Why the hell would you want to buy a used gpu that’s been burnt through its lifespan by an AI or crypto bro?

That’s a bad, horrible idea.

Won't the price of all gpus go down when they're not all being snatched up for mining?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely! New ones will be much cheaper, and that’ll be awesome.

But the used gpu market has been trash since crypto mining became a thing. Not worth the money to buy something that’s been worked to within an inch of its EOL.

I'll never buy used tires, underwear or gpus haha

For a lemon? Cheap is still too expensive.
