New prices (~$799) are well above MSRP due to the memory shortage — used units around $475 are the only remaining value path.
Same VRAM as its successor — no VRAM compromise.
Well-optimized after 18+ months of updates.
More VRAM than the RTX 5080 (16GB), relevant for AI workloads and 4K texture packs even in the Blackwell era.
New retail units are scarce and priced above MSRP. The used market (eBay, local classifieds) is the only viable path to value.
Over 3 years of driver optimizations make this one of the most stable GPUs available.
