Frequently Asked Questions
Q
How are pre-owned graphics cards tested before being listed?
Every pre-owned GPU undergoes a rigorous 3-stage health check:
1. Physical Inspection: We inspect PCB structure, PCIe slot pins, fan bearings, and clean away heatsink dust.
2. FurMark Thermal Load Testing: Cards run under full thermal stress. If junction or hotspot temperatures are very high, we repaste the GPU core with premium thermal compound.
3. Benchmark Verification: We test real-world stability in Unigine Heaven while ensuring all DisplayPort and HDMI outputs function perfectly.
Q
Should I buy an NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics card?
It depends on your target performance features:
• NVIDIA GeForce: Best for industry-leading Ray Tracing performance, CUDA accelerated apps, and DLSS upscaling. Explore our full NVIDIA GeForce collection.
• AMD Radeon: Excellent pure rasterization performance, larger VRAM capacity per pound, and open-source FSR / AFMF support. Explore our full AMD Radeon collection.
Q
Do I need a GPU support stand for my graphics card?
Yes, an anti-sag stand is essential. Modern dual and triple-fan graphics cards carry heavy heatsinks that exert immense downward force on your system. Without proper support, GPU sag causes permanent physical stress over time that can crack internal PCB traces or ruin your motherboard's PCIe slot, leading to total hardware failure. Using an affordable Adjustable GPU Support Stand is critical to keep your card level, prevent sag damage, and extend the lifespan of your component.
Q
What size Power Supply (PSU) do I need for my GPU?
PSU requirements depend on your card's power draw:
• Budget Cards (GTX 1660 / RX 6600): 500W – 550W PSU
• Mid-Range Cards (RTX 3060/4060 / RX 6700 XT): 600W – 650W PSU
• High-End Cards (RTX 3080/4070 Ti / RX 7800 XT): 750W – 850W PSU
• Flagship Cards (RTX 4090/5090 / RX 7900 XTX): 850W – 1000W+ PSU
Browse our power supplies collection to pick up a matching power unit for your system.
Q
What custom power cables do modern GPUs require?
Most GPUs use standard 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe power cables. However, NVIDIA RTX 40 and RTX 50 series cards utilize a 16-pin (12VHPWR / 12V-2x6) power input. Instead of using clunky adapters, you can use a dedicated 12VHPWR 16-Pin Power Cable. To clean up standard 8-pin PCIe cables, check out our ARGB LED Cable Covers.
