One more lucky user got his hands on a budget GPU for the price of a cup of coffee,, allowing him to upgrade his second system.

I know it can be hard to digest it, but such deals do exist. These are rare, but if you are willing to check your local Thrift store, you might be able to snag a piece of hardware for super cheap. We have seen how some users have managed to get hardware for way cheaper than their original prices, and this case appears to be similar to the one where a user was able to pick up a GTX 1050 Ti for just $2 .

The Redditor u/Nervous_Highlight752 reports he got a great deal at his local thrift store called Value Village in Canada. The price tag, therefore, is in CAD and not USD. For CAD $4.99 or US$3.5, the RTX 3050 is a steal, which usually sells for over $200. The GPU has been steadily increasing in price due to the RAMpocalypse, and for a new GPU, you would easily have to pay over $200 at most retailers.

Even though this Redditor's GPU isn't a new one, it works, which is what matters. For $3.5, this is as cheap as a cup of coffee, and it also looks in pretty good condition. This one appears to be an MSI RTX 3050 Ventus 2X 6G OC, which is currently retailing at $209 on Amazon . The Redditor says he will now upgrade his second system that runs on the ancient GTX 750 Ti GPU.

The GeForce RTX 3050 might not be a powerful GPU, but it's surely sufficient for playing most titles on medium to high settings at 1080p with fluid gameplay. The card belongs to the Ampere series and is one of the few RTX 30 series models that still sell to this day due to high demand for budget GPUs. With budget GPUs crossing $400, the RTX 3050 has become an affordable choice for gamers on a budget, and if you come across such a cheap deal, you shouldn't miss it.
