One other card to consider not on this list is the regular non-ti GTX 1080 8GB. It can be had for not much more than the GTX 1070 8GB in many cases and won't be as abused as the 11GB 1080ti. Zotac makes a Mini version of it that fits ITX cases fairly well and my stepson is still using one of those in his chunky cube shaped 5600X rig.
I’d also argue that the 1080 and 1080ti are incredibly relevant in budget builds. I bought an EVGA 1080 for $60 usd and paired with a Ryzen 5 3600, and got some banger performance for the money. Total build cost was under $250 usd. I’ve even seen a couple 1080ti’s sell for as low as $100-$120 on my local markets
only concern with it is the vram. some newer titles even go above 16GB at 4k. Not that I'm playing to go 4k anyways at this point. Even the best GPUs at the moment hardly get 90fps at 4k right now on newer titles.
I have been rounding up my supply of nuts for the winter here in Japan. So many 3060's on the used market that 1070/2060/2070/2080 variants are popping up like it is cool. Still not as cheap as I would like to see them, but way better than say 3 months ago. Great Video, and very accurate list from the Tech Yes City Man!
I've gotten some GTX 970s, for ultra-budget builds, for dirt cheap ($30-50usd). Paired with 4th gen i7 or 6th gen i5 and they make for great esports systems.
I have one of those, a bit too slow, only for backup system in case if main dies. But with tuned settings (not maxed out) most games are playable, but I wouldn't pay more than $50 for it ($30 sure, why not) Good for retro PC (XP with hacked drivers or installing manually forced as 960, it will be shown as one, but works fine, same core and stuff) but if you want the best for XP a 980 TI is better.
I've considered pairing either an i7-4790K with a GTX 980, or an i7-4790S with a GTX 960 4GB for Windows XP, fifth and sixth gen console emulation, and some modern low-/mid-spec Linux/Windows gaming. :D
@@greatwavefan397 - The 960 is garbage. Doesn't have enough oomph to use the 4gb in that version. --- Avoid the lower performance S cpu. No point given how cheap you can get an office PC with a 4th gen i7. --- If you're looking for a super budget option consider a chinese x99 mobo. Paired with a $5 E5-2640 and you've got lots of cores and threads to play with for dirt cheap. ----- I just put together one of those systems: $45 for cpu/mobo, $45 RX 580 8gb, used EVGA psu, used CoolerMaster cooler, some cheap/slow DDR4 which wont matter because quad channel, etc. Excellent performance for the price.
Picked up a used 3070 about 6 weeks ago in my small town for approx $280USD (technically $375 Canadian), and I'm very happy with the performance. It allowed me to pass my 6600XT down to my son for his rig. Price was easily the lowest I'd seen around this market. That price point is usually occupied with 3060s around here.
Same here, a couple months ago bought a Colorful Battle Ax 3070 triple fan with Samsung memory for 280US, my 6th GPU this year, much cheaper and cooler than the 2080ti I've sold, didn't notice any difference in performance, a hell of a card.
@@Chomta I think a 3070 or 6700xt under $300 is a good deal. The 4060 ti barely beats the 6700xt and the 4060 ti costs $400+ and the 3070 blows the 6700xt. I got really lucky and bought a new 4060 ti for $330, I upgraded from a 1060. Once in a while you'll find a great used deal, recently bought a fairly new but used 6750xt for $250 for a friends build, INSANE DEAL imo!
heck yeah, 260 US for a 3070 with warranty is an awesome deal. Personally, I stay away from used AMD GPUs without warranty as I've seen they die way too often, their construction is just subpar, especially MSI. Depending on the manufacturer, Nvidia cards with Ti memory chips, tend to die much faster as well, I wouldn't touch one with Hynix chips.
Alan Wake 2 is the first to require mesh shaders on a GPU and many will follow in the coming years so NO the GTX10 series should not get a better ranking than the RX6600 which supports the technology.
@@asdbef3667Well his a PC flipper and the average consumers are more familiar with Nvidia. It's obvious he would like them for more availability to buy and recognition to sell.
One of my fav overlooked old gpus is the 4GB R9 380 (or 380X), which here in the States can be had for $40-60. Still capable in a lot of games at 1080p with reduced settings. GCN3 can handle DX12 feature set 12.0. And it's good in Linux too if you're just trying to throw together a cheap gaming system to mess around with Proton.
I'd take a 2080ti (Samsung memory) over a 3070 or 3070ti even , let alone a 6700xt - the 2080ti can often be overclocked to run faster than all three cards in many titles! , and doesn't run out of VRAM quite so quickly as the Ampere files.
