Buying Used in 2024
Рет қаралды 198,600
Күн бұрынA comprehensive guide to buying used graphics cards and CPUs for PC gaming in 2024, including which components to buy and which to avoid.
Support Iceberg Tech: / icebergtech
Given the trend towards higher prices in consumer PC components, and the abundance of options on the used market, it can be hard to find the right ones for your needs. In this video, I attempt to analyse the last decade or so's worth of PC parts - identifying those that are best left to rot, those which still have a place in a budget PC, and those which are almost as good as new.

This must have taken *ages* to put together but what a comprehensive guide this is. This should be required viewing for punters looking to assemble a low cost but capable rig for 2024. I'm glad you touched on the lack of a upgrade path for Zen 3, when I put my current rig together that was the final piece that made me choose Zen 4.

One point I would throw in the Vega 64/56's favour in regard to PSU cost; is the build quality of those cards is mostly excellent, reference cards use top tier VRM and plenty of premium capacitors. AMD lost money on every card. So a Vega 64 is quite happy with a 650watt powesupply of somewhat ok quality and 550watt of decent quality, where as a 3070; despite pulling less power, is more prone to transient spike shutdowns/stability issues like for like. Vega's were hungry for their time, but no where near as temperamental about PSU wattage/quality as modern cards.

@baoquoc3710 4060ti 16gb would have been amazing if it didn't release at the same price as the 7800XT lol. The point of both are to be cards with long legs, that you can run in 2028 and not feel the urgent need to upgrade as 1080p gets phased out. The issue with the 4060ti is that the used price in a few years will be double the used price of the 7600XT and it will be competing with future low end cards with 16gb of VRAM that will inevitably be cheaper.

Good video. Remember to have fun with whatever hardware you have, there are no doubt many games that you've never played that will work on the older hardware you have. I was recently at a family rural vacation property when the weather was very bad outside. I played Batman: Arkham Asylum on a SFF pc that has an i5 2500s and 720gt. Around 10yr old hardware, I turned the settings down and overclocked the card a little and had a lot of fun.

Few years ago i was with a GT710, then to an RX560, and now moving up from a 3G 1060. The 1060 will go down to my little brother's pc, i got him the pc in december, got a monitor and a new mouse too, and next time i arrive back home, he too will have a potent pc. Enough to play fortnite, cod zombies and some other games together. Finally we both will have gaming pcs, not the best, but we had to play the same xbox 360 for 7 years straight.

I forget anyway, at that point you'd be better off just getting a 6600xt, or a used 5700xt. Or 1080ti. It's really not much money at all, hell you could work for Best Buy or Walmart or something and make enough to afford a used 5700XT in a day or two's wages which is amazing.

@@drek9k2 I'm aware of the better value that AMD cards offer, I did have 6600XT as my possible alternative, but after the RX560 I did not want another AMD card, it was crashing WAY too much for me. Either my system did not like it or I had a bad sample of it. Regardless I am happy with my 3060, performance is great, fits well in my small case too. I chose it just purely by preference. I was also aware of the 3G 1060 being a cut down of the 6G model, it was back in the "Scalper pandemic" and simply wanted to get rid of the 560 ASAP. All is good now B)

Really like the way you've explained recent hardware in the used market - a brilliant video for those who aren't particularly versed in the PC hardware. Personally I'd draw the line at Turing and RDNA1 (5700xt) for GPUs and 2nd gen 2600x /8700k if you want a decent experience for this gen's games . Playing older games can really help in terms of needing older hardware.

I just bought a Vega 56, specifically the Powercolor Vega 56 Nano version and one of my deciding factor is watching your Vega 56 retrospective. The end of mining craze really dropped the price hard and fortunately mine is only used for gaming. In my experience my Vega 56 is still a viable 1080p budget option considering I got it for $70. Mine has only the 8 pin though which limits the power draw to a mere 150W which surprisingly doesn't really hurt the card that much aside from some mediocre overclocking result. I upgraded it from an RX 570 and I think while my new card might not get the proper support, the modded driver might still help the card to be usable for years to come.

If you haven't tried it recently then you should really give Linux gaming a try. GCN GPUs (even GCN 1) are still officially fully supported by the open source AMDGPU drivers and given the track record of support for older hardware on Linux that's unlikely to change any time soon. Gaming on Linux has improved massively over the past few years in large part thanks to Valve's Proton compatibility layer which makes it possible to run many Windows-only games by just clicking the play button in the Steam client.

You are one of my favorite PC retro review KZfaqrs. Keep up the great work and thank you for all of your work on reviewing old tech in new context.

This was an excellent video. Incredibly well written and researched. Your presentation was great as well. I wish more channels would do this kind of breakdown on the used market, including super old hardware that isn't officially supported anymore. For people looking to do new or overhauled builds in like the $400-$600 range I wonder if something like the Steam Deck, Z1 Extreme Ally, or Legion Go would be a viable alternative; unless they needed a desktop system for one reason or another. Used non-OLED Decks have seen a bit of a price drop and you can find used 512GB Legion Gos under $600. For primary gaming purposes, I'd imagine those handhelds would offer better over-all performance than a lot of the older GPU options and their CPUs aren't that weak either. This is especially true for the models using the Z1 Extreme.

Glad to have an IcebergTech video on the first day of a new year. Hope the GPU market will be kinder this year.

Gs. (Btw, if you wanna possibly get samples from companies just putting a business email on the channel is an easy thing to do. You could reach out specifically to companies, but that takes a long time and I don’t do it either. Hope this helps my dude)

Thanks bud Yeah, I get some companies emailing me, mostly mini PCs so far (as well as the usual VPNs, USB chargers and crypto scams I assume we all get hounded by) I actually had an email from one of the salvage GPU brands, but I didn't like their terms. I think they basically wanted me to make an ad.

This is one of the most relevant yet comprehensive used tech videos I have seen maybe ever. This video is somehow 45 minutes long yet contains no fat. Absolutely great vid

have you considered using linux to test out RT on older radeon cards? on vega cards its surprisingly more performant than it would be on a pascal card. i imagine an rdna 1 card would be even better. its all software emulated so even a 580 would work ...to your dismay.

Last gpu I bought new was the HD 4870, wich I was very happy with. Since then I got lucky with every used pc part and sometimes I made money out of it when selling.
