A Reminder to all GPU Buyer

New/Used.
The Proper method to test a CARD is

Furmark.
Because this test is so intensive that THE TEST ITSELF "DEGRADE" The Card.
ONLY "FULL HEALTH" GPU can past the test.
TIPS:

Dont over DO the test " Pro-long"

Under intense load.
all the VRM, RAM, FAN, GPU are 100% tested.
i buy/sell alot used/mining gpu
i know.

some GPU only can perform normal 65%... as long as you dont over do....
once over do.... Blue.

kalao sudah tahu GPU anda tak boleh tahan 1 week warranty
jangan bagi warranty.
new or used, we expect to buy a usable Card.
not trash.
Lain kali be honest.

[wts] RTX 470
No warranty.

But why would you hold the money and at that sum?

What other effort can I do? I don't have other pc to test. Returning is the best thing I can do.
You keep on saying expert. I am no expert, and I never said so.
Doubt. You will accuse me of ruining your card.

So you want me to reinstall windows?
How do i reinstall windows when there is no video output?
To isolate windows, booting with linux is the best.

This may not have started off as a scam, but as of now, it has turned to a scam by a racist seller.

Do observed on the whatsapp pic 8 (@PGV3910 stated he will refund upon receiving the card without conditions) and pic 10 (the start of racist rant by @PGV3910 ).
The scam argument is further reinforced by @PGV3910 threat of false claims  "if not ok..i accuse u ruins my card". Furthermore, after receiving the card back and by own admittance the card is fine, choose not to refund.

Bro  PGV3910, your reputation of many years in this forum is only worth RM 200 with the racist rant?

eitherway, selamat berpuasa.

tribunal jer bro.... since refund rm50.  a bit overated as a seller. as he recieve it back in good condition. if want sell, act like want to sell/let go with humble la... rm50 refund as a lesson way to good. hope u get back your money.

i am expert.

a 70% healthy GPU can boot, can play games.
as long as the affected component is not touch.

that is why in pro-longed usage, some GPU failed. ( not fail immiediately at POST )
the affected component can be RAMDAC, VRM.

now, GPU in your hand, RM200 also in your hand
Your Integrity, Honour, Honesty are all gone
for just RM200, u willing to sell these.
Just RM200....

Worth ??
If you want teach him a lesson, many way to do it.
but illegally kept the money not belong to you is another story.

can i say, i want to teach this girl a lesson, so i rape her??

is this kind of logic a norm among your people??

Too small amt to go court. Get a tribunal, viral this guy online in as many social media with paid sponsorship including personal details (ask lawyer's opinion on repurcussions) and get your money back. See if he can still hold face or money at that point. Don't post nor talk too much. Act on it.

Search seller past sales posts, seems like a legit seller. Some of the GPU (ie 7900) he did mentioned sometimes problematic and sell as semi-faulty. The GTX1060 he mentioned modified a fan using cable ties.

I think in general, the most annoying thing whenever buying used PC hardware is GPU and RAM. It is so hard to prove the parts would work 100% all the time. That's the risk one would have to take whenever buying used pc parts.

I think this could be communicated better on both sides. Seller dont necessary have to bear the responsibility of guaranteeing the compatibility part for the buyer. Could have ask buyer to test the card on another PC (different motherboard) to prove card is faulty. On the seller part, should have return the money once he agreed with TS to return the card and receive it in working condition.

Bought GPU in the past and yeah, sometimes the card would boot just fine. After long hours, the pc would just restart. At first, I even swapped ram, but in the end, changing the GPU solved the problem. That's part of the risk I'm willing to take when buying a used GPU. Hence nowadays, I wont even buy used GPU over RM200. Just not worth it when things go south.
