How much can i sell my ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060 on ebay? I have seen this card sell for 300-400 AUD and I'm thinking of getting a new GPU like a Asus GeForce RTX 3060 ROG Strix Gaming OC 12GB so i could Maybe sell it for 250 or 300? I have had it for 2-3 years and I've had no problems with it at all and it still performs great i just don't have the box anymore.

Look at what the posts that haven't sold for over a month are at. You need to go lower than that.

Doesn't Ebay have a log that shows what the end price was?

Getting a 3060 12gb is not worth it imo, also won't be able to utilize the 12gb vram in gaming. It was made as a mining card. I would save up and buy something better or get something used instead:

so like a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING OC 10GB?

You can sell it for around 100-150 dollars. It's quiter old but it's an ROG Strix card so it's a little more worth

Not a great buy neither, 10GB VRAM is not good startng at 1440p

With a new 6600 at $200 a 2060 is maybe worth $150 tops, that's 225AUD, but 200AUD would be more reasonable

I actually would not sell it right away. It's always good to have a spare part incase the new one breaks.

When you have used your new gpu for some time and are confident it works well then you can sell it.

I appreciate you have mostly just asked for resale value estimates, but we're bound to look at the differential between what you have now and what you're thinking about buying....

 

Direct answer:

 

Just ignore all the "Buy It Now" around AUD280-AUD400 unless you're prepared to wait for months.... here's only one on sale (AU eBay) as a genuine auction (AUD250) and 0 bids... plus lots of international cards around AUD200 or lower (mostly ~AUD180), so probably expect it to go for around AUD200 +/- 10% - somebody might be prepared to pay AU200 as a local buyer, rather than a AUD180 purchase from EU/US.... you could start it at AUD150 on a longer auction with a AUD220 BuyItNow.... but it might only go for AUD150!

 

The bigger picture:

 

You haven't said what you're using it for. Gaming only? If so what resolution, monitor (target frame rate?) and what games? Some games will benefit more from VRAM over anything else, in which case, we'll say a RX6700XT or higher.... others will benefit more from staying with nVidia. Also, streaming? Content creation? Bitcoin mining (since electricity is so cheap in Oz!).

 

Prices vary a lot per region, especially in your case where postage/import/export restrictions keep the market artificially isolated, so US/EU prices can be very different. Your local prices will be up/down from what we see in the EU, so it all depends on when the cards came out or how limited the Aus supply was (can make some pretty ordinary cards over-priced) and also on the lower side, when any local coin-miners dumped that type of card on your local market - this can have a huge impact in a smaller, isolated market.

 

As mentioned above, look at the closed or "close to closing" eBay auctions, not the people who are holding out for unrealistic "buy it now" or reserve prices. Just watch a few and track the actual closed auction prices of similar cards.

That would be huge and worthwhile step up in performance, but also budget... and a lot of 1440P games are pushing around 10Gb already, even without RayRacing, so you're not buying a lot of headroom there, even for Raster-only gaming (i.e. non ray-traced) - I don't even enable RT on my RTX3080Ti for games like Fortnite as the frames drop to 75fps in eye-candy mode at 1440P... I'd rather play in "Performance" with 170fps 1% lows

 

You'll always lose a bit on trading in an older card and buying a newer one, so make sure you get a reasonable increase (or be prepared to waste a lot of money with lots of small steps).... in terms of "worthwhile" upgrades from a RTX2060, ignore the RTX3060/RTX4060 (small increase for the cost).... the first that would be worth looking at the budget end would be the RX6600XT, but even that is a small step.... really try to aim for at least the RX6700XT (12Gb) or possibly even a RTX3060Ti (8Gb) would be a worthwhile step up in certain scenarios that favour nVidia (e.g. Fortnite) and obviously the RTX3080 is a huge step up, especially if you get the 12Gb version that doesn't sell at much of a premium, but will give you a little more headroom.

I'm new to all this stuff so i don't know much or what to buy but i would want to play on 1440p or if i play on a 4k tv i would good fps  the GPU i want is something that will give you good fps at 4k gaming/1440p while being a decently cheap price

 

 

And when i had a look at the auction i found 

Gainward Phantom NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB Gaming Video Card GPU for 510$

And a ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX3070 8GB GPU (Non-LHR) Graphics Card for 410$

Would any of those be good?

Which games?  It varies a LOT per game.

 

Cheap price + 4K gaming are not normally compatible unless you want to run VERY, VERY low quality... and even then, might not always work.

 

Probably need to decide on 1440P vs 4k (2160P) as it is not a 50% increase in requirements: it is 50% extra in two dimensions (horizontal and vertical).... 150%x150%=225%.... so the card needs to drive more than double the number of pixels in each texture, etc.

 

This means that VRAM requirements double too.... not just amount of VRAM, but the VRAM bandwidth... e.g the RTX4060Ti 16Gb has a VERY narrow memory bandwidth, so it will not cope with 4k gaming, despite being a "16Gb VRAM" card.

 

e.g. I've got a GTX1660S (6Gb) on a LG C2 TV (4K 120Hz) and that will get 60fps on 4K Fortnite.... at Performance mode (low quality, almost wireframe), but probably won't run most other games at 4K at all and Fortnite Performance mode is usually used for getting 200fps+ so you keep the fps at the same as your screen refresh. Normally we run games on that at 1080P and let the screen scale it up to 4K....

 

Even a RTX3080 would struggle with a lot of games at 4K >60fps if you wanted high quality. FSR/DLSS would scale it up to 4K better, but you won't want to use that on competitive FPS games (slight latency increase)... but it's a good compromise for single player "eye candy" games.

 

Hence the question "which games?".

[BahnStormer]

If you don't choose which games you want 60fps 4K in, but just aiming for "most games", then you're looking at AUD1600 for a RTX4080SUPER.

 

This is the variance for a "90fps" card.... anything from 45fps (I'm ignoring City Skylines), lots around 60fps and some at ~180fps.

 

Below are the 4K "averages".... but that can vary from half to double the average... depending on the game.... so something like a RTX3080 scrapes "60fps", but that will vary from 30fps to 120fps..... and a RTX4060Ti 16Gb gets 40fps AVERAGE (so probably anything from 20fps-80fps).

seeing the list you just gave me i think I'm going to go for RTX 3080 10gb or a RX 6900 XT 16gb but probably the 3080 Thanks for all the advise

Both very solid cards. Still worth looking up reviews on which games you want it for... RX6900XT is about 10% faster on average than a RTX3080 AND has 60% more VRAM, so it will handle higher res games in the future slightly better....

 

That said, personally I know the only game that I play that needs high fps favours nVidia cards (Fortnite) and the rest of my games run acceptably well on them.... that wouldn't be the case if my main game was something like Hitman2!

Unless you need CUDA for apps/AI or really want RT/DLSS get the 6900XT it has 16GB VRAM...

Or a new 7800XT won't be much more expensive