Nvidia brand bias is definitely a big thing in certain regions. From where I'm from, you can get a RX 6800 for as low as $250 and RX 6800 XT for $290 and there are LOTS of them, they aren't just one-off deals. And yet the Nvidia equivalent, RTX 3080 (10G) is still selling at $350 at the lowest. One seller even said to me that they only accept trading as long as you're offering an Nvidia card. "Radeon is a hard sell," they said. 😬😬😬
sebagai bang to buck enjoyer mah gue senang aja sama harga AMD disini tapi emang gila sih di Indo, orang jual Intel mah mo gen berapapun tetap mahal gitu juga sama NVidia. sedihnya sih banyak yang kena tipu karena itu juga
Updated my oldest’s 1080ti which I bought used at a great price for a EVGA 3080ti used. Both awesome cards. Can’t wait to buy a 4090 used in about 3 years time.
Got a 6800xt Sapphire pulse for 300 American. It's sitting on a table cus I have a few PCs and haven't gotten around to that build but I'm pretty happy with it.
Still pinching myself over a Strix RTX2080Ti purchase last year for $220, net price (i.e., it came with a Strix waterblock, adding another $50, which I sold off for that price). It was clean and had been used by its original owner in a gaming PC. Mint condition save for a loose fan plug connector, which I easily repaired. As it came with the waterblock installed, the loose fan connector wasn't noticed by me until the OEM fan assembly was reinstalled. In any event, the repair was minimal and it has run like a champ since I installed it months ago. I do run it with an UV, just to be on the safe side.
What are the memory issues you mentioned with the 2080ti ? It occasionally comes up for good prices and I recently got one for an upgrade from a 1080. For flipping I agree the newer 6700(xt) is better. Unfortunately haven't come across any good deals on a 3070 in my local area (Southern UK) yet. Thanks for the vid, keep up the great work.
@@Technocrat. Ti cards are not just overclocked non-Ti cards. They will also have the better coolers in many cases. The performance jump is not just from higher speeds and power draw. The specs of the 2080ti is significant over the 2080 super (eg. cores etc.). I think it's something to bear in mind but definitely no reason to blanket ignore Ti models. I would personally always go for a 3060ti over a 3060 for example.
I have cleaned and repasted so many cards over the years, if they needed it or not. The 2080ti is like the only card I would have stress over taking apart. It is like so cringy pulling apart the layers. There is just an insane amount of components covering both sides of the pcb. Should be prepared to swap out the pads, there are allot on this card. The 3 memory chips closest to the PCI fingers have a tendency of just throwing in the towel. It was a problem from the get go, so yes a gamble on longevity.
Love using small cards like the 960 and 1650 in budget ITX builds where a 400W psu doesn't weigh it down and it actually makes a sweet portable classic gaming build.
1660 SUPER - great card. I bought it on realise and love it. For 1080p best card at it price

Just picked up a 6700XT which was used for mining for less than a used 3060, tested it and other than some coil whine (which is mostly unnoticeable when I undervolt a bit), it runs stable, silent and cool. I took a gamble on it because it's an ASUS Tuf Gaming OC, and their cooling solution and build quality are top notch. I'm giving my wife my Palit 3060 12GB which I got new for twice as much last year, because she need the CUDA cores for work. It's built like a plastic toy when compared to the 6700XT and easily runs up to 10 degrees hotter under load.
the rx580 8gb is for sure worth getting it was my first gpu and still is my current gpu it runs almost all games at 100+ fps at 1080p and 90+ fps at 1440p
I was able to sell my personal gaming PC here in California for $550, that had an i7 7700 and a MSI GTX 1070 Ti Gaming X. Paid $70 for the CPU, and $120 for the GPU. I basically got all my money back. Prices here are all over the place. Holiday season is the best time to sell here.
Picked up a 6700xt for my mom's new build. She was still rocking the over 10 year old PC I build her back in the day. So I bought a b650m mobo, a 7700, 16gx2 DDR5 6000MT/s, and an RX6700xt to top it off. She doesn't game, but I'm sure it'll last her another 10 years meaning I don't need to play tech support for the foreseeable future.
Got an RTX 3080 for £380 with a years warranty and ability to return. The cards a monster, plays most games at 4k60, and can still play harder to run games at 4k60 if you just drop the settings from ultra to high. £380 for a card that outperforms a 4070 comfortably in 4k is great value.
at first thought I wanna buy a used rx 6700xt but after watching this vid, I've change my mind and picking rtx 3070 instead... thanks, and a great vid btw.
Should I go for a low profile RX 6400 for my tiny PC or just get a used Quadro P620? (It's a Lenovo P330 Tiny, i5 8500T) P620 used is around $50 converted And the RX6400 is $120 new I will need to save up for the RX one most prolly.
Back in the day right before the 20 series launched, I bought a brand new Strix 1080 for $200. About 3 months ago I bought a Strix 3090 brand new for $600. I'm giving my old 1080 to my nephew for his rig.
