The index

Sorted by new price per GB of VRAM, which is what sets the largest model a card can hold (see Will it run? for model-by-model fit). 7 of 19 cards have a quotable new price this week. None has the 8 used eBay listings a median needs, so the used column shows only how many were seen.

*New prices are tracked snapshots of Amazon listings, each read on the "checked" date printed under it (within the last 24 hours), and are not live quotes: price may vary. Used medians come from eBay listings seen in the last 7 days.

How the index is built

New is the second-cheapest Amazon listing linked to the card. It must match the card by name (so a 4080 SUPER can’t price the 4080), sit between 0.5× and 1.6× the launch MSRP (above that it is a marketplace markup, not the card's price), and have had its price checked in the last 24 hours. The second-cheapest rather than the cheapest means at least two listings meet the figure, so one mispriced listing can’t set it. A card with fewer than 2 such listings shows a dash.

Used is the median of used, pre-owned, refurbished and open-box eBay listings for the card seen in the last 7 days, counting each listing once. It is printed only when at least 8 listings were seen. Otherwise the cell shows how many were, because a median of three listings is noise.

vs last week compares with the first reading taken in the week of 2026-09-28. Each week's first reading is stored and never overwritten, so past editions stay as they were published.
