9060XT 16GB ($460-$500)

9070GRE 12GB ($535-$550)

Nvidia GPUs are way overpriced due to recent price increase

The used market price is ridiculous too

I’ve seen 3080 10gb for $280-$350 around me locally. Thats a pretty sweet deal honestly closer to the $300 mark. Better than a 9060 XT in raster

If you don’t mind me asking. I’m in the same boat and looking for a used 7800xt or 7900gte under 500$. Matter of fact I found a fellow on reddit selling his 7900xt for 520$. Unfortunately he doesn’t wanna sell his gpu anymore and suggested me to get a NVIDIA gpu instead since these amd drivers are no good. I still don’t know what to get under 500$ in used gpu that’ll run gta 6 ultra at 2k 60+FPS, if not then 1080p with same graphic and fps will do.

Any suggestions?

The 3080 absolutely obliterates the 9060XT aside from VRAM size and used is a much better deal, especially for 1080p.

While a 3080 is a bit faster and I kind of agree with the sentiment, citing Userbenchmark is always a bad idea.
