USED GRAPHICS CARDS!!! I know this is something that everyone wrestles with because their value is SO intriguing... I finally have a decent variety of budget GPUs to test... HERE WE GO!

System Specs:
CPU: r7 5800x3D
Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin
MB: MSI B350 PC MATE
RAM: 2x16gb 3600 MT/s, CL18
Boot: Samsung 2tb 980 pro (in gen 3)
Case: Phanteks P300a (side panel off)

Some downsides of used GPUs is they are older which means less driver updates into the future, usually worse power efficiency, parts are more prone to failure, and you won't really have a warranty. However, if you do some investigating (which we do here) you can improve your odds dramatically to be in a good position. Is that worth the lower price and possibly better performance though?? Let's find out!
