Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.
Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
The seller is new or has few reviews.
The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).
If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.
B580 is getting harder to find... feels like its about to vanish everywhere. This might be one of the last good deals on one, unless you have a Microcenter nearby (its $309 there).
Welcome to 2026.. where the 5050 is $500. Nothing wrong with the B580 for most games. Its still got 12GB of VRAM and is faster than the 3060 12GB which is now $150 more than this at most retailers.
3060ti is 225-250 for more performance. 6700xt provides more performance. No one is buying a 5050 or 5060 compared to many other cards that are out there
Fixed this for you - it's about a 10% difference on average. And I say that as someone who thinks that the 3060 Ti was a phenomenal product and probably the best value GPUs up until the B580 launched.
To answer your question, though, a lot of people are just afraid of buying used. And while I roll my eyes at the folks who pretend that an 8gb card is useless (it's not, especially at 1080p), if I can get more VRAM for a marginally higher price, I'm willing to do so.
What are good used 1080p cards that might be cheaper than this in your opinion?
I run a mini gaming cafe and I need to upgrade off of 1660 Supers now that a lot of games are requiring hardware ray tracing.
I built a pc with this 8 months ago and don't really have any complaints at all. palworld was crashing every couple hours after 1.0 launch and they patched the driver within a week
They're less exciting at these prices but, yeah, the Intel cards have been solid for me. I've got a B570 that I picked up for a secondary machine around the holidays last year for $170 (with a free game!) and it's been a great little card for 1080p. A lot of folks seemed to worry that the product line would be abandoned back when Intel announced that they were stepping back because of the current state of things, but software and driver updates have continued at a pretty regular pace.
The B580 will be great for 1080p, and should even perform well for some 1440p gaming.
9070s are not $500 cards anymore.. more like $700 if you are lucky. Even the GRE is getting hard to find for less than $600. The B580 is the only good budget card left.
If you're talking new, then you're lucky if you find the 9070 GRE for $500 these days. I swear it feels like the market was a completely different world just 2-3 weeks ago.
Valid honestly. If you have the money, nvidia is literally a better investment than stocks and gold if you plan to sell in the next year or two. so genuinely do buy any card you can as the price will go up and possibly become a form of currency if it already isn’t now. You have a great system too, and with AMD out of the picture, intel really is going to bottleneck your overspecced components. NVIDIA seems like the only way for you to go here. That is if you can find a card new or used at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, all that’s still “worth it” for the price is likely the 70 series, 5070/ti. It just makes the most sense compared to the higher cards and lower cards being way too much for the price. $500 for a 60/ti or over $1200 for a 5080/ti. 5070 has retained its value at about $700-$800 kind of well. The prime series 5070 (non ti) is about $800.
