Hey everyone, I'm planning to buy a new graphics card in person and I'd love some advice on what to look for to ensure I'm making a good purchase. Any tips on what factors to consider or check before finalizing the deal?

Make sure to request some sort of guarantee, especially if you're paying cash. It might be a good idea to pay half upfront and the other half after you've tested it, or use a payment method that offers buyer protection. You want to avoid getting scammed!
Totally agree! Always better to be safe than sorry.
If you're buying used, definitely ask the seller to plug the GPU into a PC and run a stress test right then and there. That way, you can check if it's functioning properly before handing over your cash!
First of all, make sure the GPU fits within your budget and meets your needs. It’s super important to know what specs you're looking for, like what resolution you plan to play at and what your current PC specs are. Just saying you need a GPU isn't enough to get the best deal!
Yeah, asking to see it in action is the way to go! Plus, cash doesn't offer any refunds if things go south.
