I found a used Radeon RX 6700 XT listed for $235 and was tempted to buy it immediately, but I wanted to check whether it still holds up well for 1080p gaming. I mainly play single-player games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077, and I may also use it for VR games like Boneworks. I'm considering pairing it with a Ryzen 5 5600X3D and 16GB of DDR4 memory. Is this a good combination, and is the price reasonable if the card is in good condition?

It should be excellent for 1080p gaming and remains capable at 1440p as well. The main limitations are ray tracing, path tracing, and some newer games that use more than its 12GB of VRAM, especially with very high-resolution textures.
That’s a solid price assuming the card is in good condition. The RX 6700 XT handles 1080p at medium-to-high settings very well, and it can also perform nicely at 1440p. For demanding games like Cyberpunk and RDR2, a capable CPU is important too.
Yes, $235 is a good used price for an RX 6700 XT, and it’s still a very viable graphics card. It should handle a wide range of games smoothly, including many at 1440p if you adjust the settings.
For the games you listed, it should be a great value. Just check that the card runs at normal temperatures, the fans work properly, and there are no signs of instability before buying.
I was thinking about pairing it with a Ryzen 5 5600X3D and 16GB of DDR4, so hopefully that should be enough.
