but what if he was meant for mining what if he wanted to be a miner. But now he's forced to game.

Kudos to the seller for being honest about how the GPUs were used for mining. Most GTX 1070s on eBay are sketchy at best
Many proper mining systems ran the GPUs tuned for them, usually miners underclocked/posibly undervolted the core and overclocked the VRAM and try to aim for best efficiency
Yeah these cards should be far from prone to failure, as proper miner's cards will have less wear and tear than an enthusiastic gamer's card.
@Nevercholt Tech Thankfully that's an easy fix.
I have two 1080 ti that i buy very cheap because they were used for minning, anyways the owner used this twins in a undervolted and underclocked enviroment and there you have it, 6 months of work at 120% tdp like the first day
@@CheffBryan, if that you can get replacement-fans that is...
then it's an easy fix
@@brrebrresen1367 They're all over the internet, and changing out a cooler with good fans is possible for most cards. Sometimes, there are many solutions!
Picked up a 1050 Ti that was mined on. Seller neglected to note that they flashed a different BIOS on it. Tried flashing back myself but bricked it because Gigabyte cards can't be flashed backwards. Luckily it was under warranty and the RMA department reflashed it for me. Working like a champ now.
It's kind of like buying a high mileage used car.
Can it be good, and still last you for a long time? Sure.
Can it break down in a month or two? Yes, that too.
Not quite, this card is only one year old and must still be under warranty
not necessarily...if they modded the bios for undervolting then the warranty is voided
@@christianpervert525 then you just put the original bios back on the card

I picked up a Red Devil RX580 8GB that was an ex-miner and got a great deal on it. Runs flawlessly and looked like it had barely been out of the retail box. There's really nothing wrong with ex-mining cards as long as you ask questions and use a bit of care before committing your money to it. There's always going to be a bit of risk, but that's true of buying anything used.

Glad it worked out. I bought one of these brand new about a year ago and I am loving it.
Thing about mining cards is that the steady workload that mining provides is actually a lot easier on the GPU than the load fluctuations that are seen in heavy gaming.
may heaven bless that miner on eBay who was willing to give me an amazing deal on a 1080. evga warranty ftw - not that i've ever had to file a claim. It's been two or three months and still going strong with no issues :)
don't even bother to test AC Odyssey. The optimization is really bad and the results won't be accurate.

Mining card won't perform worse than a non mining card. A mining card, especially its VRAM modules and capacitors, will however die prematurely. Capacitors are easy to replace, but dead VRAM means the card is dead. That being said, 24/7 mining will only shorten the lifetime of such card by a negligible difference. Let's say a card that spend its life gaming, will last 5-8 years, a mining card would go 4-6 years perhaps. But there is not guarantee. TL; DR: If you can get very good deal on a used gfx card, go for it.
EDIT: Dying VRAM will show artifacts on the screen before the card stops working. Bad capacitors will mean the card will shut down at load.
can we appreciate how clean that slide was at 2:50 ? without mods.....
i noticed in the section with superposition you need to change a setting in your radeon settings to make it perform much better. youll pick up some fps in your games and make assassins creed run a little better. go to your general 3d settings and go to the global watt man tab. scroll down to power control and make sure its up to +20% or +50% whatever your card goes up to. for whatever reason amd made it so cards would throttle gpu usage and clock speeds with it at 0% it doesnt effect your card to turn it up and when using xfire for example the second card will be at like 300 mhz and the main card will only get 50% utilization in some cases if the setting isnt turned up and left at 0%. nobody games to save power and thats all it is like the windows power saving features. any time ur comp crashes thanks to windows youll need to check and reset watt man power settings to +20% or +50% look it up amd watt man power settings and enjoy your games how they were intended to be played.

Very solid review, I'm looking for either pair of RX 560, ot RX 570 cards(work, and home PC) with 4GB of RAM as 8GB for the games I play I feel is just overkill, and with less overhead I don't think you need as powerful of hardware if you are using an OS like Xubuntu.

