Acceptable pricing for a used1080ti

[UI-7]

Hello there!

 

I feel kind of bad for bringing this up in a time where many are not able to get their hands on a GPU, but I'm still running my 5+ year old GTX960 and one of my friends has recently bought a new computer and doesn't need his 3-ish year old GTX1080ti from gigabyte anymore.

 

He agreed to let me buy it for a friendship price that corresponds with a not screwed up GPU market, so I've been trying to figure out what a reasonable price would be and need some help with it.

 

Thanks in advance!

Well, uh... The 1080TI is an exceptional card. I almost bought a 1080TI for $400 USD at the beginning of the pandemic, but I missed out and ended up with a Vega 64 for the same price.

 

I just saw a 1080TI listed on my local CL for $1,120 today, which made me lol. That said, I'm going to try listing my Vega 64 for $600. I see 1080TI's for $750 and up right now, if my card doesn't sell, I'll jam it in my old Xeon box and mine on it.

Under normal circumstances a used 1080 ti in good condition would be around or just under 300 usd.

Well it depends on where you live in and what the prices are like right now. Where I'm from, a 1080ti goes for around $500 and an RTX 3060 will run you ~$800. 

So, for example, a friendly price here would be around $400, since it's pretty fair in regards to the market.

There isn't really a "recommended price", it just comes down to what you value it and what the general consensus is.

 

So how much would a normal 1080ti cost, at the inflated price?

Ye though depends on where you live, Eg a 1080ti here has never sold for under $400, cause 1060s are still $250-$300. So it pretty much just comes down to how bad you want the card and what the normal non-inflated price would be

Under normal circumstances. I bought a 1060 3gb before the pandemic for 158 usd, it was basically new.

Yeah, but I'm not sure where he lives. Though it's all information he shouldn't have trouble finding

depending on how old it is no more than 50 less than msrp so say msrp is 350 dont pay more than 300 thats an example i dont know what the actual msrp on the 1080ti is

Thanks for the insight! I live in germany and a 1080ti starts at around 600€ so around 700USD.

 

My friend and I were talking about something in the 350€ range which puts it a good chunk below a 3060ti's original msrp here of 419€ and its updated msrp of 499€.

 

Of course its used and doesn't have features like DLSS or raytracing (which as a 1080p fps gamer don't matter to me) but seems very reasonable to me. 

 

Sorry, should have given that information from the start!

Nice.

I would say 350 Euro would have been a fair price for a 1080ti right now if you pretended there wasn't a horrible GPU shortage and scalper prices.

I'd paid ~340USD (converted from local currency) for a Leadtek GTX 1080 about 3 years back, but it was still under about 18 months of warranty. So, 350USD for a used GTX 1080 Ti without warranty sounds about right. The GTX 1080 Ti should do pretty well at 4K with FSR supported titles. Even my GTX 1080 can do Godfall at 4K with FSR Quality preset (ingame preset at max IIRC).

 

Just a reminder to OP, be sure that your PSU is up to the task of running that card, if so, enjoy it!

Yup! Sounds fine, and yeah thanks for the heads up. I have a seasonic 850 watt so I should be more than fine.
