As part of its Q1 2024 financial report, AMD highlights that a decline in its 'Gaming' revenue is due to lower sales of its Radeon GPUs.

Everyone I know who’s bought a GPU recently has gone used, including me

That and there just hasn’t been much gains in performance in recent years, so it makes sense to not upgrade for a while. And a lot of people upgraded all at once during the pandemic, so there are less people on the market for a new GPU.

Very true, I was using a 1080TI until a few months ago.

I got a prebuilt like a couple years ago after getting a chunk of money and it still does me ok. There’s a 6800xt in it and it still handles current games ok. I’m in no rush, the only thing I would like is better ray tracing but that’s not enough of a reason for me to spend £700+ on a new card.

Not me, but looking at prices, the $500 I paid for my 6950 beats a lot of used prices out there now

Where can I buy used from regular NOT scalper people?

you can buy from Scalpers or Crypto bros larping as scalpers. The choice is yours.

GPU’s aren’t in a shortage like they were. The majority of new GPUs are just regular people selling them. I wouldn’t personally call it scalping if it’s below MSRP.

What sort of discount on retail did you get?