Got an RX 6700XT and is waiting for the end of the year when I have enough money for my build. Although I bought a used GPU but it has a two years warranty so I'm probably ok but man I can't wait to build it.
A while back when 2070super was new I ordered it together with a 3700X instead of my 4790k with a gtx 970.. didn't even realize it didn't have DVI until I got the order home. Monitor was an older 24" 144Hz and didn't have DP and I didn't wanna run 60Hz so I had to go buy a new screen as well. But now I can use that monitor at another house with a GTX980, all ends well
@@majjjk I had a similar experience when I got a PS4 years ago. My monitor only had DVI and VGA. My PS3 worked well with it using a HDMI adapter but the PS4 produced no signal with the same adapter. Tried a few different adapters and an HDCP stripper. In the end after many amazon returns, a simple HDMI to DVI cable did the trick.
I will say, the used prices creeped. IE, 2 months ago I bough a Zotac amp OC trinity whatever its called 3080 for 375$, right now it's around 50$ higher or more unless you get lucky. I only do buy it now on ebay though, and having returns.
I needed to get a GPU for a new small ITX build project so I bought a new Zotac Single Fan RTX4060 for $280 US before they jacked it up for Black Friday I tested it against my RX6600 for power efficiency and had a 20W to 40W less power draw from the wall on the 4060 coupled with the better performance I decided to leave it in my regular build, and I'm rebuilding my my old gaming rig with the RX6000 to sell before Christmas. I'm going to just wait for the new AM5 APUs for the ITX build later on next year.
Want to start looking to GPUs to upgrade mine in a few months, upgraded the CPU in BlackFiday for a ryzen 7 7800X3d, currently I have a 2070, the PC is basically only used to play ACC in 1080p with tiples, whats the best deal on a GPU without going broke?
Got a used Radeon 6800XT for around 220€ ;its the ASRock Phantom Gaming modell **got a used Samsung Odysee G7 Monitor for 170€ (27" 240hz) Ryzen 5800x 100€ used kept my x370 board with 32gb 3200mhz . best upgrade ever
I just got a vega56, traded it in at a shop/multinational company that buys ansld sells tech. Sold my r938 4gb for 31 euro, bought the vega 56 for 120. So 89 for the upgrade. Went from the Witcher 3 at low/medium settings (unsatisfactory performance, graphics) to now at ultra settings. Gonna wait now a year or two for mid range rdna4 if it's good I live in Ireland, market here is crap
GTX 1660 Super/Ti... In UK can get for £130 from "Cex" with a 2 year warranty(why save 10-20 quid on Ebay with ZERO guarantee)...I picked up a mint PNY Ti less than 2 years old, and paired with an i3-13100F runs 60fps at Ultra/4K on Zwift all day...yet to try it on any "proper" games....
I bought a back of new and sealed Sapphire Pulse and Nitro+ Rx580’s during crypto boom (8x gpus) for $130AUD each from a reseller as a bulk lot and sold 4 of them for $360 AUD a piece and people were happy with the price. I then sold the last 4 gpus for $400AUD during crypto and they sold out quickly. I also purchased an AMD Reference model 6700XT during crypto for $689 AUD and onsold it for $1300 less than a week later. Also during crypto I purchased a mining setup with 9x Rx580 (2x were DOA) (5x 8gb models and 2x 4gb models that were working) for $130AUD total for the entire setup. I cleaned all gpus, put new thermal paste and replaced a handful of thermal pads on sold each GPU for $280-300AUD and sold them all in a few days!
im still on 1060 6gb which i bought used in 2018, looking for something that will handle streaming well so i guess either RTX series or Radeon 7000 series with av1 codec
2 years ago I went from a 4 core 4690K/ GTX 1070 setup to a full AM4 setup with a cheap 3600/ B550 (bring on the 5500X3D) and luckily I found a Red Dragon 6800 at the end of crypto/ GPU travesty for the same price that a RTX4060 8Gb is currently retailing for in NZ. My 1440p UW gaming rocks "Ready or Not 1.0" with epic settings at 100fps average.... Xmas is good
No bad product per the price but there are bad investments. It’s nice when a computer meets most games recommended spec even though some are poorly optimized. I like the rule of doubling take whatever your initial investment would be and double it until you can’t reasonably spend more. chances are you’ll get more for the money if not in terms of performance; longevity and ease of mind
I put a Msi gtx 960 in a pc I am selling and runs Fortnite, rocket league, cs2, pub g, apex legends and all ran fine I paired that with a i7 3930k with a Corsair h60 single aio and the temps are good I would like to put a 1050 ti/1080 in but to many people selling it a very high price and and not worth it so I stick with what I got. I got a gtx 1650 super and goes real well with a ryzen 5 3600xt I would like to put in a 2060/equilvilant to a 1650 super/2060 with a amd card but high priced again and I can’t pick up and buyers won’t post.
idk why but the guy in the durag and suit that pops up randomly in your videos cracks me up every time idk why he's there but he sure makes me laugh i thought it was you the first few times i saw him pop up .
