I'd say go on ebay, search "7900xt" (maybe even add MERC) and then on the left side apply the [Sold Item] filter and it will show you 7900xts that have successfully sold. From a quick glance it seems like the XFT Speedster MERC310s are generally going between $550 and $675 or so with a some outliers. Pretty wide range.
Something worth noting is that a lot of people will be having the same exact idea as you, so used GPU prices will likely go down a bit when the new GPUs start releasing due to increased supply and lowered demand.
(That's when I plan to upgrade my GPU, to be honest)

to get them working. Didn't try much other modding tho.
As for the upgrade question, the whole "RTX 5070 performs the same as the 4090" is with DLSS on. Un-enhanced performance will be less than the 4090, potentially a LOT less. Nvidia pulled the same marketing bs with RTX 4060.
Otherwise then yeah, it's probably only going to be marginally better than a 4070 and probably not even as fast as a 4080 in games where DLSS isn't supported, and if every game actually supported DLSS and didn't have issues at all with MFG, then AMD would be absolutely screwed at this point until they follow suit and do the exact same thing.
game mode turned that off because of the delays
why amd and nvidia are doing that on the gpu side is beyond me
Don't forget his job is to make you want something you don't need and won't likely enjoy post-purchase. You just have to be WOWed enough past its return date or until the next big thing comes.
Companies love when people are tricked into updating things every year like cellphones, smart watches, some people even change cars yearly.
But at the end of the day, is it worth the money? Only you know. Me? I think not.
And as others have pointed out, losing that VRAM can be an issue down the line.
As long as game devs are too lazy to optimise games, we can expect the issue of VRAM to persist -- which is true for certain in games that Nvidia themselves put their greasy hands into.
Upsell tech by releasing demos that make older tech obsolete through the use of "newer" yet inefficient methods to achieve less or the same thing -- that's where we are at with graphics fidelity and it's your choice to play along with it or turn against it.
There's more games than ever before vying for our limited time and attention. "Limited time availability" offers keeps us hooked.
The internet is a fast moving place. New hardware releases, everyone talks about it, and people want to be part of it so they buy the thing to be part of the moment. And then the moment passes.
It's all FOMO.
If you really want to make a change though (maybe you want more performance, maybe you want to move to nVidia's drivers, or whatever), then at least wait for real benchmarks. All we have is a marketing presentation and pricing. And while the prices seem "good"... that's mostly presuming performance goes up roughly a tier at each point. If it doesn't (or if it only does under DLSS conditions), then that explains the pricing. Either way, pricing alone is irrelevant until performance is known.
I'm surprised how many people are literally buying the RTX 5070 equals RTX 4090 thing. I would have thought it was obvious since it was comparing not like-for-like conditions, where one had DLSS and the other doesn't. Expect to see nVidia obfuscate comparisons with every new release where it makes the new one look way better than it is on average and in most real world conditions.
It might seem easy to believe though since the RTX 4070 Ti could match an RTX 3090, right? Sort of, but even that wasn't entirely true, and that was a wildly different situation because of how different the RTX 30 and RTX 40 series were structured. The x80 and x90 were basically in the "almost the same" performance spot in the RTX 30 series. It's common knowledge "the RTX 3080 Ti was an RTX 3090 with less VRAM". So you're really saying the RTX 4070 Ti matched the RTX 3080 Ti (and that the RTX 4070 matched the RTX 3080). So the old example was "one GPU moved up a tier" which is the traditional norm and nothing exceptional.
There's two differences now. The x80 and x90 now have a meaningful gap and aren't the same, and the x70 is also split into two launch tiers. So this new claim of the lower x70 matching the previous x90 is more akin to something like "card moves up something like two and a half tiers", which is far less believable. I'm shocked people are buying into it based on cherry pick, situational conditions.
a 1080p build cant look and perform great.you can run in ultra and have high fps
with great graphics same as a 1440 or 4k build.of course the higher res's will graphically
be sharper and better overall graphs but a well built pc is nothing to sneeze at.if your
happy with your performance no need to upgrade..if not figure out where you went wrong
in your build..more likely than not its usually running the wrong resolution.
