How-To Geek argues that second-hand AMD RX 6000 and RX 7000 graphics cards can still offer strong value for gamers squeezed by today’s GPU prices. Its example is a used RX 6800 XT for about $400 to $450, which the article says can match or slightly outperform an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB while costing roughly half as much.
Why it mattersThe article also suggests the RX 6700 as a useful performance target for a budget gaming PC, comparing it with the PlayStation 5’s custom AMD hardware. These are the author’s buying recommendations, not a fresh head-to-head test. Used-card condition and local prices vary, so check both before handing over your money. The trade-off is that buying used means doing your homework on the individual card. But when new GPUs are carrying hefty premiums, a previous-generation card may be the more sensible way into modern games.
Discuss: Would you buy a tested used GPU to save hundreds, or pay extra for a new card and its warranty?
