tbf I wouldn't buy a cheaper used gaming card from a miner, because of potential ware. Electronics ware off, and a mining card would have been taxed much more than any card used for gaming.
I have and the truth seems to be that if the miner took good care of the card it will probably be fine. Thats why I said "potential". This is not an acceptable risk when Im spending big on gaming hardware.
edit: just to be clear, I dont have the expertise to check the wear, so it just seems like a bad gamble to me
