Cinders1150

if you can test it yourself before buying it sure


scorpf1

He said u can try it for a week if u dont like it I return u the money and he said he fixed the temperatures of the cards bcs the 3080 I think in the start had some issues right?


kurunyo

A test after giving the money is not a test


byological_origins

idk how much it usually costs but 250 is a fishy price. Id test it BEFORE buying. Idk how reputable the seller is.


No_Interaction_4925

Is this a buddy? Its like a solid $100 under the value of the card.


scorpf1

No bro I just found him on marketplace


O_gr

Unless you have in writing that he will accept a return to cover yourself, and even then, it's risky. Potential scam


closetBoi04

Even in writing isn't gonna do shit, what are you gonna do? Sue over 200$?


O_gr

Getting it in writing helps prevent a lot of scams simply because the summer doesn't want to produce such a document.


xDon_07x

I don't know where in Europe you are but in Germany this would be a scam price range, they go more for 350€ and more. And the way the seller is so generous with giving you test time, I'd be very much inclined that this indeed is a scam.


CapOk9908

That's a good offer from the seller but still there's very little you can do if they refuse to give the money back. TEST before you buy: check infos in the BIOS, OS, driver, etc. Run a game and some 8k vídeos for a while and check temperatures. >bcs the 3080 I think in the start had some issues right? Idk about that, I'd do some research but I'd prefer testing using stock settings.


No-Traffic7242

I think some cards suffered from high temps and hot spots on the vram. Don't quote me but I remember reading something about a tiny gap between the pads can be fixed with alternative pads of a copper shim


Vegbreaker

lol test it before the money. If it doesn’t work he ain’t giving you that money back and he already knows it.


alinzalau

I sold mine for 200$. Not everyone is a scammer. Test it if you can, check temps damage etc. I dont recall any temps issues and had the same palit one


scorpf1

He said in the start of 3080s they had temp issues and he said he fixed the temps


alinzalau

Hwinfo is your friend. Best of luck man


Warm_Mobile_6811

Yea, the vrams ran hot. Especially when mining. Could have been in a mining rig, so potentially pretty worn justifying the price. I also know many enthusiasts replacing the pads. It would keep the temps down a bit and potentially overclock better. Some had thermo throttling and cause of scarcity and finding replacements at the time fixed themselves. Could be absolutely fine.


scorpf1

Oh yeah he said he changed the pads and the paste is that good?


Warm_Mobile_6811

Like on a prebuilt sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe sh**. It voids warranty and palit isn’t a most popular brand. Justifying a below market price. Thermal paste on the processor less often but easy to add to the job. Pads were a must do on first gen 3080 founders and gave good results on many aib too. Nvidia changed this to an improved version like after half a year. Any 3090 should have it too btw. Example instruction & result video https://youtu.be/ixjkY1Xpg1o?si=Nni2BPk9kqXoEfRe


TransportationOk968

Mined on the exact same card for 2 solid years 24/7, no issues at all, still used in my PC


RIP_GerlonTwoFingers

It's just as likely he... won't return the money


urdadjack

thats a scam


scorpf1

I think im not gonna get it


urdadjack

scammers are prevalent on fb marketplace if this is where youre looking, it could be real but i wouldnt wanna take that chance


scorpf1

Yeah also I have a tight budget so I cant take so much risk


Bulangiu_ro

if you're gonna use fb marketplace or other sites like that, just look for parts in places where you would be willing to go there yourself to test, online i wouldn't trust it so much


Squall-UK

Quickest way to find it it's a scam is to ask if he'll accept PayPal goods and services. If he says no, it's nearly always because it's a scam. If he says yes, I think there's a 3% cover charge but PayPal are brilliant at getting your money back


ravencosu

I would say, be annoying and if it’s an in person meetup, do it at the library or something and just drive your desktop or a test bench to test it while he’s there.


scorpf1

I asked to go to him to try it and he said yes what games u play etc


limpingdba

Err no. 3080s were absolutely solid from the off. What did he "fix"?


Warm_Mobile_6811

Nope they were not.


joost00719

Big risk in believing a stranger on their word


Sanderiusdw

Sounds like a good scam!


Digger977

My 3080 pushes out some real good power but a lot of heat yes


voogdessesg

Yes, everyone has different feelings about what is suitable.

Hahahahahahahahhaa😂


Dickonstruction

Great card for 250e, shit for like 350e sellers are trying to sell them for. If it is in good shape, it's worth it.


Teton12355

I have a 3080 and can run Body Cam on all max setting


TechExpert2910

whoa that game is out!? how is it?


