I'm in a bit of a tough spot trying to decide on a used graphics card for my budget PC setup. I've got a few options that all seem appealing: a 4060 and an RTX 3070, both priced at 190 Swiss francs, or an RX 7800 XT for 330 Swiss francs, and an RTX 3080 10GB for 300 Swiss francs. I mainly game at 1080p but sometimes at 1440p. Which of these cards do you think offers the best value for money?

Considering the prices you're looking at, I’d say the RTX 3070 for 190 CHF is your best bet. It delivers great performance for gaming and outshines the 4060 without breaking the bank. The RTX 3080 for 300 CHF is a strong contender too, but it does have higher power consumption and heat output. The RX 7800 XT isn't really worth it at 330 CHF, especially since the 3070 would suit your 1080p and 1440p gaming well. If your power supply is up to handling the 3080 and you want extra performance, go for it, but for pure value, the 3070 is the way to go!
Isn’t the 7800 XT better in terms of raw power compared to the 3080? Also, when I factor in shipping, the prices are pretty close. If you're open to the more expensive options, why not consider the 3070 as a solid choice over the others?
