![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
