What is the best graphics card in the $200-300 range? - BeastyIsFresh - Jan 4, 2020

Looking into getting a graphics card in the $200-$300 range. Am I better off getting a 1660 SC 1660 Ti Radeon or a used 1070 ti? Is it recommended to buy a used or not to buy a used graphics card? Thanks!

How much are you getting the 1070ti for? 1070ti should be about 15-20% faster than a 1660ti/1660 Super.
If you're paying around $300, I would recommend the RX 5700 instead. It's significantly faster than the 1070ti, 1660ti/1660 Super.

I don’t really have a set 1070ti yet I’m seeing them on eBay in the $220-$260 range and then I have a $33 coupon from my eBay bucks. I just don’t know how I feel about buying used stuff

If you're not comfortable buying used, then I would spend a bit more and get a brand new RX 5700 like this one:

I ended up extending my budget a little bit and bought a MSI Duke 1080 TI off ebay for $420! Thank you for your time!