The way you worded that just sounds creepy lol.
This price is very good. And it's even the 8GB version
granted, nothing this card actually has the compute power to do will use up 8gb vram
Well, some miners install custom bios in their mining gpus to increase the hash rate. IDK if that has to do something with the actual gaming performance of the card but I'm curious to see if this card has one of those bios and how it will perform against the default AMD bios.

Hey Random, can you make a video on the intriguing world of aftermarket GPU coolers? I recently bought a used Zotac GTX 1060 6GB Mini ex-mining card, and the cooler on that card is absolutely *horrendous*. It hits 82C after 5 minutes of usage and stays there, leaving absolutely no overclocking headroom. And the fan is annoyingly loud when it ramps up.
The card itself is solid, and runs well, and honestly almost made me cry when I first ran it, because I've been running GPU-less for 4 years now, and haven't played any triple A, graphically demanding games since 2013. The only game I've been playing since last year is Paladins, on my Core i5 6600k's iGPU, because I decided to build my new gaming PC right before the cryptomining craze happened, and right before I was about to buy my first GPU since 2012, prices just skyrocketed, and left me high and dry and suicidal.
So anyway, I've been exploring some solutions to solving this problem and discovered the intriguing world of aftermarket GPU cooling solutions. And one thing I've learned is it's not as popular as it should be, because aftermarket GPU coolers can drastically improve temps, noise and performance, but sadly it seems like this world is pretty much dying. Apart from Arctic there really isn't any other GPU coolers out there. There's the Raijintek Morpheus II, but the fact that they don't supply fans and charge you $70 for their cooler is a no from me. Also while doing some research, I discovered the beastly looking Thermalright shaman that uses a bloody 140mm to cool your GPU, and it looks absolutely monstrous and badass, but it's a 2010 product and I can't seem to find it anywhere for a reasonable price. Which is what I meant when I mentioned the world of GPU coolers slowly dying.
Even Arctic, even though they're the biggest aftermarket GPU cooling solutions, haven't updated their GPU coolers since they've been released. I'm talking about 2010/2011 products sold *to this day* , completely unchanged. I mean I don't really blame them, since their products *still* kick ass, but my god, their GPU coolers look ugly as hell, and I just wished they shipped their GPU coolers with better looking, sleeker fans.
Then there's the even more intriguing solution of just straight up mounting a CPU cooler on your GPU, which I see you've recently been acquainted to. DIY Perk's video on this was pretty entertaining, but still left me with the thought of "this is impractical as shit". So on the topic of mounting CPU coolers on GPUs, could you do another video using a more recent card, and also using a budget low profile 120mm CPU cooler? In my honest opinion I think that'd make a pretty interesting video, and could help letting people know about this technique.
If you've read this far, I want to thank you and really hope you take this into consideration. I think there's some really cool, wild and mysterious GPU coolers out there to discover if you dig hard enough. Which is what I've always enjoyed about your channel. You discovering some rare, wild hardware on the internet and testing them.
I myself will be buying the Arc Accelero Mono PLUS soon to mount on my GTX 1060 mini, (plus a 120mm fan to mount on the Mono PLUS and get rid of that god awful looking stock cooler) since I've recently learned that a lot of people have resorted to doing that for their exact same card, and found the Zotac 1060 6gb mini to actually be an amazing overclocker and dead silent to boot. I can't wait to finally silence my loud as hell card and extract some more performance to prepare for Metro Exodus when it finally comes out.
I purchased a XFX R9 290x which was probably used for mining around 2016. It still works flawlessly to this day.
As this is around half of MSRP you could just buy two cards for and IF one of them dies you still have one for the price of MSRP and some may still have warranty.
I’m not completely sure but maybe having a constant heat load would mitigate expansion and contraction of heating and cooling of different loads on the GPU loads with gaming. However the constant use and erosion of electrons might be something else to consider with longevity. I’m pretty sure Etherium was more VRAM intensive so I wonder if the VRAM would fail first rather than the GPU core. IDK if any of this is accurate but just some things to consider.
