I'm looking for something that performs on par or a bit better than nVidia 1080Ti, at about the same price point (~300€) and I just can't find any. Significantly newer Radeon RX 6600 cards have 10-20% worse performance according to benchmarks, for a similar price point (300€). 6900XT outperforms it by 30% but costs ~1000€.

I just want to connect 3 screens, play Team Fortress, and have my GPU not die in the next 2 years on the cheap ;-;

Comparing a used to a new card never a 1:1 comparison though. A RX 5700XT performs better than a 1080Ti and is priced around the same.

Do you mean RX 6700XT? 5700XT performs worse than 1080Ti in two benchmarks I checked and I can't even find any to buy :/ Cheapest 6700 I can find is 470€ and does perform slightly better. I just might get that when the prices come down a bit further, thanks.

Edit: Also, 2017 level performance in 2022 shouldn't cost 2017 level prices.

The 1080Ti was not a $300 card, tho ;)

Orly: I paid over A$1200 for a Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme 1080 "Tai" back in 2017.

Still works stellar today, in son's PC.

Did you factor in electricity costs?
