How much is my graphics card worth?
A used graphics card is worth what it can still do: which GPU it is, how much memory it has, and whether it works. The brand on the shroud and the cooler matter far less than most sellers expect. Below are the three factors, then today’s cash offers — our own, the numbers our form gives — for the cards people sell most.
The three things that set the value
- The GPU, and how recent it is. An RTX 5090 and an RTX 3060 are different products, and each new generation lowers what the previous one is worth. The model number tells you both: on NVIDIA cards the first two digits are the generation and the last two the tier (an RTX 4090 is a 40-series card, 90 tier); on AMD Radeon cards the first digit is the generation.
- Video memory. The same GPU can come with different amounts of memory, and more is worth more — the 12GB RTX 3060 pays $192 against $124 for the 8GB version. Memory is also what keeps a card useful for newer games and AI tools.
- Whether it works. A card that runs clean under load gets the used offer, whether it was gamed on or mined on. One that won’t start or shows artifacts is worth very little — we don’t pay for those at all.
What barely matters: the board partner. An ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA, Sapphire or reference version of the same card gets the same offer from us.

Finding your exact model
The memory size is the detail people get wrong, and it changes the offer — an RTX 3080 10GB pays $221, the 12GB $271. Three ways to check:
- The box or the sticker on the back of the card names the model and usually the memory, as in “12GB GDDR6X”.
- Windows: Task Manager → Performance → GPU shows the model and its dedicated GPU memory.
- GPU-Z, a free utility, shows the exact GPU, memory size and type, and the card’s BIOS — useful for telling apart cards sold under similar names.
What lowers the offer
- Artifacts, crashes or throttling under a sustained load.
- A fan that won’t spin, or a replacement cooler that isn’t the card’s own.
- A cracked board, a damaged display output or a scorched power connector.
Test yours first — our guide to testing a GPU before selling takes about half an hour — and if we find something at inspection you didn’t, you see the reason in a revised offer and can have the card back free. Timing matters too: when to sell around a new generation.
