I'm looking for a graphics card that offers good performance but stays under the $450 mark. Ideally, I want something that can match the performance of the RTX 3080 or RX 6800. Any recommendations?

If you're open to used options, I’d say check for a used RTX 3080 or RX 6800. I’ve seen them go for around $380 to $400. That’s your best bet for performance! Just be cautious about the condition.

Yeah, I agree! About six months ago, the RX 6800 was about $380, but new options like the RTX 4060 now are less powerful, closer to 3060 Ti performance. You might have to spend big to hit 3080 performance these days.

Do you need it right away? If not, you might want to hold off a few weeks or months for better prices or promotions. Also, going for a card with at least 12GB would be smart for some future-proofing!

Nope, I’ll be building my rig in a month.

My buddy sold his 3080 for around $400, which I think is solid. If you can snag a used one, it’s great value. Otherwise, I went for a new RX 7800 XT for $570, and it's doing well—just slightly more performant than a 3060 Ti and around 10% faster than the 3080. But honestly, you can find a used 6800 XT for more VRAM, which is a solid choice too! I saw an RX 7800 XT on eBay for $420—definitely worth watching for deals!

What about new GPUs? I’m not really comfortable with buying used cards.

If you're looking for a new GPU, consider the RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB at an MSRP of $430. Also, keep an eye out for the RX 7800 XT or RX 7900 GRE if good options pop up!

Is it really worth it? A newer GPU at such a low price feels kind of off.
