- 24GB with full CUDA support
- Still second only to the 5090 in games
- Holds value if you resell later

The editor's take
Discontinued, yet used prices barely fell, because AI demand for 24GB CUDA cards did not. It still beats everything except the 5090 in games and runs 32B-class models comfortably. Buy from listings with the original box and a return window; mining-era paranoia does not apply here, but AI-farm duty does. Check the power connector's condition, this generation's known weak point.
