I'm trying to look for an upgrade for my graphics card, as when I built my first pc back in August of 2019, I overpaid for a gtx 1050 non ti for around 160$. I didn't realize what I could've gotten for around 200$ or more. What would be a good upgrade path for this card? I've looked around at a gtx 1660 super on ebay for around 200$ flat. I'm not sure if mining cards are still common on used markets, but I'm leaning more and more toward that price every day. Any suggestions for performance boosts, or different pricing around different cards?

An RX580 performs basically the same as the 1660 and you can get them from 150usd as a buy it now on eBay or as low as 80usd on auction, also you can get brand new rx580's for around 150usd on sale or 170 brand new. For around 200usd you can get a  1070ti on a auction, but it was probably a mining card. The 1070 is going to be a lot stronger but its questionable for how long it's going to last, i would probably go for a brand new rx580 if i were you.
