I'm on a tight budget and looking for a second-hand GPU for just $60. What are my options? I'm hoping to find something that'll run at least some games without breaking the bank. Any suggestions?

Honestly, your best bet might be to wait and save a bit more. At $60, you’re really limited, and you might end up with something that just won’t meet your needs. Aim for at least $100 if you can!
Realistically, you're not going to get much for $60. Either save a bit more or hope for a local seller who's got something decent sitting around. Otherwise, you might just end up with integrated graphics.
If you check places like eBay or Facebook Marketplace, you might find an RX 580 or a GTX 1060 for about $60. Just be wary of condition—they're usually a bit worn out. But these can run 1080p games decently if you're okay with some settings adjustments!
Look around, you might find some old cards like GTX 1060 for about $75 to $80. They’re starting to show their age but might still handle your games if you’re not super picky.
Honestly, for $60, you're probably looking at the used market, and it's slim pickings. You might be lucky enough to find an older GTX card, something like a GTX 1060 or an RX 580 if you're in a good area. Just keep an eye out!
Yeah, I've seen RX 580s pop up occasionally for around that price if you're quick.
That sounds promising, but are there any games that might struggle on those cards?
