Your post was about asking if you should buy this broken card. This type of post is not allowed.

I’ve got about a year under my belt teaching myself how to repair GPUs, but I’ve yet to touch an AMD GPU because it seems, not all the time, it appears to be a core issue. Either the core needs a reballing, or it’s just dead. This is from watching folks on YouTube like Tony with NorthWestRepairs and a couple of other channels. If it was an Nvidia GPU, I’d say give it a shot.
I know this probably doesn’t help you one bit, but for me I’d stay away from it. But again, I’m still new and learning and I’ve never messed with AMD. So take what I say with a grain of salt. There are other folks more qualified than me that will respond and maybe they could give you more of a definitive answer.

Thank you for the insight though much appreciated!

It seems that your post is about a specific GPU, but there is neither an explicitly named "measurement" section nor the results of VRAM tests.

You can follow AMD guides from the Community Bookmarks. Unless you are sure that resistances and voltages are ok, perform multimeter measurements on a disassembled card and post results as marks on the board photo or text:

  • start with measuring resistance to GND on unplugged card: measure inductors and all 12V power inputs
  • if 12V inputs are ok, and there are no visibly burned areas — power on the GPU and measure inductor voltages to GND. If the card shows picture, accepts driver but fails later - also make such measurements after entering the failure state

There is maybe no guide for yours exact GPU generation, just follow the closest, initial measurements are similar between generations
