Good gpu for the money?

[TrainFan475]

What's the best value gpu around the $200 price range? A new gtx 1660 seems like a bad deal compared to a used gtx 1070 or a used gtx 980.

$200 USD? Where are you located? What's resolution & refresh rate is your display? What games do you play?

 

A used card can be an excellent value, but YMMV. Even better if a used card is still under its original warranty, but often times you'll need the original receipt/invoice to do a warranty claim. If you're feeling extra risky, there's still amazing value to be had here, even on units with an expired warranty.

You could always settle for a RX580... it's very good at 1080p still.

USD. I'm currently using a 1440 x 900 display but I plan on getting either a 1080p or 1440p  monitor in the future. (at least 120 hertz)

Used GTX 1070 would be the way to go. You are getting 1660 ti performance and you do laps around a RX 590. 

 

It is too bad Vega 56 prices are still too high. Too many people flash it to Vega 64 levels and never need to sell it

for $150 or around that the Radeon 570X is good

For $200 and under you can get a good used or refurbished GTX 980, sometimes I see GTX 980's Craigslist for as cheap as $120, and I have seen used GTX 1070 blower cards for a little more than $200 and better cooler types for 250+. Another option is to keep an eye on EVGA's B stock for good deals.

I my opinion both cards are good options.

A recent model used card will pretty much always be better value than a new card. I picked up a used RX480 8GB for $150 CAD ($115 USD) and for that price definitely not going to get anything brand new that performs remotely near as well.

I don’t recommend buying used cards

as they can have reduced life span(my gtx 1060 stopped working with 10 months)that may not true in very case  though I would recommend buying an gtx 1660ti
