![]() ![]() In a normal market, that's a laughably bad deal, but today it's actually decent and it certainly beats buying a RX 580 for the same money, especially given that model was selling brand new for ~$150 about two years ago. The GTX 1070 launched in mid 2016 with an MSRP of $380 and today you're paying roughly that price for a used model. However, if you're willing to spend what should be RTX 3060 Ti money ( $400) on an old GeForce GTX 1070, that means you could get to enjoy all the latest and greatest games using respectable quality settings. As ridiculous as that sounds – and it is – this is a decent deal and makes the GTX 1060 one of the cheaper and better value graphics cards you can pick up at the moment. ![]() Later we moved on to the much more affordable GeForce GTX 1060 6GB which could comfortably be had for around $300, or $50 above the MSRP set 5 years prior. Most recently it seems to be going back down, so something to watch. It all started with the Radeon RX 580 8GB which was $300 when we started recommending it earlier in the year, but sadly by the time we got to it, the asking price had skyrocketed to $400-500 a piece. Over the past few weeks we've been checking out previous-gen graphics cards, which could be used as a stop-gap solution to the GPU shortage if you can get them second hand for a good price. ![]()
