What are you looking for?
RTX 50 just dropped, they’re in the “beta early adopter” phase, AKA expensive for people with more dough than smarts. They’re the same TSMC 4N process as the RTX 40, and unless you have a PCIe 5.0 motherboard, the RTX 50 makes little sense. No need to go to used market, but I’d personally stick to the 4060/4070 for the time being, or the Radeon RX 7600/7700.
If you need some serious AI oomph… then go to the pro line, there are some nice RTX Ada for less than $10k, or rent some cloud H100s.

Nope, none of that. I was just wondering seeing all these people online not being able to get any GPUs for the last like 5 years now? I have an RX6600 that I got from Facebook for $100 and it has been serving me well. Waiting for the new AMD GPUs to see how good they are (that is where my post stemmed from) so I can snag one and give the 6600 to my son. If I can’t get any of the new AMDs, I was going to get the 7800xt and call it a day.
