Is it worth spending $840 on a 5080 or should I go for the 5070 at $490?

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?
Answers
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.

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!
BudgetWatcher21: Exactly! It's not just about the price; you have to consider the risk of spending that much.

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!
SneakyBuyer: Also, keep in mind future-proofing! The 5080 might serve you better down the line.

ValueHunter42: I agree, the 5080 looks appealing, but for $350 less, the 5070 might be smarter unless you really need that extra power.
