I found a used RTX 3060 Ti XC on eBay for $180. I'm mainly a 1080p gamer and don't plan on jumping to 4K anytime soon, so I'm considering whether this would be a good choice for 1080 to 1440p gaming. The seller assured me that the card works perfectly and will be repasted and dust-free before shipping. However, I've seen mixed reviews about the 3060 Ti and am unsure if I should save up for something better or just go for it. I currently have a GTX 1070 FE. What do you think?

The price for a used 3060 Ti usually hovers around $180 to $220, so this deal seems solid. If it’s in good working condition and the seller is trustworthy, you should be fine going for it! Just make sure to check the warranty or return policy if possible.
If you’re eyeing 1440p gaming, maybe consider alternatives like the 9060 XT 16GB or the upcoming 5060 Ti. They’re pricier, but they’d offer better longevity for your setup. The 3060 Ti is decent, but there are options that could serve you better in the long run.
Good suggestions, but keep in mind not everyone can stretch their budget that far. It’s like suggesting a brand new luxury car to someone looking for a second-hand compact! Not the most realistic advice for everyone.
That’s fair! I am on a budget and just need a good upgrade for now.
