Are there some hidden gem or outstanding value cards out there in the sub 200€ range? Used, if they blow out of the water some newer ones for the price, are OK.
Even 12GB honestly feels low these days. I have a 4070ti that I regret buying because I still run into VRAM bottlenecks and I don’t even play in 4k. I guess if you’re content with 1080p you might get away with it but I’d be super weary about buying anything with only 8GB.
A 12GB card for 200 euros or less would be incredibly far from reality, unfortunately. Maybe if they bought a 1080ti, but that’s not the greatest move in 2025.

Depends what you play, I have a 8gb rx 6600 and I don’t really have any problems at 1440p

I was just warning them to set their expectations. It’s a sad state of affairs.