I bought the 6700XT brand new unfortunately it was back during the GPU supply "shortage" so i paid far more than current prices even at retail, but it's the perfect card for 1440p and 4k gaming
Based on the question of the day, this is honestly something that kinda sucks about modern games is that they chase higher and higher graphics, while all the statistics show that most people actually care about gameplay and fun way more when playing video games. It's as if the developers of the big games are just not having any good ideas and it would be easier and faster to increase poly counts and trace rays than to write and implement a compelling story, fun gameplay or both.
i got a used RTX 3080 for 375 USD, and it was a great bargain once i repasted it. but now the listings for 3080s and 6800 xts are mostly gone, with only the inflated listings left i did do some window shopping and found a 4070 for 375 USD though. it really depends on your area
Agreed on all counts, the last two GPUs I bought were banger deals IMO, 1660ti summer 2022 for $100 local pickup 4 miles away, 5700XT 8G summer 2023 for $124 with taxes shipped. Hoping the trends continue and maybe I can try out an RX 6800 16G or 3080 12G for $150-$200 sometime in the next 2 years.
@isaiahmohammadboazthe3rd643 the 5700xt came from eBay, the 1660ti was local from Facebook marketplace. My previous GTX970 also came from eBay and it's in my son's computer now.
Watching your channel is giving me a lot of knowledge on starting my own flip business here in Kanuck Land, when I retire soon. Was supposed to retire past July, but looked at inflation and my savings, and could see the lifespan of my savings shrinking fast. Same or more money in savings, just the value of how far it goes is reduced a lot.
I've got a 960 gtx paired with a 10400f, yes, the gpu is quite old, but I don't want to get a 6gb gpu, I want to get a 8 gb one (I hope to get a new one) for 150 Euros, its current price is 200 but is a psychologically high price for me, and don't want to get a used one for 150, so I will still wait a little bit, as the games I play still run with a gtx 960.
My price points in germany are pretty close up to : 90€ 1070 65€ 1060/1050TI 80€ 1660 any Variante 160€ 1080 Ti 150€ 2070 210€ 3060 12 gb 300€ 3070 420€ 3080 120€ RX5700 XT But its like 10 nvida vs 1 AMD
I have an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB, Is it worth keeping or should i upgrade? I do light gaming and not really bothered about 4k or high spec gaming. My PC is AMD TUF X570 Plus with a Ryzen 7 3800X CPU. 32GB Corsair RAM. Do i need to update or should i keep my PC as is? 🙂
I'm considering finally upgrading my pc from 1050ti to 5600 xt or 5700 xt as I've browsed on local used gear sites and even the 5700 xt started approaching the 100eur mark so it'd be worth it imo to lenghten the life of the pc without anything crazy like swapping motherboards for a new cpu at that point I might as well get a new pc, and the 5700 xt is probably just about what still doesn't bottleneck my old i5 too much
Ultimately the best GPU is the one that has the best price!

Depending on the manufacturer, Nvidia cards with Ti memory chips, tend to die much faster as well, I wouldn't touch one with Hynix chips.
Alan Wake 2 is the first to require mesh shaders on a GPU and many will follow in the coming years so NO the GTX10 series should not get a better ranking than the RX6600 which supports the technology.
he is NVIDIA fanboy
@@asdbef3667I'm guessing that Remedy are.
@@asdbef3667Well his a PC flipper and the average consumers are more familiar with Nvidia. It's obvious he would like them for more availability to buy and recognition to sell.
gtx 980 ti is good too ! But TDP is outdated for performance but it's a legendary card !
Getting old like the 1070
agreed, nowadays with FSR, it can totally handle games like Horizon Zero Dawn at 1440p no problems, its 6GB vram is aging well
One of my fav overlooked old gpus is the 4GB R9 380 (or 380X), which here in the States can be had for $40-60. Still capable in a lot of games at 1080p with reduced settings. GCN3 can handle DX12 feature set 12.0. And it's good in Linux too if you're just trying to throw together a cheap gaming system to mess around with Proton.
I'd take a 2080ti (Samsung memory) over a 3070 or 3070ti even , let alone a 6700xt - the 2080ti can often be overclocked to run faster than all three cards in many titles! , and doesn't run out of VRAM quite so quickly as the Ampere files.
