What Buyers Say
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB GDDR5 Black
Users are overwhelmingly positive about the EVGA 8GB DDR5 1070Ti SC BE, praising its performance, especially for VR and demanding games like Starfield and No Man's Sky. Many note it arrives in excellent condition even as a refurbished unit, offering great value for money. However, a single verified report of both cooling fans failing within a year raises a durability concern.

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX NITRO+ 24GB GDDR6 Silver
The Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX earns strong praise for its blistering 4K performance, quiet operation, and reliable cooling. Most verified buyers highlight its compact size relative to competing high-end cards, the generous 24GB VRAM, and the absence of coil whine as major pluses. A few reviewers note that coil whine can occasionally occur, and the card demands a robust 850W+ PSU, but overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.
Pros

- Very quiet operation
- Efficient cooling with low temperatures
- Compact size for a high-end card
- 24GB VRAM for longevity
