AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Found in Bargain Bin for $4
In a remarkable stroke of thrifting luck, a Reddit user (BlackTo0thGrin) stumbled upon a coveted AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card in a bargain bin at an "Amazon returns/overstock store."
Despite the card's age (two years), it remains a top-tier option for AMD GPU enthusiasts. With a MSRP of $999 at launch, this find represents a potential savings of hundreds of dollars.
Initial updates suggest the card is genuine and functional, with the motherboard detecting it correctly and drivers installed. The user is awaiting a case for their first PC build.
While second-hand GPUs can be risky, the decline in cryptocurrency mining has reduced the prevalence of used cards damaged by excessive use.
Fingers crossed, this incredible thrift store find will not turn into a cautionary tale but instead lead to a magical PC building experience.
