eBay Historical GPU Prices 2023: November 2023 Update

Here's the previous October update. The past few weeks have been crazy busy with GPU updates, like the reviews of the Intel Arc A770, Intel Arc A750, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090. Those all landed in the first two weeks of October, so the launches didn't directly impact GPU prices for September. Indirectly, however, people have been anticipating the arrival of Ada Lovelace GPUs and are less likely to pay high prices for previous generation models.

Comparing the entire month of September to the month of August, GPU prices dropped by 10% on average for current generation cards. A lot of that drop came shortly after the Nvidia RTX 40-series reveal, however.

The highest priced cards again showed the biggest cuts, though plenty of the lower tier models showed decent drops as well. AMD's RX 66xx cards for example all dropped 12–13%. The biggest price drops came on the RTX 3060 Ti (16%) and RX 6800 (14%), with four cards tying at a 13% drop. Meanwhile, the RTX 3060, RTX 3050, RX 6750 XT, RX 6500 XT, and RX 6400 all had less than a 10% decrease — though the last two are getting close to rock bottom.

With the RTX 4090 now officially available, even in the wake of the "unlaunched" RTX 4080 12GB, we expect we'll see further price cuts on any cards that are still selling for more than $700. AMD's RX 7000-series RDNA 3 GPUs will also be revealed (at least in part) on November 3, and many are hoping those will bring some serious competition to the $400–$800 market.

Previous generation cards showed a slightly higher 11% drop in eBay prices over the past month, though that's skewed by massive cuts on the RX 5700 XT and RX 5700, both of which plummeted about 25%. While those two were quite good at cryptocurrency mining, it's also worth noting that they continue to easily outpace any of Nvidia's non-RTX cards in performance. In fact, for standard gaming performance, the RX 5700 still matches the 2060 Super and comes in just behind the RTX 3060, while the 5700 XT ends up matching the new Arc A750 and leads the 3060.

If you're still set on picking up an RTX card so that you can get DLSS and ray tracing support, the RTX 2070 strikes a good blend of price and performance. It's a touch faster than the 2060 Super for nearly the same price, while the 2070 Super and above are a decent bump in cost.