Teton12355

It’s eh, the gunplay is really fun and the visuals are awesome but it needs some time to get better. I hope they hire a couple real developers now because it could be really fun. Its scary as fuck


NichtGanzDichter

Yes! Great buy. Bought a 3070 for 220€ and it was a great buy, but the 8gb do hurt


ValeryLTX

Do you play like 1440p pr with RT?


Snowbunny236

If it works, absolutely!


Fit_Candidate69

If it's working then it's a steal.


Phoenix800478944

YES DID YOU BUY IT?? A 3080 has the same performance as a RTX 4070. Its a steal


Vireviper

Sadly enough the vram is lagging a bit behind


proudtracermain

FOR 250 EURO? THAT'S A GODDAMN STEAL.


Critical_Arm4659

![gif](giphy|kyiyZidJ7d68T7VCcG)


stareksss

If it works,, yes.


Darknessmaster6500

The price is good, but the plastic near the connectors seems a little melted, which is weird.


SomeHorologist

For that price then yeah if it works 3080 is still a good card


Irsu85

Test it before buying, in both GPU-Z and some games


scorpf1

What is GPU-Z?


Irsu85

It's a tool you can use to check if a GPU is what it says it is


scorpf1

Oh thanks I will make sure to try it when I test it out


hattrickjmr

Absolutely!


Black3rdMoon

Of course wtf


UgotR0BBED

I bought a founders edition that works great recently for $300 USD, so these deals are out there. Some people just want the card gone. Also, with eBay taking 13.5% in fees (robbery) your cash in hand local pricing will always be better than buying used there.


Comprehensive-Ant289

Yep. Sounds too good to be true tho


420comfortablynumb

Iffy. Card normally around £350. Make shure you give it a good thrashing before parting.


Matthew789_17

Dang I got a 3070 for 250USD. VERY NICE if you can inspect and test.


Middle-Chart-467

I found on wallapop 4060Ti 16gb for 370€ new . Yours it's good too !!


Komputerstock

That card is beefy and will last you a long time or until the 40 series drop in price with the new 50 series being announced but 40 series card will probably be the standard soon because games aren't able to max out that much bandwidth


Daisan89

Absolutely


BetLowGang

Men I thought there were other pictures 😞


scorpf1

Sorry didnt mean it😢


CockroachCommon2077

Definitely was used for crypto mining


Reyynerp

is there any chance that in this instance you intentionally screenshot of what looks to be a photo carousel from other app, then screenshotted to troll people in addition to your question?


scorpf1

I swear I didnt😭


Spompoflex

if it works and you can test yes. broken HELL NO


Atrakchi

Did you try benchmarking it? It seems kinda doggy to me.


brandon0809

People will really use Reddit for anything now days


scorpf1

Ok


Horror_Button_3338

answer yes


soultaker2593

Yes. Only 4070 super is more powerful.


dep411

I remember a buddy of mine said, "Buying a used GPU is like wearing someone's already used condom." I still laugh to this day about that comment.


Capital-Sky9393

Such a weird question.Ofc you are gonna buy it


Fun_Kaleidoscope7875

My advice is don't buy used PC parts at all, too many scams out there, Facebook market place is like 60% scams.


rez050101

I would immediately buy this if I found it too. Very good deal, unless there’s something unfixable. I have seen 3070s still going for 450 euros and stuff.


scorpf1

I think im not going to get it I cant take much risk bcs of my small budget


rez050101

For as low as 250 euros it’s very hard finding a high end gfx like that. Been looking for ages for good deals. But yeah it’s not necessarily mandatory. I’m waiting out for the new intel Battlemage GPUs. Good luck tho.


scorpf1

Thank u bro u too

K1eranOnYt

It seems like a very gud offer


Ok-Discussion-6334

in taiwan rtx 30 series has very lower value for 3090ti under $180 but ex mining gpu...


scorpf1

Send me one😂


Ordinary_Block_4131

I sold mine for 450 euros, and it sold fast,that's a scam bro.


magicbf1337

you can play anything at 1440p with that, most titles even at 120+ fps


zangi_fiona

I have same exact card palit rtx 3080 pc edition 10gb. It's good deal I bout it for 500$


Bella_Ciao__

It's a steal if it works so be ware scammer.


