That said, this market is unprecedented. Never before have "new" cards been marketed with a higher price than older, more powerful cards. Further, I don't remember a time when GPUs cost more than CPUs. The CPU has always been the most expensive component of a new build but not anymore, and my memory goes back several decades.
Even CPUs aren't progressing like they used to -- I'm still using a Ryzen 1700 because the performance advantage of the newer generations just isn't worth the cost. If I'm going to drop $300 on a new CPU (and it's even more with a new board and memory), I want minimum 2x the performance, not 30%.
I guess I just have unrealistic expectations these days.
Also, the actual release MSRP of 30 series GPUs was lower than 20 series and performed much better ($400 3060ti > $700 2080 super). They were a performance bargain before the scalpers went wild. Accounting for inflation, this card is not really marketed higher than the older generation - it's about in line for it's performance. Rx580 4gb was $150 or so in 2019, this at $200 which offers slightly better performance is about in line with inflation and market conditions.
You can ignore the paragraph rant about how it's better on pci-e 4, it's about a 10% or less difference and highly game and resolution dependant. Don't buy a used card that was definitely mined on unless you're willing to throw your money away when it artifacts once it warms up.
That being said, still not worth $200. This card, pre-pandemic, either wouldn't sell, or it would sell for about $70. The inflation due to crypto mining and resource availability has caused manufacturers to put out polished turds as gold. This card can run some games at decent frames as long as they're not graphics intensive. Don't expect much though.
