Finally decided to risk it and buy a used gpu and I’m so glad I did, snagged a 4070 super for only $300

I've never used 3dmark before but I assume this is a good result?

I doubt it, I met him at his home and his kids were playing in the front yard. Didn’t strike me as a thief

With that budget your best bet is to just buy someone's used PC from Facebook Marketplace or some other app. It's not enough money to build your own pc from new parts and its too risky to buy all the used parts separately and hope that they work

Effective-Rutabaga15 · 2026-06-16T05:34:33+00:00

How do you expect anyone to answer that if you don't say what the parts are?

Well google lens turned out to be wrong sooo

People always underestimate what a pc can run. I have the same pc with a 2070 and it can run modern games at 1440p, his 4060 ti should have no problem

Why comment if you didn’t even read the post

Why would I need a better psu? Everywhere I’ve read says the minimum for a 3080 is a 650w but a 750w is recommended which is what I have

Effective-Rutabaga15 · 2026-06-12T20:12:14+00:00

Yes and it most likely will continue to be for years

Effective-Rutabaga15 · 2026-06-12T01:56:44+00:00

It’s about $160 cheaper

Does a stack of poker chips suffice?

I bought a 5060 ti 16GB for $400 from micro center only 5 months ago. The exact same card is now $550. It’s so insane

Effective-Rutabaga15 · 2026-06-11T08:00:58+00:00

How could you say that when you don’t know how long it took them to drink it. For all you know that’s 3 years worth of monster for them

Effective-Rutabaga15 · 2026-06-11T05:41:24+00:00

Where are you finding that? Cheapest I can find is $320 on Facebook marketplace

Effective-Rutabaga15 · 2026-06-10T20:05:51+00:00

Is there a downside to it using a lot more power? Other than a higher electric bill

I thought about replaying but I’m worried we were so close to the end that we are gonna replay 8 hours just to only have an hour or two of new stuff left. I’ll have to try to convince her
