5 things I wish I knew before buying a used GPU
It's not as risky as it was once made out to be, but buying used GPUs still has its pitfalls.

There's truly nothing better than buying a brand-new component for your rig. The unboxing, the peel, and that new computer part smell. Despite the fact that my nostrils yearn for the scent of a new graphics card, the current market is still a bit volatile. Prices are relatively high, and stock is still thin, leading me to lean towards grabbing a pre-owned card.