Nvidia brand bias is definitely a big thing in certain regions. From where I'm from, you can get a RX 6800 for as low as $250 and RX 6800 XT for $290 and there are LOTS of them, they aren't just one-off deals. And yet the Nvidia equivalent, RTX 3080 (10G) is still selling at $350 at the lowest. One seller even said to me that they only accept trading as long as you're offering an Nvidia card. "Radeon is a hard sell," they said. 😬😬😬
Ah yes, the brand bias. But its a good thing, keeps prices on good cards low.
sebagai bang to buck enjoyer mah gue senang aja sama harga AMD disini tapi emang gila sih di Indo, orang jual Intel mah mo gen berapapun tetap mahal gitu juga sama NVidia. sedihnya sih banyak yang kena tipu karena itu juga
350?!? People here still ask 650€ for a 3080

Updated my oldest’s 1080ti which I bought used at a great price for a EVGA 3080ti used. Both awesome cards. Can’t wait to buy a 4090 used in about 3 years time.
Got a 3080 for £340 second hand and sold my 3060ti for £250 so that’s a pretty reasonable upgrade for the money
Top video as always. I just got a RX660 for Chrissie. Your video was made better by the T-Shirt. One of the best movies from the 90's.
Got a 6800xt Sapphire pulse for 300 American. It's sitting on a table cus I have a few PCs and haven't gotten around to that build but I'm pretty happy with it.
Me too. I need to upgrade from 3600x cpu though...
Still pinching myself over a Strix RTX2080Ti purchase last year for $220, net price (i.e., it came with a Strix waterblock, adding another $50, which I sold off for that price). It was clean and had been used by its original owner in a gaming PC. Mint condition save for a loose fan plug connector, which I easily repaired. As it came with the waterblock installed, the loose fan connector wasn't noticed by me until the OEM fan assembly was reinstalled. In any event, the repair was minimal and it has run like a champ since I installed it months ago. I do run it with an UV, just to be on the safe side.
I picked up a Zotac 3080 for USD $370 and am happy with it.
Rtx 2060 super is enough for me i just need to upgrade my cpu r7 2700 to 5700
Ryzen 5700X I hope, since 5700 is a crippled CPU with only PCIe 3.0 and with less cache.
What are the memory issues you mentioned with the 2080ti ? It occasionally comes up for good prices and I recently got one for an upgrade from a 1080. For flipping I agree the newer 6700(xt) is better. Unfortunately haven't come across any good deals on a 3070 in my local area (Southern UK) yet.
Thanks for the vid, keep up the great work.
I believe any TI used version is a risk buy. Because the card was factory OC tho the maximum . The more overclocked, the shorter the lifespan.

@@Technocrat. Ti cards are not just overclocked non-Ti cards. They will also have the better coolers in many cases. The performance jump is not just from higher speeds and power draw. The specs of the 2080ti is significant over the 2080 super (eg. cores etc.).
I think it's something to bear in mind but definitely no reason to blanket ignore Ti models. I would personally always go for a 3060ti over a 3060 for example.
I have cleaned and repasted so many cards over the years, if they needed it or not. The 2080ti is like the only card I would have stress over taking apart. It is like so cringy pulling apart the layers. There is just an insane amount of components covering both sides of the pcb. Should be prepared to swap out the pads, there are allot on this card. The 3 memory chips closest to the PCI fingers have a tendency of just throwing in the towel. It was a problem from the get go, so yes a gamble on longevity.
It's the micron GDDR6 variants, be careful of them, samsung vram ones are the go to.
Love using small cards like the 960 and 1650 in budget ITX builds where a 400W psu doesn't weigh it down and it actually makes a sweet portable classic gaming build.
Lots of great videos coming from you these days! Love it ❤
6850xt here... i just love the fact that this is such a powerful card witch such a nice price to fps ratio
1660 SUPER - great card. I bought it on realise and love it. For 1080p best card at it price
Just picked up a 6700XT which was used for mining for less than a used 3060, tested it and other than some coil whine (which is mostly unnoticeable when I undervolt a bit), it runs stable, silent and cool. I took a gamble on it because it's an ASUS Tuf Gaming OC, and their cooling solution and build quality are top notch. I'm giving my wife my Palit 3060 12GB which I got new for twice as much last year, because she need the CUDA cores for work. It's built like a plastic toy when compared to the 6700XT and easily runs up to 10 degrees hotter under load.
LOL! loved that not only that I love this channel but also the t-shirt that you're wearing. I used to watch that when I was on my early teens? hahah!
Yeah same lol when I saw that tshirt for sale (forgot where now), I just had to grab it lol.
the rx580 8gb is for sure worth getting it was my first gpu and still is my current gpu it runs almost all games at 100+ fps at 1080p and 90+ fps at 1440p
A friend of mine sold his 7800XT to me. He sold it to me last week and here's the kicker, he sold it for only 89 USD :)
I was able to sell my personal gaming PC here in California for $550, that had an i7 7700 and a MSI GTX 1070 Ti Gaming X. Paid $70 for the CPU, and $120 for the GPU. I basically got all my money back. Prices here are all over the place. Holiday season is the best time to sell here.
