I recently bought a Titan Xp (2017) on eBay for a total of $581 (tax included) and was wondering how good/bad of a deal that was. The card itself came in excellent condition so that was a bonus.

A Titan XP is pretty much identical in gaming performance to a 1080ti, which means for gaming you paid retail for a 3 year old GPU. However I don't know how screwed graphics card prices are for you, so I'd go look at used 1080ti prices near you and then base how good the deal was off that.

That's pretty pricy, you could get a 3070 for $499 (FE, still goes for $499 on bestbuy as of the drop yesterday) which would definitely outperform it. A 6800 would too. 

 

For a used card that's too high in terms of price imo

Unless it's the Star Wars "collectors" edition and/or has a block on it, my thoughts are you overpaid. Pascal Titans can be had for ~$400 used looking through hardwareswap. Star Wars "collectors" editions run anywhere from $500-575.

Also goes without saying, Titan cards were overpriced to begin with.

So basically a 1080Ti when it comes to gaming performance.

I've seen many GTX 1080s going for 300€ still and 1080Tis for 450-500€, which is utterly insane. Those cards should be worth half of what they are, considering how old they are.

I remember selling my 980s for ~ 280€ each after two years. 

 

So I'd say it's a garbage deal under normal circumstances, but nothing is normal right now... so it's fine? I guess? Still hurts tho...

Yeah I wasn't too sure about prices but with 3000 series scalpers and general shortages I jumped the gun on this, I don't mind too much as long as it wasn't a terrible deal.

I notice 1080ti's tend to run around 500 on ebay for me

Seems horribly overpriced.

Also, graphics cards are very rarely in poor physical condition, even when they're dead.

It would be an ok price if it was in CAD ... now I see that it's in USD so at the very least 33% too expensive imo ...

Depents on what kinda GPU you had before that. 

 

If it was a potato and you really need to play some AAA at very high settings and can spare the money then its like a viable option but still pricey but what could you do? 😛 

 

I still even if I had a potato GPU or no GPU would buy a small model that could barely play 1080p on normal or high and keep with that hoping that prices would normalize..

I recently sold my 1080ti STRIX for $460, and replaced with a $499 3070 FE.  

 

Gained 35% FPS for $40.

 

Bad deal for you.

Really? where did you find that at this price? Good for you eitherway!

 

I sold all of my GPUs in hopes to upgrade them, I mean I knew that the new gen was going to be crazy already got the clue judging from last gen but so I didnt plan to upgrade to new gen what I unfortunately did not expect was 2nd hand old gen prices skyrocketing as well.. that destroyed every hope and plan and now most of my PCs dont have GPUs lol 

 

The biggest hit and what I equally did not expect was the backstab of AMD in the CPU department... I sold my barely used (it was part my new main PC build which I did not use that much though because of work etc ) practically brand new 3950x for "only" 580$ in hopes of upgrading to a 5950x (yea I was stupid enough to expect worse case scenario that CPU to cost like 850 $) and............................................. I have a PC case with mobo ram no GPU and CPU in it amog some PC without GPUs xD 

 

Great first time in my life I think I know how it feels to be a victim of sexual harassment xD
