It's not even close to the 1080 Ti/2080

Benchmarks are all over the place but there is something consistent that I am seeing and the 2080 is beating it in 99% of games, it's on average is 5-10 fps less.
Now if you include overclocking, the 2070 is a better buy at 500 dollars (not 600) and rtx 2080 clearly is superior.

It's opencl fp64 benchmarks are insane, they gave us a workstation gpu that has some gaming performance. IE vega frontier done sort of right.

You got your pc that close to your speakers or the edge of your desk

Makes me nervous just looking at it

Also at an all SSD build...

The desk I have is very sturdy and can hold 275lbs.

I believe my A5+ speakers are shielded, meaning the magnetism doesn't affect other components. But, I need to look into that. I hope it's all good

I picked up a used Vega nitro + special edition on eBay for $310 comes with invoice and fully boxed etc.
The person I got it from showed no history of selling graphics cards/parts etc so doesn't appear to have been used for mining.

I paid by PayPal so as long I stress test it should I be in the clear brehs?

If it is a scam, you'll get your money back. I hope they at least took the effort to post real pics and you didn't go off manufactured pictures.

Naw real pictures and he's already emailed me the invoice from a reputable website. I buy and sell from eBay often it's not a scam my concern was regarding it previously being used for mining
