On ebay you are right. I did pick up a 1070 for about 65USD. I think that is a reasonable price. The listing was for a 1070 Ti and I bid 97USD but the card ended being a 1070. The seller refunded me 35USD. I've been looking at FB and Craigslist listing. You can find good prices but you have to keep looking everyday until one pops up. The 1080/1080Ti/RX 5700XT for 300USD I got was off of Craigslist. Got a 100USD Rx 5700XT from Craigslist too.If you can get a used 5700XT or a 1080Ti for $100, that might be the best. Last I checked they were still going for more though. Or maybe a used RX 6600 or 2070 (super). Though I think those might be hard to find at that price.
RX 580 = RX 6500 XT performance. I would say the 8GB model still has some life.I have had some good luck looking at the local used GPU market. I got an RX 5700XT for 100 and 120. There are some RX 580's some as low as 30USD. I just wondering if they are too slow to bother with even at that price. 1070/1070Ti's and 1080's hover around 100USD.
I saw that on Techpowerup. How good are their ratings?RX 580 = RX 6500 XT performance. I would say the 8GB model still has some life.
Not bad (ballpark). The following have them close also. Once you have the 8GB model, it'll be OK for casual gaming, which is what fun is supposed to be, casual.I saw that on Techpowerup. How good are their ratings?
64 bit memory ouch. I have seen RX 580 listings for as low as 30USD. I'm kind looking at GTX 1070 being the lowest I should go. I pairedNot bad (ballpark). The following have them close also. Once you have the 8GB model, it'll be OK for casual gaming, which is what fun is supposed to be, casual.
Just got this off of Craigslist for 120USD. Having some good luck lately. The only problem is it's 2 8 pin not 6/8 though on paper 300w should be sufficient?I'd probably take a 5700XT @ $100 myself, but if you're just wanting something to toss into a Skylake vintage office tower to play some games on, an 8GB 580 for $30 is pretty tough to beat.

ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Ti GAMING
I'll have to find a system with 2 8 pins to pair it with but at 120USD is was too good a deal to pass up.That card draws 300W pretty much average in gaming, so you'd probably want 140/140 with a trickle on the slot rather than 150/75/75. Big draws just from the slot always sketch me out.
I have a few 6 to 8 pin converters though I have never used them. 650w?Realistically as long as the power supply has sufficient capacity on that rail, you'd be fine using an 8 and a 6 pin connector to power the card; the pins on the connector have a ridiculous amount of headroom and 99% of 6 pins have three 12V lines anyway. Some cards just won't start or do 3D without the 8 pin sense, so you might need a 6 to 8 adapter or just jumper the last two pins.
650W may be sufficient if it is a very good quality PSU, but also take age into factor. What PSU are you using? What are the full specs?I have a few 6 to 8 pin converters though I have never used them. 650w?
The 650 is a Liteon 80+ platinum. Underclocking a factory overclocked card kind of defeats the purpose don't you think?650W may be sufficient if it is a very good quality PSU, but also take age into factor. What PSU are you using? What are the full specs?
Also, you could try to reduce power draw with the 1080Ti by underclocking/undervolting, or simply reducing power budget.
