Ok, I just assumed that a r9 380 would be better than an rx 570 since I am seeing it be sold for 300 dollars new.

It's $300 because prices on things go completely out of wack when they are discontinued and no longer available new. It hasn't been sold new at regular retail in almost 3 years. 

 

Rx 570 has probably 50% better performance than a 380

Hey, I found an r9 380 4gb for about 85 to 90 dollars used from a reputable seller that I know. Is this a good price and a good card? I mostly play rainbow six and the occasional fortnite. Would this be good for 1080p 60fps high to medium settings? Thanks a lot for any help!

GTX 970's for around $100 would be better choice if available to you but if your goal is 1080p60 it will work fine.

That's what rx 570s are going for used. Even less on Ebay. You can find them in Ebay for under $80 so I would never pay $80 for a r9 380.

 

If you want to buy from Amazon or Newegg you will have to buy new. A RX 570 4gb is around $130 on Newegg. Comes with 2 free games. People have been selling the games for around $40. Or keep the games if you are into them

Amazon cleared out tons of Sapphire cards for $99.99, if you watch like r/buildapcsales or setup a slickdeals alert you should be able to get a good deal. I don't think i'd pay $160 for a RX 570 when you can grab new RX 580's for $20 more.

Amazon is one of the authorized retailers for AMD's gifts. Same two games for my link. Just a higher end model card. It's the ROG Strix with an 8pin instead of 6pin, and better cooling.
