Im building a gaming pc because Ive just got Rome 2. Do you think its a good idea to get a 7950 previously used for mining, or are they just gonna die on me?


On a related note, I have a Sapphire 7950 that I've been using from April-end of July if you're interested  Smiley

What u looking to get out of it?

Also, what is the cond.?

Truly, it's still in pretty good shape. It's got some dust on it, but the fans still spin really well, and the card still performs like brand new. It was run in Michigan over May-June-July, never pushed over 80C, the fans rarely hit >75%. It overclocks very well also, past 1150MHz engine with zero problems (I've seen several people going to 1200 bumping up the voltage and going for a different cooler).

As far as price goes, whatever you're willing to pay really; I understand that the card's been used for mining and not for regular everyday usage. PM me and we can discuss further.
