Is it a good deal the ratio between gtx 1060 6gb and gtx 1070second use is 7:8 so it isn't that expensive or too cheap. As said it comes with 2 years waranty.

Oh I thought you were responding to the other guy's post on checking on something. If you feel comfortable with the seller and the warranty is transferable I'd go ahead and get it. By the way that website you linked below times out for me. I'm in the US so maybe it's on my end.

Can you clarify? A ratio is not cost, so can't tell you whether or not it's a good deal; 8/7th of a terrible deal may be worse than 11/7th of an excellent one.

Also, where exactly are you getting a two-year warranty with a used GPU, assuming "second use" is referring to used?
 
So you are in Bulgaria. First, the manufacturer warranty may or not be transferable to a second owner. You'll have to check with them on that. Even more so, you'll have to check if their warranty is valid in Eastern European nations. Not all are the last I checked. I assume you mean use being 7:8 as in quality or condition as in 7 out of 8?

Nope, I'd stay away from this 1070. I can't translate the image, but I don't know of *any* website offering a warranty on their own that will happily let you transfer it to another seller. And as for the manufacturer's warranty, if this had been an EVGA GPU, they're known for being flexible about warranties on used parts if you have the serial number. A lot of companies are not though.

I wouldn't put any value into this mystery warranty. I don't think the chances that anyone would ever honor it are very good, nor do I trust the condition from someone who may very well have been mining with it. I'd just get the 1060 new and save all this risk.
