Before you buy a used GPU, make sure to run these tests first

Buying new PC hardware seems almost impossible in 2026, thanks to the AI boom that has increased component prices to heights never seen before. Personally, if I were to build a new PC in times like these, I'd opt for a used GPU rather than buying a new one to stay within budget constraints. One great option might be the 5-year-old RTX 3060 that holds up well even when running some modern AAA games, but may struggle with 4K/AI-upscaled titles.
That said, buying a used GPU may seem daunting since.
