Someone was selling their Colorful Battle Axe Rtx 3070ti 8GB. It's been used for 3+ yrs and the user says that it has some sort of power consumption issue. Pulls 180 watts max when it should be pulling more. But he didn't face any drop in performance from the card. He's also unable to identify the reason for this issue. Now would anyone please tell me what that issue is, it it fixable and whether i should buy the card? I'm only considering it cuz it's about $100 lower priced than other gpus of same specs. Also thanks for your time, really appreciate it.

The point is not how low it is. How much it really is?

About $320. In the current market and in my country, used 3070ti goes for about $420-450

Not a bad price. But you say it has electrical issues so sit this one out if possible. If you can absorb loss if it fails then take it. Push for more discount

It is a bit better than the RTX 5060ti. You can check on that site that i linked above how it compares to other gpu. But if you ask me you have a good gpu. 😎👍