I’ve been scoring quite a few 1650 non supers for under $50 aussie and theyre great for oem flipups
Picked up a 6700xt for my mom's new build. She was still rocking the over 10 year old PC I build her back in the day. So I bought a b650m mobo, a 7700, 16gx2 DDR5 6000MT/s, and an RX6700xt to top it off. She doesn't game, but I'm sure it'll last her another 10 years meaning I don't need to play tech support for the foreseeable future.
This is my fave channel for used tech deals and flipping advice/info cheers on 580k subs, hope ya hit one mil soon!
I just scored a Strix 2080 Super last night for $200 USD! Upgrade from 1660 for my LANbox.
Go go yes tech city !! I prefer a cheap rtx 3060ti lhr bought for $190 last month :)
thats a shweeet deal brother.
I got my used RTX3080 on November 2023 for only 300 usd here in Malaysia. Been using it since and it's very goodd with my Ryzen 5 7500F
Best used GPUs i have found:
Rx580 50$
1070 80$
5700xt 100$ (i love this deal)
6700xt 200$
3060ti 210$
6800xt 300$
The G.O.A.Ts
Its in Turkey btw. Your local market can be different. 10 deals i have found that was even cheaper vanished in a day :(
Got an RTX 3080 for £380 with a years warranty and ability to return. The cards a monster, plays most games at 4k60, and can still play harder to run games at 4k60 if you just drop the settings from ultra to high. £380 for a card that outperforms a 4070 comfortably in 4k is great value.
I feel like both the 3060 and 3060ti are gonna hold good performance and value for a few years to come much like the 1060 6gb did
at first thought I wanna buy a used rx 6700xt but after watching this vid, I've change my mind and picking rtx 3070 instead... thanks, and a great vid btw.
For me the bast bang for the buck ist th RX 5700, you get it for 100€ Here and ITS the Same AS the 6600 with also Not a very high Power consumption.
Also many can be flashed with 5700xt bios ;)
Should I go for a low profile RX 6400 for my tiny PC or just get a used Quadro P620?
(It's a Lenovo P330 Tiny, i5 8500T)
P620 used is around $50 converted
And the RX6400 is $120 new
I will need to save up for the RX one most prolly.
Back in the day right before the 20 series launched, I bought a brand new Strix 1080 for $200. About 3 months ago I bought a Strix 3090 brand new for $600. I'm giving my old 1080 to my nephew for his rig.
I am so against the 6600, it`s weak just get the XT version and the performance gain is noticable
I got gtx1660 ti last month, get the job done in playing warzone above 85 fps++
I bought gtx 1660super only 99$, good performance and condition max only 76°c , im really happy with these gpu
Got an RX 6700XT and is waiting for the end of the year when I have enough money for my build. Although I bought a used GPU but it has a two years warranty so I'm probably ok but man I can't wait to build it.
The GtX 960 is a good choice for CRT PC gaming as the 900 series were some of the last cards to have an analogue DVI output.
I've got a GTX 950 chilling around somewhere, never thought to plug my CRT into it.
A while back when 2070super was new I ordered it together with a 3700X instead of my 4790k with a gtx 970.. didn't even realize it didn't have DVI until I got the order home. Monitor was an older 24" 144Hz and didn't have DP and I didn't wanna run 60Hz so I had to go buy a new screen as well. But now I can use that monitor at another house with a GTX980, all ends well
@@majjjk I had a similar experience when I got a PS4 years ago. My monitor only had DVI and VGA. My PS3 worked well with it using a HDMI adapter but the PS4 produced no signal with the same adapter. Tried a few different adapters and an HDCP stripper. In the end after many amazon returns, a simple HDMI to DVI cable did the trick.
Not just DVi output but they also were one of the last Nvidia chipsets to have Windows XP drivers for retro gaming.
@@rhuwyn Thanks for the info. I didn't realise they were the last Nvidia chips to have XP support.
My used RX 480 8GB (bought before the mining hype) still going strong after a hefty purchase price of US $42.
Nice to know that the 1070 in my Aorus gaming box is still considered worthy.
I will say, the used prices creeped. IE, 2 months ago I bough a Zotac amp OC trinity whatever its called 3080 for 375$, right now it's around 50$ higher or more unless you get lucky. I only do buy it now on ebay though, and having returns.
I needed to get a GPU for a new small ITX build project so I bought a new Zotac Single Fan RTX4060 for $280 US before they jacked it up for Black Friday I tested it against my RX6600 for power efficiency and had a 20W to 40W less power draw from the wall on the 4060 coupled with the better performance I decided to leave it in my regular build, and I'm rebuilding my my old gaming rig with the RX6000 to sell before Christmas. I'm going to just wait for the new AM5 APUs for the ITX build later on next year.
