Is it worth buying 1080 ti amp extreme edition for 2.9k with age less than a year complete set with everything and not mining unit..

Or just using my 1070 strix oc ?
because im not a hardcore gamer and play with FULL HD monitor only..

First check if the card has been used for heavy mining or if the BIOS has been modified. Ask for screen shot of GPU-Z from seller.

If everything is good and warranty checks out, it's a pretty good deal.

how do I determine the BIOS has been modified or not? Any references?

You can see from the screen shots of GPU-Z for the BIOS revision.

Full hd monitor and only gaming? Not worth it unless your monitor refresh rate is high.. unless u go up in screen refresh rate or resolution 1070ti i think is more than enough

You can but once the BIOS has been flashed the warranty will be void.

If they flashed back the original firmware, can we tell from the GPU-Z screenshot? I don't think miners will be stupid enough to sell their GPU with mining firmware still in tact unless they are honest people who will actually advertise it as an ex-mining card.