On AC: Odyssey, turn volumetric clouds off or on low. Then turn up AA to medium (since it uses upsampling vs msaa).
Funny how this is supposed to be an AMD title 🤔
Well it doesnt even run good on a Vega 64 which included a key for it so idk what to make of that but then again its Ubisoft afterall
@Jonathan Soko tbh, Nvidia "optimized" titles seem to be running fine on pretty much all cards these days (save for things like hairworks, which may or may not decimate performance for AMD cards). It used to be a hell of a lot worse for AMD gpu's.
someone in my country be selling it for 75. I want to try get it for 50.
Go Speech 100 and make them pay you for taking it off their hands and then I'll be impressed.
I used to be a small'ish gpu miner myself & i hate it when people post a buying ad for a gpu & type something like "NO MINING CARDS!"
I undervolted every card (to save on electricity/make less heat) & also make sure they ran under 70c while keeping the fanspeed low as possible to minimize the wear on that + also dusted them every 1-2 months. (open air setup really loves to get dusty fast)
We, as (ex)miners also want the GPU to last long time
0:23 gotta love the fact that he actually wrote the price in euros and i think more people on the internet should do that (saying hi from italy)
buying from miners is like driving a car 100km economically, getting best mileage. buying from a gamer is like driving a car 50km but high rpms and max acceleration. the gpus may have been looked after but have higher usage hours. 24/7 mining, give the cards a break.
Thermal cycles kill electronics, turning thins on and off (high heat, low heat, repeat) is exactly how you stress test parts. If you want to test 5 years worth of fatigue, you just need a few weeks... I run stress tests on cards in between video renders to keep them warm, because heating and cooling often is really bad for them. My first GPU died extremely fast from thermal fatigue (but on the extreme cold end, the solder eventually cracked going from -58c idle back up to room temp when powered off, and almost back up to freezing temps at 0c when doing loads). So it had a super accelerated death, but the same happens with regular air cooled cards, it just takes a lot more thermal cycles. This is why "baking" GPUs works, the solder eventually cracks from all the thermal cycles, and you can rejoin it by baking/re-heat, so that just shows its often thermal fatigue that kills these.
@@jakegarrett8109 thermal cycle isnt the biggest factor in degradation, its the time theyre being used, look at batteries for example everytime you drain and recharge them the capacity gets smaller, recharging while its already 100% is also a wasted cycle. unless you are constantly turning it on to stress test then off and let ot cool down and do the same over and over yes its gonna kill it, but barely anyone does that, turning your pc on and off once a day and use it for 4 hours is still better than having it on 24/7. you sound like a miner trying to scam people by selling her abused hardware
@@rgbgamingfridge Haha, solder and batteries are not the same... Its not chemical inter-reactions, its purely mechanical. Solder is a metal. You know how metal fatigues? Its from loading cycles. Since GPUs don't exactly get bent repeatedly, its thermal contraction and expansion of the solder joints that usually kills them. That's why COMPANIES (don't just take my word as a mechanical engineer, look at what all the big companies do), they test by heating and cooling rapidly to find out how long it will last.
My Titan undergoes about 2 dozen full heat (84c then back down to below 40c) thermal cycles per video I edit. I render a portion, look at it, and render again. This is how jet engines are rated. They used to go by hours, but people doing "island hopping" with them on short runs caused them to undergo a stupid amount of thermal cycles and now they primarily use that number (I'm also an aerospace engineer, so we talked about this kind of thing in our propulsion class)
@@jakegarrett8109 yeah no shit its just an example but the fact that using it 24/7 is worse than turning it on and off sometimes is still true
@@jakegarrett8109Yep, I recently put one of my HD7970s in the oven to get it back working after the RMA failed to fix it. I had nothing to lose but I have Crossfire back and can game again properly...though on nearly 7 year old cards now. I'll have to keep a look out for a good used mining card since the RTX series isn't compelling me, especially with word of failures on some of them.
Now that's odd my Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8GB Runs AC Odyssey at 60Fps or more on High Settings and the Temps Hit 60c-65c Max the average is 55c... Granted the RX 570 is a Tier Below it should at least run Ac Odyssey at 60Fps on Medium...