I guess this means that there's no point in upgrading my 2080 Super until I get around to upgrade to AM5
Want to start looking to GPUs to upgrade mine in a few months, upgraded the CPU in BlackFiday for a ryzen 7 7800X3d, currently I have a 2070, the PC is basically only used to play ACC in 1080p with tiples, whats the best deal on a GPU without going broke?
3080 is $359 in my country
But the dell ones
I'm ok with dualfan 3080 aslong it performs well for 1080p144
Got a used Radeon 6800XT for around 220€
;its the ASRock Phantom Gaming modell
**got a used Samsung Odysee G7 Monitor for 170€ (27" 240hz)
Ryzen 5800x 100€ used
kept my x370 board with 32gb 3200mhz .
best upgrade ever
as always, it's always a good day here in the US waking up and getting work done listen to some TYC
I just got a vega56, traded it in at a shop/multinational company that buys ansld sells tech.
Sold my r938 4gb for 31 euro, bought the vega 56 for 120. So 89 for the upgrade. Went from the Witcher 3 at low/medium settings (unsatisfactory performance, graphics) to now at ultra settings.
Gonna wait now a year or two for mid range rdna4 if it's good
I live in Ireland, market here is crap
GTX 1660 Super/Ti... In UK can get for £130 from "Cex" with a 2 year warranty(why save 10-20 quid on Ebay with ZERO guarantee)...I picked up a mint PNY Ti less than 2 years old, and paired with an i3-13100F runs 60fps at Ultra/4K on Zwift all day...yet to try it on any "proper" games....
I have been seeking gaming pcs for a while, my 4060 builds are nearly impossible to keep in stock.
I bought a back of new and sealed Sapphire Pulse and Nitro+ Rx580’s during crypto boom (8x gpus) for $130AUD each from a reseller as a bulk lot and sold 4 of them for $360 AUD a piece and people were happy with the price. I then sold the last 4 gpus for $400AUD during crypto and they sold out quickly.
I also purchased an AMD Reference model 6700XT during crypto for $689 AUD and onsold it for $1300 less than a week later.
Also during crypto I purchased a mining setup with 9x Rx580 (2x were DOA) (5x 8gb models and 2x 4gb models that were working) for $130AUD total for the entire setup. I cleaned all gpus, put new thermal paste and replaced a handful of thermal pads on sold each GPU for $280-300AUD and sold them all in a few days!
ASA requirements will go down and player base will go up when remasters of DLCs and maps release cuz there is little PVP content now
im still on 1060 6gb which i bought used in 2018, looking for something that will handle streaming well so i guess either RTX series or Radeon 7000 series with av1 codec
Torn between the 2080 super and the 3070!
I bought a mining 3070 in excellent condition for 225$ last year right after the fall of mining, can't complain
After re-paste and fans maintenance it's perfect (without, who knows, maybe it will overheat or even brake...)
2 years ago I went from a 4 core 4690K/ GTX 1070 setup to a full AM4 setup with a cheap 3600/ B550 (bring on the 5500X3D) and luckily I found a Red Dragon 6800 at the end of crypto/ GPU travesty for the same price that a RTX4060 8Gb is currently retailing for in NZ. My 1440p UW gaming rocks "Ready or Not 1.0" with epic settings at 100fps average.... Xmas is good
No bad product per the price but there are bad investments. It’s nice when a computer meets most games recommended spec even though some are poorly optimized. I like the rule of doubling take whatever your initial investment would be and double it until you can’t reasonably spend more. chances are you’ll get more for the money if not in terms of performance; longevity and ease of mind
I just bought the gtx 1660 super 6 gig and man its awesome it works really well with the ryzen 5 3600
Here in the states everyone is asking insane prices for cards. Like $200 USD for a 1660 Ti. Its ridiculous!
I put a Msi gtx 960 in a pc I am selling and runs Fortnite, rocket league, cs2, pub g, apex legends and all ran fine I paired that with a i7 3930k with a Corsair h60 single aio and the temps are good I would like to put a 1050 ti/1080 in but to many people selling it a very high price and and not worth it so I stick with what I got.
