How to Know if the Graphic card still good?

[wuzlo]

As the Topic already said, I try to find a way to see if the Graphic card still good because a friend of mine wanna buy already used Graphic card.. yes you heard me

he found an GTX 1080 Ti on eBay and it was quite cheap.. but there must be a reason right? .. if something is so cheap cant be good anymore.. long story short:

is there anyway to find out if there graphic card still okay or should he leave it?

 

[gadayum]

take it to someone who will diagnose the card and see if its a real Gtx1080 with the real CPU or just a chinese replica like a gtx 660ti with a case of gtx 1080

if possible then check it, and then buy.
all the cheap things are not bad though it's a graphics card

You should check it often

When you buy it, look at the ratings, comments and the stars that it has perhaps?

 

[wuzlo]

Use msi burner app to check the stats of the gpu and compare it with normal values from the internet

Never buy something for Gaming in eBay.
most of them are scam, many friends are very unhappy with the eBay stuff.

step 1:make sure you have a good system(fast cpu,much ram,good power supply with high
wattage( 500w+ with 80+ certified)
step 2:i used some software to test
+msi afterburner for monitor the temperature and power and the fans
+furmark in about 15min to test, if the temperature graphics card too high(85+) you should apply new thermal paste and vrm+vram thermal pad
+then we test vram with catzilla,3d mark and heaven benmark,AIDA 64 for finding error
step 3:get a 3A game (Shadow of tomb raider,CoD warzone or something super heavy?),Run it and play 1hour+ and monitor the temperature,if it under 85oC and no tearing or crashing,then the card is fine
i always use these way to test old graphic card when i'm going to buy something and it totally very good
(sorry for my bad english)

if you don't experience constant fps drops or lag overall, it is good.
that means if you have smooth fps, there's nothing wrong with the gpu

yeah, but he menas to test it with a tool.

yeah, but he menas to test it with a tool.

then he should use 3dMark and compare the scores to the gpu average, if is noteably lower than average, it's pretty used.