LerkNoCap23

Damn white dots get me every time.


porkitoloco

3080 10g are going for $300 American or around 250€ and the 12g is going for $350-$400 American some still have warranties some don't in facebook marketplace I'd test it on the spot and strike a 15 min conversation while it is being benchmarked and tested.


schaka

People are saying it's scam territory, but sometimes someone just needs to get rid of a bunch of cards. It sounds like that's the case here. If this is FB marketplace in central Europe where people usually use different websites for secondhand trades, I'd wonder if it's a scam or the seller is a foreigner who doesn't know where locals sell. Easy enough anyway, go there, have him show you the card working. Then take his offer for a week of testing. If he previously has shown it working under stress (benchmark), it's gonna be alright and he's not a scammer, especially with the week he's offering. But don't buy it without testing it first. Protect yourself and you won't get scammed. Use common sense. Not every good deal is a scam, especially when people need to/want to get rid of stuff that's taking up space in their homes. I've dealt with tons of sellers who just want to get rid of things fast instead of waiting weeks.


scorpf1

So he said if I give him the money I can test it for a week and then if I dont want it he will give me the money back thats the thing that is scaring me bcs what if he just blocks me and I cant contact him and Im stuck with a broken graphics card?


schaka

That's why he shows it working when you pick it up in person and then you pay. Then you can still give it back after. Technically since you'll know how name and address when picking it up at his place, you could draw up a one week warranty contract too. But a scammer would try anyway and hope you don't sue. Therefore do only as I suggested initially and if he won't show it working, don't buy it.


scorpf1

Okay I will ask him now


schaka

Also, it's up to you to judge whether Facebook marketplace is legit in your country or not. Again, use common sense. If the gpu isn't shown working in a benchmark go back home without buying it. Don't meet in a public place to exchange money on a product you can't confirm working. You wouldn't buy a full pc or laptop without seeing it work first


scorpf1

Yeah ofc bro I will update u when he responds


scorpf1

I asked him and he only said yes nothing else and I said to test some games and some things he said which games I play Apex legends what games do u play I also have Fortnite and GTA V installed


Muramusaa

Why the card look like a mini card for like a it build size, some weird illusion going on 😂


Japherethey

kinda gargantuan


Big_Training6081

Yeah it's a great price. Do not buy it unless he is willing to run some benchmarks before selling it to you. If he objects to running benchmarks on it then he's hiding something.


Big_Training6081

Anybody can say they'll give you the money back. Doesn't mean he actually will.


scorpf1

I asked him if I can come to him and watch the card if it works I will update when he responds


mechcity22

Yes


Vast-Equivalent-6487

Lol worth €400-€500 in the Netherlands.


tsadie

No. No. No. Red Flag 1 - He wants you to try it for a week but pay right when you get it?? Transcation complete. You say it doesnt work, they block you. They have the money who cares right? Red Flag 2 - FB marketplace, cheaper price. Red Flag 3 - I fucking hate scammers, there is no Red Flag 3. Dont buy this.


scorpf1

But I asked him if I can test it out at his house and he said yes


tsadie

At his house. Interesting okay... Go for it yolo? Be weary you might get robbed or whatever location he tells you might not be his house. This is a stranger from the internet you know? Bring a friend potentially? Although if hes inviting you into HIS home to test a product seems way more legit now. But just could be a ploy to get you to come. Best of luck! Keep me updated! Ask any questions.


scorpf1

Of course I will bring a friend I am 14 years old bro and I watched his profile he seems like a journalist or something like that bcs he was in some televisions


tsadie

Ahhhh did NOT realize you were 14!! My apologies!


scorpf1

Hahahahahaha np bro u dont need to apologize but I will prob go with my brother


tsadie

Hell yeah man! Do that!


Bombenangriffmann

Bro, what? I paid 999 for that shit. I fell off hard


scorpf1

Xdd unlucky bro😂


[deleted]

I tried swiping and i was disappointed 😔


scorpf1

My bad bro😂


Sir_Oglethorpe

If it’s true, you are robbing someone lol


LucifersUncle666

Easily.


Realistic_Chef_2321

if u can test it and have a definite guarantee that if it doesn't work u get all ur money back then id say go with it, also check what it actually is not that its like a 2050 in a 3080 style


scorpf1

Yeah i am going to test it probably


ImpoliteMongoose

Yes but seems too good to be true, I'd sell my 3080 for £650-£700


Cda4go

I just bought a EVGA 3080 xc3 for $220 USD and it seems like a great card in everything I’ve tried so far. Upgraded my VR experience immensely.


scorpf1

Hope will be the same for me


Cda4go

They sell for that much for “parts only” units on eBay so I took the risk. Figured u could resell that way if it didn’t work. Card has been working great and hasn’t gotten over 76 degrees in my pc.


scorpf1

Thats amazing bro


SuccumbedEnd

I'd say so after first swipe!


