.

Is it safe to buy a foreign used gpu? anyway it should be safer than pulling a one from ebay because it's from a local shop and I can get a 3-6 month warrenty.
will those gpu hold up for at least 8 months? i'm going to build a new pc in near future so this is for short term use of course
