new gpu purchase place

[PCAlex]

I am looking to buy a new GPU and I would like to know what the best place to buy either second hand or new gpus in Australia.

I was looking at Jawa.gg but i am unsure if it is a good place to buy in Australia.

any advice would be great.

PSU?

I'd say a 6750 xt should fit nicely in budget PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6750 XT 12 GB Video Card (AXRX 6750 XT 12GBD6-3DH) - PCPartPicker

Just gaming?

Here are all the reasons to get that 2080Ti instead of the 7650XT:

• Its used and out of warranty
• Released over 2 years earlier
• Performs worse
• Slightly less VRAM
• Requires more power to run, generates more heat
• Does not support DLSS 3
• Performance gets wrecked if you enable raytracing

Ever stuck with a psycho swinger of a partner just because of their looks? This is your opportunity for that experience

I don't quite understand that 

my main question is if i can find a 3070 for a similar price, should i get it?

My buddies tried to warn me. If I were to ignore what they spelled out clearly in my face and randomly propose to go with psycho swinger's sister, maybe they should not have bothered at all

used cards are great value, even if it is out of warranty it still performs better than the 6750 xt

that's just not true. 6750 xt wins on some occasions but if the features are important to them then that definitely goes above slightly better gaming performance in some games

same with the 6750 xt, and where was the mention in the post that they wanted to use RT at all?

yes but with the AIB card I linked above it should be more than capable of sustaining that heat and power. Both cards will fit with OP's PSU as their recommended PSUs are both 600W

I don't see frame gen useful with the latency hit it brings, if OP is playing slower paced games then fine

But the 6750 XT doesn't support DLSS 3 and it doesn't even support DLSS

it's a graphics card for a computer, not a mate for life. Maybe you're saying this because of a previous experience for emphasis, but don't. You've already made your point

nope, 3070 is going to be around the same price but with less vram so it's not good value

2080 ti is slightly better than the 6700 xt so if you’re okay with going used I’d get that