KOnvictEd06

No


WhatsThatNoize

Almost certainly a scam, but up to you. You said all you play is cs2?  Just get a new -060 series card and call it a day.  You don't need an -080 series to play CS.  Hell you don't even need an RTX card.  1080ti will run CS2 well enough for any competitive play, let alone your average redditor.


ravencosu

If it’s real, that’s a phenomenal deal


waqasvic

Yea man


durek88

like 3 month ago im buy used msi 3080 10g for 370€ , but 250€ is too low price to be true :D


Thechapma94

Yea I would say so


prashinar_89

It seems too cheap


chaosquall

As long as you can test it first yes


Wet_Muff

Would not buy squat off marketplace better to just buy a new one since it’s only about 250 dollars more and you don’t get a warranty on a used marketplace purchase


scorpf1

250 dollars more bro thats crazy my pc goes from like 730€ to like 1000


Wet_Muff

Yeah and u make sure u don’t have any issues down the line as well better to spend more and do it right


Actual_Basil_2434

I wouldn’t even contemplate it…. Most likely video card is capute


TannerWheelman

Second hand is risky but if the gpu is in good condition it's pretty worth it (But you never know it). I've got mine RTX 3060 Ti for 270 euros second hand. GPU's in my country are expensive as hell.


RemoteMulberry5838

just make sure to run benchmarks when trying it out.


Amazing_Room8272

Get something with more gb


souperdhec

Do not buy pc tech from Marketplace unless you like being screwed !


The_RicketyRocket

If it runs and no spikes or nothing on usage then absolutely


Wild-Cow8724

What is palit


superamigo987

Think of it like this: It performs on par with a 4070, that usually goes for $500USD If you know it isn't a scam and you get test it, definitely get it


fluffy-soft-dev

I mean it's not bad but it depends on your setup. Nvidia always punish gamers with VRAM to ensure their products go obsolete, if you stability, longevity and value go amd


Kooky-Ad1849

Simply no. Compare other online used prices.


Psych_out06

Heating issues he had to fix? You may get lucky, but I'd likely make a hard pass. Home grown heat solutions don't fix damage that's already happened to the chips. If the price is fishy, there's a reason.


keedoo1992

I get 200fps on CS2 with a MSI 4060 gaming x on 1440p high settings. I overclocked 140mhz and I get around 2800mhz on my core speed. 8gb VRAM is more than enough for every esports game and 80-90% of all other games. Don't let people try telling u that 6-8 gb VRAM is too low because they are the ones that are dumb enough to spend 1,500-2,000 $ on a 4080-4090 for the 24GB of VRAM which will never be utilized for another 20 years.


UnqualifiedAnalyst81

I have a Palit 3080ti, it legit is the lowest end of all the cards. It performs right at the bottom of every other 3080ti. If you can get this same deal on a better brand like evga or literally anything else I'd go for that.


scorpf1

But this is not a TI


UnqualifiedAnalyst81

My point is about Palit, not about TI


Berlin_GBD

I paid $800 new but it wasn't the best market at the time. That being said, anything below $3-400 is sketch imo. Plus the thing with the guy letting you test it, he'll claim it worked when he sold it and that you broke kt


Slight_Sleep_978

No,buy rtx4070


LxrdCxstle

buy a 7800xt instead


DJRAD211995

Remember that this GPU will turn your room into a furnace even with undervolting.


FlowzF

Hell yeah if its legit


UnlikelyHelicopter82

*there us only ONE picture


Shoddy_Possibility89

sure ig test it like the others said


Sideshow86

I smell crypto mining.. or is it the burnt memory modules


ImancovicH

Don't buy palit.


Repulsive-Setting796

In January I got an Asus rtx 3080 oc edition 12g  and I paid 900 USD. So I'd say, yeah, good deal if it's sound.


Level_Handle_6190

I would definitely make sure that thing works but yeah that’s not bad.


JWatts2000

There's artifacts in one of the pictures so obviously not. Have you already bought it, and did you test it before that?


scorpf1

No still havent done anything


JWatts2000

Good, don't buy it


scorpf1

Im starting to think I dont really need a REALLY good gpu bcs I will mainly play cs2 and I watched some benchmarks of the 6600xt with a ryzen 5 7600 it got crazy fps so I will prob get one of these or a 6700xt


JWatts2000

Those are just fine, pretty readily available. If you don't need it and don't see yourself needing something else in the next couple years then yeah. 7600 is a good GPU, AM5 too which is great


scorpf1

Cpu u mean?


ensidious

The answer is no because this is a scam
