Today we're exploring the used graphics card market,naked video sex video sex something we don't often cover, but with the launch of the GeForce RTX 3080 as well as upcoming launches from AMD, we suspect many will be looking to upgrade their GPU and sell their old one on the used market. So now is a good time to look into the situation and give you our thoughts.
This article will be primarily about providing information to prospective GPU sellers and used GPU buyers. How much can you expect to get for your current GPU? How much value has it lost since launch? Is your card selling at a good price right now, or is it more favorable to buyers? Are there any good deals on the used market?
We're looking at mid-range and high-end cards, so anything with a launch MSRP above $250 from the last two generations of Nvidia and AMD GPUs. On the green side, that's Turing and Pascal, while on the red team that's Navi and Vega. We'll skip over lower end cards as most of the incoming GPU refreshes will directly target the mid to upper segments and that's where we'd expect most of used sales to be occurring.
For pricing used graphics cards we used Ebay. Obviously this concentrates the data on the US market and through a single marketplace, but it's the best general reference because of its popularity. There are many other places where you can sell GPUs and you might be able to find better deals outside of Ebay, but for the purpose of our data gathering, that's what we used.
