I'm looking to upgrade from my 6750xt and I've found some graphics cards listed on Craigslist. There's a 5080 priced at $840 and a 5070 for $490. Both sellers seem trustworthy and can provide proof that the cards are functional. Considering these prices, which GPU gives me the best value?

Honestly, $840 for the 5080 is not bad when you consider the performance gains. Just ask yourself how much more you're willing to pay for that extra performance!
You really need to think about whether you can comfortably spend $840 on a GPU. It might sound appealing, but if it turns out to be defective or a scam, that's a big hit to your wallet!
Exactly! It's not just about the price; you have to consider the risk of spending that much.
The 5080 is a solid choice if you're willing to spend more. It costs about 70% more but offers 50% better performance, which could make it worth it in the long run. But remember, the 5070 gives a better price-to-performance ratio.
I agree, the 5080 looks appealing, but for $350 less, the 5070 might be smarter unless you really need that extra power.
Also, keep in mind future-proofing! The 5080 might serve you better down the line.
