When I upgraded to a 3070 I sold my 1080 Ti for 50% more than I paid for it and at this point I think I could have gotten more (it was a blower so not exactly a desirable card though). Cost me 100 bucks after tax to do the upgrade. Then I scored a 3080 and sold the 3070 for $700 plus shipping.

It's to the point where I'm thinking about selling my "backup" 1060 3GB card, but if my GPU died then I would be in real trouble because lol at getting ahold of GPUs right now.

ETh DAG is over 4GB now, no one wants 3GB cards

prices are still over $150 which is more than I paid for it new back in 2017.

like, shockingly to some, there exists a market for GPUs for doing things other than mining. And not all coins require 8GB cards either.

Over $200 in US, closer to $300 in EU. More than MSRP for a 5 year old product.

A year ago I bought a RTX 3070 when I rebuilt my entertainment rig. I replaced a GTX1080 and got rid of it. I should have kept it and resold it. It's crazy and I wish there were two categories of cards. Mining cards and Gaming cards. Looks like NVidia feels the same and is making dedicated cards for the basement farmers.

Maybe you are confusing with the series 20XX? The RTX 3070 were only released a bit more than 4 months ago.

You’re right, it’s a 2070

Yeah I sold my 1660 GTX for £40 more than I paid for it after 2 years. Was shocked.

Same, bought a GTX1660 Super, and the price doubled since. It's madness what's happening on the GPU market.