I got a gtx 1650 super and goes real well with a ryzen 5 3600xt I would like to put in a 2060/equilvilant to a 1650 super/2060 with a amd card but high priced again and I can’t pick up and buyers won’t post.
idk why but the guy in the durag and suit that pops up randomly in your videos cracks me up every time idk why he's there but he sure makes me laugh i thought it was you the first few times i saw him pop up .
ive have the 2070 super OC.. still rocks for me (1080 gaming)
I have 6700XT Red Devil and it's a Beast card for 1440p gaming :D
Need some advice daughter has 2070S and looking to upgrade to help with her digital art rest of her specs are 5600x,32gb ddr4 3600mhz 750w psu
Thanks for the video! Was really looking into getting a new gpu
I bought the 6700XT brand new unfortunately it was back during the GPU supply "shortage" so i paid far more than current prices even at retail, but it's the perfect card for 1440p and 4k gaming
Exactly the right thing for me:
I'm planning a PC conversion over Christmas, but the appropriate (used) graphics card is still missing
I'm curious
Hi Bryan cex Australia is selling rx 5700 xt for 285 aud with e 2 year warranty, what do you think?
Based on the question of the day, this is honestly something that kinda sucks about modern games is that they chase higher and higher graphics, while all the statistics show that most people actually care about gameplay and fun way more when playing video games. It's as if the developers of the big games are just not having any good ideas and it would be easier and faster to increase poly counts and trace rays than to write and implement a compelling story, fun gameplay or both.
Which one of these cards would be best to pair with an i7 8700k?
I would pair it with a 1080 Ti but this isn’t on the list for some reason. The 3060 Ti would also work well.
3060 or 3070 and it makes an easy flip, have done a few in the past month.
i got a used RTX 3080 for 375 USD, and it was a great bargain once i repasted it. but now the listings for 3080s and 6800 xts are mostly gone, with only the inflated listings left
i did do some window shopping and found a 4070 for 375 USD though. it really depends on your area
I've been building some budget bangers with rx5600xt/Ryzen 3600 lately, as both CPU and GPU can be sourced super affordably
if 3070 has 12GB VRAM.... these card will be LEGENDARY ..... SOLD in everywhere
my boy always throwing down gpu buying experiences
i grabbed a rx 590 nitro for 140$ few weeks ago now. im pretty happy with this card it plays all the games my son throws at it so far
If that is 140USD you overpayed.
nooope@@aos32 120 USD n its still decent price for it in canada also
why do you do prices in USD & Not AUD man :) good video but. i find the rx6600 for $200 AUD on marketplace is a good deal on the cheap.
I just bought an a750 for $220 aud for playing 1440p... Do you think it is a good deal?
Agreed on all counts, the last two GPUs I bought were banger deals IMO, 1660ti summer 2022 for $100 local pickup 4 miles away, 5700XT 8G summer 2023 for $124 with taxes shipped. Hoping the trends continue and maybe I can try out an RX 6800 16G or 3080 12G for $150-$200 sometime in the next 2 years.
What site are yall using .. I only know eBay
@isaiahmohammadboazthe3rd643 the 5700xt came from eBay, the 1660ti was local from Facebook marketplace. My previous GTX970 also came from eBay and it's in my son's computer now.
@isaiahmohammadboazthe3rd643 aliexpress can also have good gpu deals, but they are refurbished listed as new in many cases
Watching your channel is giving me a lot of knowledge on starting my own flip business here in Kanuck Land, when I retire soon.
Was supposed to retire past July, but looked at inflation and my savings, and could see the lifespan of my savings shrinking fast. Same or more money in savings, just the value of how far it goes is reduced a lot.
Yeah inflation is rediculous in aus. Give it another 2 years and fiat will be hot potato in the west.
I've got a 960 gtx paired with a 10400f, yes, the gpu is quite old, but I don't want to get a 6gb gpu, I want to get a 8 gb one (I hope to get a new one) for 150 Euros, its current price is 200 but is a psychologically high price for me, and don't want to get a used one for 150, so I will still wait a little bit, as the games I play still run with a gtx 960.
My price points in germany are pretty close up to :
90€ 1070
65€ 1060/1050TI
80€ 1660 any Variante
160€ 1080 Ti
150€ 2070
210€ 3060 12 gb
300€ 3070
420€ 3080

Now we need the ultimate mobo+cpu combo for gaming pc reselling!❤❤❤❤love ❤
I have an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB, Is it worth keeping or should i upgrade? I do light gaming and not really bothered about 4k or high spec gaming. My PC is AMD TUF X570 Plus with a Ryzen 7 3800X CPU. 32GB Corsair RAM. Do i need to update or should i keep my PC as is? 🙂
Swap in a 5600X3D and rtx 3060 12gb for a huge improvement
I'm considering finally upgrading my pc from 1050ti to 5600 xt or 5700 xt as I've browsed on local used gear sites and even the 5700 xt started approaching the 100eur mark so it'd be worth it imo to lenghten the life of the pc without anything crazy like swapping motherboards for a new cpu at that point I might as well get a new pc, and the 5700 xt is probably just about what still doesn't bottleneck my old i5 too much
im on a 1070 and running cyberpunk at 1080p high settings locked at 60fps. Damn good card still for 1080p gaming for sure.
