Buying GPU from private party

This might be in the incorrect forum, if it is, I'm sorry. Wasn't sure where to put it.

Good value but i would be careful doing so. Id like to see them working if they are used. Or even if they he says they arent as he could have just put them back in the boxes.

Well he has a picture of them inside of his case, so I assume that we could test it on his computer. What program could I use?

And what of the warranty?

Whatever program you want really, just to make sure they arent broken. Play a game with afterburner running or something, ensure both cards are good too. Seems a bit weird selling two cards after using them for a week. Has he listed a reason for selling?
I would imagine the warrant, I assume that will follow you, as you dont tend to register for them anymore, just have the documentation that came with it, maybe even proof of purchase would help. Id like someone to back me up here before you take my word on it however.

I read up on EVGA. Warranty covers the product, not the purchaser. All I have to do it buy the car, I can RMA from the serial number alone.

He has a picture with three of them in his case, he is selling two. Maybe he realized how stupid he was to tri-sli some 670's.

He has not listed any reason for selling them.

How would I ensure that they are good? Run msi after burner and run something like 3dmark11? What would I be looking for in afterburner, specifically?

I'll text him right now asking him. Like I said, "supposedly" bought them a week ago.

There is also a guy selling a 670 for 340$, still in original plastic. He never opened his RMA(first one died on him) I only needed one, so ill ask him too

What type of 670's are these?

evga...reference i would assume. nothing special about them, just run of the mill 670s

even from this other seller?

If the card breaks you can always RMA it to EVGA. I bought my 560ti 448 cores FTW off of a guy for $150 on craigslist, he didn't register it so I did. It shows up with the 3 year warranty, and if it breaks I can RMA it!

The other seller is selling a pny version . "enthusiast edition"

thats what I was thinking..but this pny has a lifetime warranty and is still inbox new. i think that is worth another 40$..but as long as he hasnt registered the card yet, because lifetime only applies to OP, not second hand buyer.

I would have thought if it was the result of an RMA it would already be under his name.

He needs money for a motorcycle. o.0

I actually confused that with another listing, which was a GTX 680. He bought this card from FRYS, never opened it.

Its your choice, just make sure if you buy somethings thats used you inspect and test it, and see it performing as expected under load.

hell sell them to me for 275 ea
