I'm looking for the best graphics card I can buy for around $300. I have an i7 10th gen processor and I'm planning to sell my current GPU, a 2060, for about $50. I've heard that the used market can be great for finding deals. Any recommendations?

I sold a 3080 recently for about $300; they go pretty fast but you can find them if you look carefully online. If you don't mind a little extra cost, a 5060Ti is available for about $350 right now.
Check your local listings; you might find a used RTX 3080 for around your budget. The performance boost is significant compared to your 2060, but make sure to evaluate the condition before purchasing.
On Amazon, you can find an RTX 5060 for approximately $325, or sometimes get lucky with a good deal on a 4060 just under $300. Those are solid choices for someone upgrading.
If you're dealing with the used market, focus on checking eBay or local listings regularly. You could snag a 3070 Ti or 2080 Ti within that budget. Just be wary of potential scams.
If you're open to new units, consider getting an RTX 5050. It’s currently priced just over $300 and offers about 45% improved performance over the 2060. Just keep in mind, a used RTX 3080 would be a better deal in terms of raw power.
