I've been contemplating buying a new GPU for a while to replace my gtx 570. I've been eyeing mostly the 280x and 290 series as I game in 1080 p and generally spend about 300 on a gpu every now and then. However I haven't bought a new card because I just don't think the value is there right now.
However I noticed that used sapphire 7970s are going for $170 to $200 on eBay. I suspect these are mining cards. Should I make the jump? What should I look for if buying a used card to ensure I don't get a lemon?
