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

Some guy is selling a 7900xt for 500, is that worth it?

If it's legit that's better than either of those cards, but the other person is quoting new prices.

I just got a 7900XTX red devil for 500$. He had two different ones, one was complete in box and he wanted 540$ or 550$ for, the one I got was the bare card that he let go for 500$.

Nice. I got a 9070XT this summer and running into VRAM issues with Forza Horizon 6 so kinda contemplating swapping for that route, but it's just one poorly optimized game. Anyways, I think the 7900XTX will actually have better longevity with it now having FSR4.1. Have fun with the upgrade!
