Also, you have to remove the smooth brain gamer brain mindset that just because you saw it at that price at a microcenter, doesn't mean that that's the price it should go for. If you were to ask anyone who has a ever built or bought a PC I guarantee you that 9/10 times they would say that they didn't buy it off microcenter. I build PC's for a living and the heavy discounts I get from heading directly to Microcenter to buy on sales is basically the profit I make since the labor only takes me less that 1hr of assembly.
But going by your logic as the seller, I would have to 1. Base my price on the lowest price/discount/ sales /preowned (despite it being new) pricing of all the parts for the pc. 2.Further lower my price because most of the time microcenter has it by average 10% lower price.
I might as well give the buyer a $50 gift card and take him to dinner by that logic. And that's just the entry level and mid-gpu. Now Imagine if were talking about high end that costs 500-1100 dollars.
There is a difference between being a frugal spender and being and a tightwad cheapskate.

I got the hellhound one for 230 used "good" a while back.
Im happy with it.
This is as insane as those handful of people who say that the 6600 and 6650xt will be going for 120 and 140 respectively mid 2024. Crazy.

I can play any game on it with max or almost max settings at 1440p. But I do feel the limitations of the card. The only game where I feel it's more than slightly constrictive is Alan Wake 2. I'd have to turn things down to medium and give up on a lot of niceties to play it.
But for things like Baldur's Gate 3, totally fine maxed out. (of course no special RT, etc)
And this 6650 is a wee bit faster than the 1080. Pretty impressive.

Interesting that if you are upgrading from low end/budget gpu like 970/1660/rx580, the price/performance increase still seems reasonable. You are still getting an upgrade for $200.
However, once you start getting into 4xxx, you are paying alot more. It looks like nvidia/amd knows enthusiasts would pay >$500 for that 100 fps

If I didn't have a video card, and I was making less than $50/hr, this is probably the card that I would get.
