Hey everyone! My 3080 12GB has started crashing, and I've been told it's degraded and beyond repair. I'm in need of a new GPU for 1440p gaming, and my budget is around $600. I'm okay with buying used from sites like eBay. My current setup includes a Ryzen 9 5900X and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. Any recommendations would be super helpful! Thanks!

If you're buying used, try to find a 4070 Ti Super. It's a fantastic value for the performance. Otherwise, the 5070 is a great option. Just a heads up, steer clear of any RNDA3 products; they fall short on features like upscaling.
You can look for a used RX 9070 (or 9070XT) - they often go for less than a new 5070. It's a solid choice if you find a good deal.
Before you take anyone's word for it, have you tried troubleshooting? Sometimes older cards can have thermal issues that just need a simple repasting.
The best card you can snag under $600 right now is the 5070. It handles 1440p gaming really well. The 9070 is another option, but it might push you a bit over budget.
