eBay Historical GPU Prices 2023: November 2023 Update

Original text from July follows:

We're going to do full quarterly updates moving forward, with the intervening months focusing just on the price tables. The RTX 4060 also became available at the end of June, but so far no one has purchased such a card off eBay — no real surprise considering the GPUs are readily available online at MSRP.

Since we're now in July, the previous full month of data comes from June. We filter the sold listings on eBay, removing junk listings (e.g. box only, image of card, bundles, broken cards, etc.) to collect average prices. Some people pay quite a bit more while others pay substantially less, but the month to month trends are the primary focus.

Other than the "new" GeForce RTX 4060, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, and Radeon RX 7600 cards that didn't have any significant volume (and the same goes for the Intel Arc A770 8GB and A380), nearly everything trended down slightly and you can find some good deals — if you're willing to buy a used graphics card. Note that there's less risk with the latest generation hardware, since all of those GPUs launched long after Ethereum mining ended.

Despite what you might think represents rock bottom pricing, the previous generation Turing and RDNA GPUs continue to get cheaper. Some of these cards even dropped by 10% or more compared to last month.

It's still pretty amazing how little the Radeon RX 5000-series GPUs cost. The RX 5700 XT uses more power than the latest GPUs, but in terms of performance, it's roughly at the same level as the RTX 3060, Arc A770, and RX 6600 XT in our GPU benchmarks hierarchy. Of course, it also doesn't have any ray tracing support, though for $130 we think that's pretty forgivable.

Given their age, it's a safe bet that nearly all of these older GPUs were used for mining, potentially for a couple of years or more. The exception would be cards with only 4GB of VRAM (GTX 1650, RX 5500 XT 4GB). Caveat emptor, in other words.
