How to Buy a Graphics Card With Crypto
Choosing a graphics card you can pay for in crypto: matching it to your screen, checking length, power and connectors, and what arrives in the box.
The short answer: Match the card to the resolution you play at, then check three things against your PC: the card's length, your power supply's wattage and its connectors. Pay in any coin we accept within 1 hour, and we buy the card new and sealed.
Graphics card makers and the large retailers do not take crypto. We do: you pay us, a person on our team buys the card you chose, checks it when it arrives, and sends it on in a plain outer box. Most of the work is choosing the right card, so this guide starts there.
Match the card to your screen
The resolution you play at decides how much card you need. Spending beyond what your screen can show buys little.
| You play at | A sensible card | Memory to look for |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | RTX 5060, or the 5060 Ti with 16 GB | 8 GB works, 16 GB lasts longer |
| 1440p | RTX 5070 or RX 9070 XT | 12 to 16 GB |
| 4K | RTX 5080 or above | 16 GB or more |
Video memory matters more each year. New games at high settings fill 8 GB at 1440p, and a card that runs out of memory stutters however fast its chip is. If you keep a card for four or five years, buy the larger memory size.
For video editing, 3D work and local AI models, memory counts for more than speed. A 16 GB card opens projects that an 8 GB card cannot.
Check that it fits your PC
Three things decide whether a card works in the computer you already have.
- Length. Your case lists the longest card it takes, in millimetres. Cards run from about 200 mm to over 330 mm: the ASUS Dual RTX 5070 is 229 mm, the MSI RTX 5080 Gaming Trio 338 mm. Measure from the back of the case to the first obstacle, drive cages included.
- Power. Every card has a recommended power supply size from its maker, on its spec sheet and its box. An older 550 W supply that ran your last card may not run the next one.
- Connectors. Many new cards take the 16-pin 12V-2x6 plug, and others take two or three 8-pin plugs; the maker's spec sheet says which. A recent ATX 3.1 supply such as the Corsair RM850x has the 16-pin cable built in. With an older supply, use the adapter from the card's box and push every plug fully home.
Width matters too. A large cooler can take three slots or more, which may cover a second M.2 slot or a card below it.
Pay and receive it
- Open the card's product page. The price, our service fee and the delivery estimate are listed separately before you pay.
- Choose your coin at checkout and send the exact amount within 1 hour. Your receipt page follows the payment by itself.
- Once the network confirms it, we buy the card new and sealed, check it on arrival, and send it on in a plain box with tracking.
A graphics card is heavy for its size, so it travels in the maker's own box, padded, inside ours. If a box arrives damaged, photograph it and the card before you install anything, and write to us.
Which coin to use
For a payment in the hundreds of dollars, a stablecoin keeps the amount steady while you send it: USDT or USDC, on the network your wallet uses. Bitcoin is widely held but takes 10 to 30 minutes to confirm. Monero keeps the payment itself private. Add any exchange withdrawal fee on top of the amount shown.
A card we do not list
Ask for it with the exact model. You get one fixed price, held for 7 days, before you pay anything.
If you would rather have a whole computer built around the card, a custom PC built from parts you choose is assembled and tested before it ships. For the screen to go with it, read how to buy a monitor with crypto.
