In the UK right now I can only find a single eBay auction under 100 and everywhere else now has them at about 150+ most at 200 at the moment. I’d say I got a good timely deal.
My brother in Christ, you can get, right now, RX 5600 XTs in the UK for 70 to 80 quid. 110£ for a 3050 is absolutely a terrible deal, it’s purposefully paying more, for less.
It’s equivalent to paying 3k quid for a 5090 in the used market.
I was making sure to get a short card too by the way, not just any old gpu. I would’ve preferred an amd card bit like cause I’m planning on moving to bazzite. I’ll probably get one of those now cheaper rx cards, if size permits, and I’ll just be passing on my 3050 to my partner.
To be honest the 3050 has been more than enough for me. I’ve not come across a game I care about that it can’t run at a decent quality though.
110 quid for a used 3050 is borderline highway robbery. 50-60 is already paying too much for that card, especially used.