I ve just bought the Strix version of the RX570(new,not SH) that was priced like the 1050 ti(both are 200$ dollars in my country though) and you came out with this video.
I picked up a used 1050Ti for $63 shipped that was used for mining back in February. The seller bought the card back in September of last year. The card works great despite the fact that half the shroud was cut away to make it fit inside the mining rig, which meant that one of the 2 fans was also missing. Still the card works great and I havent seen any worries with the performance or thermals. I paired it up with a i5 3570 and 8gb of ram and use it as a backup rig in my bedroom. The whole thing cost me ~$330 but could have been under $300 if I opted for a cheaper case (q300p) and a lower power supply (corsair cx650m).

Recently I purchased (before watching the review) a custom mining RX 580 4GB (2304SP) from China similar from Hardware Unboxed reviewed for just 98 dollars with free shipping. I experienced a slight issue with the HDMI port which is common for these cards and a slight tap/wobble of the jack or moving the cable a little bit may interrupt the signal and flashes gray static randomly. Fortunately after I kept it snug, this issue was gone.
I'm using the card for over a month now and it runs good enough with the R3 2200G playing Far Cry 5 Ultra 1080p around 55-75FPS AVG. I even tried overclocking the stock clocks from 1340MHz @ 1150mV to 1440MHz @1175mV which was stable while testing a loop in Unigine Heaven for about 40 minutes and stayed under 75C fans maxed @90%.
Overall it was an FAIR experience but still it was a risky thing since shipping back the item will cost extra if the card was total a dud.

@FeelTheThunderHonestly, I wouldn't go past stock clocks for temperature and power reasons. Undervolt, have a more stable stock clock instead of overclocking. It's worth the peace of mind.
Spoken like a true idiot who doesn't know what he is talking about.

