I feel like kinda the main reasons to pick up a latest gen gpu nowadays are energy efficiency and a warranty (although 5000 series doesn't look all that energy efficient, we'll see i guess)

otherwise you can definitely get something better on ebay for cheaper

but if you live somewhere where energy is expensive, the difference might be significant. 500w is kinda a lot lol, any difference in performance/watt will add up

prices are going to drop when the new gpus come out and people need to get rid of their old ones, but currently with a little bit of looking i could find a 'buy it now' 7900 xt for $640, a 3090 for $775, and a 3090 ti for $850

honestly these aren't great deals you could probably find better ones
