I recently upgraded my PC components and moved from an RTX 2060 Super to an RTX 5070 Ti, but I'm finding I don't really need all that power for my gaming needs. I've decided to sell my RTX 5070 Ti for the same price I bought it, as people aren't willing to pay extra for entry-level cards in my area. Now, I'm looking for a used GPU that can still give me decent performance on medium-high settings. I have a 1440p monitor with a 200 Hz refresh rate, so I'd love to hit at least half of that refresh rate in most games. Any recommendations?

You might want to check out the pricing on a 4070 Super or a 3080. Those could be great options if you're willing to spend a bit more on a used card.
I would go for a new 9070 XT. It matches the performance of the 5070 Ti but is cheaper. If you’re dead set on used, sticking to good deals is essential since warranties can be a gamble. Just make sure it’s a reliable seller!
Exactly! Buying from someone who’s selling several GPUs means they’re likely reputable and not trying to dump a malfunctioning card.
Definitely look into the 4070 or 4070 Super. Those cards will provide solid performance for your gaming needs!
The 9060 XT 16GB could really be a long-term solution, especially given your experience with the 5070 Ti. Alternatively, a 3060 12GB could work too, though I think you might be underutilizing your CPU with that one.
If you're looking for something used, I suggest considering the 9060 XT. It's powerful enough for your needs, especially if you can find it at a good price. Plus, since you’re fine with medium-high settings, it should serve you well!
I've had a good experience buying used GPUs. I got a 1080 Ti that's still running smoothly after 8 years! Look for sellers with multiple listings; it’s a safer bet that way.