I used to mine with 1070s and 1080s from what i could say if you are gonna buy mining cards is find a honest seller.
Ask how old the card and how long it was used, and ask about if they frequently clean it.
I took care of my mining cards even cleaning everything and changing the thermal paste and the thermal pads every 2 months most of them are undervolted to save some changes.
I sold all of them for lower prices of course.
The catch is it's not an rx 570
Huh?
Thanks my friend for the "Euro €" price im from Germany. I Hope the UK will be still in the EU. I wish all much luck and Hope for a Good Ending of the shit episode. Much Love and Power from 🇩🇪 be STRONG 💪😏
Nein. Einfach nein
@@pc-broke8348 wenn das mal so laufen würde, aber ja Regirungen müssen sich auch an Gesetze halten dazu zählt das ein einfaches "Nein" leider nicht so funktioniert; ich denke aber selber auch das es mit einem klaren "Nein" besser ist und auch deutlich günstiger ist. Leider ist dem nun nicht so.
Sí oui oui
At this rate, there will be another EU referendum and we'll stay.
@@dylanharding5720 me agrees
You are right about mining cards, most of them are actually in great condition, since they are undervolted to the max for max performance/watt, and mining doesnt tax the gpu as much as gaming does either.
I should add that most mining cards are ulderclocked / under volted for stability as having a card die on your mining rig could wipe out any return from mining.
sold my rx570 to my mum for 1p so ur purchase was a joke
@@janaebert3059 sounds like a good deal
From what I've seen in this and a couple other vids, the only real issue with retired mining cards seems to be slight higher thermals. I imagine new paste would probably help most "dying" mining cards, since thermal throttling causes a lot of slow down.
Just got one of these new as I’m building a new machine; I don’t do any gaming or even video editing (certainly not 4K), it’s mainly for photoshop and illustrator. Aorus x570 Elite Wi-Fi mobo, 32 Gb ram, NVMe drive with a Ryzen 5 3600. I’m on a budget, but I thought it looks like a good combo.
I've found that a lot of the second hand graphics cards that were used for mining were generally well looked after (and are often mined in air conditioned rooms as well) so there shouldn't be much of an issue. Can get quite a lot of GPU for not much money. Would be ideal to get one that still has a balance of the 3 year warranty just as a precaution.
Bought my MSI RX 570 ARMOR 8gb OC edition for 169 Euro's, an upgrade from my old MSI R7950 twin frozr 3gb oc edition haha. I wanted the 4gb version, but took the 8gb one. There was only a 5 Euro different . Super happy with the upgrade.
Cool that you got it for cheap! Nice combo with my Ryzen 5 1600.
One of my friend used to mine using 7 RX 570s and he modified the bios for low power consumption and stay on low temperature. He loaded the default bios while selling and also sold at a low price like this one.
I just need to know. Does this card have any led lights on it and do the fans start right away or do they activate after certain temp? Bought this quick to replace my rx 470 I thought got water damaged.
I purchased an r9 270x vapor-x sapphire and didn't realize that it was used for mining... it started artifacting a month later.
I picked up the 8 gb 580 off ebay a few weeks ago and haven't been more pleased.
I've been using an old 1070 that had a previous life mining for a year so far and it's still running strong with a nice overclock. I paid $220 for it right at the wrong time to buy anything new.
Planning of buying an ex mining RX570 8Gb tomorrow in 2019. Found a local store which provides 6 month guarantee for just USD 120. Hope everything will go well.
I picked up an MSI 8GB RX 580 GamingX from eBay last October which I'm fairly certain was used for mining. After 4 months ownership, no issues, no crashes or artifacts, fans are quiet, plays Forza Horizon 4 and Doom 2016 beautifully, no complaints. Plus, where it's MSI, at least in Canada, the 3yr warranty is tracked by the Serial Number starting at the date of manufacture if you have no proof of purchase, so if it dies it's covered, at least for another year.. Good chance your RX570 would still be covered as well..
Heck. I got a steal on an ex miner Gigabyte RX-580, it had been well looked after going by how clean it was when I got it, plus, it overclocks like a total boss. I managed to get 1480 / 2133 out of it and I'm willing to bet there's still headroom on the VRAM to take it higher since I only did a conservative OC on it.
I got a similar deal. $83 for rx 470 8gb on ebay. Works fine. Can't really overclock it without harming stability, but by turning on the fan and upping the power limit slightly (for some reason stock wants to run well under the power rating) I can keep it running at full speed under load.
Some miners flash the bios of AMD cards with more aggressive memory timings, which may not be stable in games or other scenarios, so if you can get information from the seller, it'll be great. It's fixable, but you will need to do some work on it.
Hello! I'm a big fan. Can you please make a part 2 of HD 5450? Thanks
I got a RX 580 8GB that was really dusty for $160. Now I cleaned it out, replaced the paste with kryonaut and it's running really cool, 1430mhz core with Max temps on any of my games at 65°C
I bought an ex-mining 1070 and I have had no problems and as a bit extra, the previous owner put liquid metal on too!
What setting are you runnnig unigine? I'd just like to see for reference vs my i5 8600, 16GB 3000mhz, R9 380 4GB
Whats the name of the program that he is using to give the numbers on top?
Heya, can u do a review for A8 7600 with just 4gb ram (current PC i have)? im kinda curious if it will run games normally like GTA V, Warframe, etc..
Was this one of the ones on r/hardware swap? Someone was selling a few hard-life 570s and 580s for like $80-100 each. Was so mad I missed them lol
i have a gaming x msi rx 470 it performs nearly the same but thermally it is not good i am not confident to re apply the thermal paste .... do i need thermal pads too ?
These are going for $125 in Sioux Falls
Got an RX 460 2gb used today for $65($55+$10 shipping). I’m excited and can’t wait for it to arrive(my first dedicated Graphics card I have owned). The seller seems legit and he stated that the card may need a change of thermal paste(pretty simple job that I was planning to do anyways) and his honesty made me feel better.
Deadass thought that was a thomas the train picture in the background LOL
I picked up a 4gb RX580 OC for $100 last weekend. Killer deal, less than half retail. Seems to work fine.
Reminds me of my r9 290 purchase from a "company" that probably used it for mining. Got it for ~110£...
back when it was only a few months old. Still running fine but somehow when I tried updating the driver in 2016 it would crash everytime until i reverted back.
