I used this GPU for about a year only, then bought a RTX 4070 ti, upgraded and it has sat in that gpu's case since then.

tested this today (1/1/26) it still runs good. It has been consistently cleaned over the past 2 years using alcohol electric cleaning kit and aerosol cans to keep it in good condition.

I bought it for around $1000. i found some currently listed for $700+ on new egg and amazon... which seem high for a 20 series card... so hopefully this is still a good deal even though it does not have any of the original box contest or anything with it (my kids decided to use it for coloring practice and arts and crafts. sorry)
