Is this card worth it for $145 if its only two months old.

I'm low on funds at the moment and took a chance on eBay.

    I had that videocard for some time, and there was nothing I couldn't throw at it. I only replaced it for a 290x because a friend bought the 295x, and gifted me his "old" one. I feel no difference between them. That's as solid as a video card can get.

    So you think was worth a shot?

    I do. Not only for the price range, either. There is NO game you can't run with that card that you can with another. Trust me. Sure, there are games that are poorly optimized for AMD because of the "subterfuge" war between nVidia and AMD, but that's about it. I have been able to play everything on max settings (except PhysyX and those that are "exlcusive" to nVidia), without dropping below 20 FPS.

    Well upgrading from a AMD 7700 series that is overclocked enough to boil water, I think I made a good choice. Might be able to play H1Z1 without going on verylow settings.

    Why buy it used off Ebay when you can get basically the same thing new with the warranty, RMA period, and no risk that the person is getting rid of it because it has problems?

    Really, though, if you're in the market for a new video card, I'd grab something more recent with adaptive sync support.  That will allow you much smoother frame rates whenever you get around to your next monitor upgrade.  But it would take going either up or down a notch in both price and performance:

    Though after your previous thread where you started a thread and then almost immediately ran off to buy something random and ignore the advice you got, I suspect that it doesn't matter what anyone tells you here.
