Question Used 3090 worth it

[Paramee]

I'm building a new pc, for 3d rendering and video editing. But my budget isn't huge, so I don't know if what graphic best value.

I used 3090 from 2021 for 600 euro seems like a decent choice. With the 24g og vram form big projects. Or is it better to go with something newer with less vram. Like a 5070 ti, 4070 to super or 4080.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Since you say you're on a budget, I have to ask, what sort of specs have you amassed? Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

On a side note, since the term budget is relative, what sort of a budget are you working with for your entire build if you didn't get the rest of the parts for said build? If your platform can't take advantage of the GPU, then there's little point in jumping for an offer that seems to good to beat. You would also need a reliably built 1.2KW PSU at the very least to power your entire system with the RTX3090 in it. No, I'm not kidding.

I used 3090 from 2021 for 600 euro seems like a decent choice.
Where are you located? Preferred site for purchase?

Might want to list all the app's that you'll be taxing the system with, without an etc in that sentence.

A 3090 will probably be the fastest thing you can get for 600 euros and it’s pretty future proof still with the 24GB.

The other cards will probably be more energy efficient but good luck finding one for sale, let alone for anything close to €600. You might get lucky with a leftover 4070 but I doubt it’ll beat a 3090 performance-wise but you probably know best what kind of performance you need for your applications.

I don’t know what the price of electricity is in Denmark, but that could be a consideration that steers you to a newer card.

Good luck!

Don't purchase second-hand GPU through Facebook Marketplace. There are way too many scams and no warranty whatsoever there.

You may get a card that's on its last leg, or not even functioning at all and you won't be able to return or refund it.

On top of that, 3090s run VERY hot and nowadays that's a 4 year old card, so you may need to repaste it too, which is a pain as well that may end up being a disaster for someone who does it first time.

Other than that - if you have to - make sure you actually test this card yourself before you buy.

As someone who does buy used GPU's I agree RUN from Facebook on an item like this,
