How Much Is My Used GPU Worth? UK Pricing Guide (2026)

You've decided to sell your GPU — but what's it actually worth in March 2026? Whether you're upgrading to an RTX 5070 or simply cashing out a card that's been gathering dust, knowing the real UK street price is the difference between a quick sale and leaving money on the table.

This guide gives you a snapshot of every major used GPU price in the UK right now, the factors that push your card's value up or down, and practical steps to squeeze every pound out of the sale. If you want the full walkthrough on where and how to list, start with our companion guide: How to Sell a Used GPU in the UK.

Prices in this article are based on sold listings — not optimistic asking prices — across eBay UK, Facebook Marketplace, and Koukan's own marketplace. We update the data monthly, so what you see below reflects real transactions from the last 30 days.

UK Used GPU Prices — March 2026

Below are the current fair-market ranges for the most commonly traded GPUs in the UK. The "Low" figure is a card in decent condition with no box; the "High" figure is a card in excellent condition with original packaging and proof of purchase. Mining-heavy cards typically sit at or below the low end.

Used GPU prices vary by as much as 30 % between a bare card and one in original packaging with warranty.

Notice any surprises? The RTX 4070 and RX 7800 XT have actually risen slightly over the last two months, driven by strong 1440p gaming demand and limited new-old-stock. Meanwhile, the RTX 30-series continues its slow slide as those cards age out of warranty windows. For a deeper look at the RTX 3070 specifically, see our RTX 3070 review and value assessment for 2026.

What Affects Your GPU's Value

Not every RTX 4070 is equal. A stack of variables determines whether yours sells near the top or the bottom of the range.

Left: boxed with accessories — commands top-end pricing. Right: bare card, visible wear — expect the low end.

How to Check Current Prices

Price tables go stale. Here's how to find real-time UK sold prices for your specific card any time you need them.

Step 1 — eBay UK Sold Listings

1. Go to ebay.co.uk and search your exact model (e.g. "RTX 4070 Ti used").
2. On the results page, tap Filters → Sold Items. This shows only completed, paid transactions.
3. Sort by Date: Newest First and note the last 10–15 sale prices. Ignore outliers (both high and low).
4. The middle cluster of prices is your realistic asking price on eBay. Subtract 13 % for fees to estimate your take-home.

Step 2 — Check Koukan Listings

Browse Koukan's GPU category to see what similar cards are listed at right now. Koukan has zero seller fees on standard listings, so prices here tend to be lower than eBay — which means your take-home is often higher even if the sticker price is slightly less.

Step 3 — Facebook Marketplace Spot Check

Search your model on Facebook Marketplace, filter to your city or within 25 miles, and skim the first page. Marketplace prices tend to be the most aggressive (lowest) because buyers expect local collection and cash deals. Treat Marketplace as your floor price — if you list elsewhere, you should beat these figures.

Step 4 — Calculate Your Realistic Range

Take the eBay sold median, the Koukan listing average, and the Marketplace floor. Your card's fair value sits in the overlap. If your card is in better-than-average condition or comes with the box, aim for the upper quartile. If it shows heavy use, price closer to the floor to move it fast.

When to Sell (Timing the Market)

GPUs are not wine — they don't appreciate with age. The general rule is sell sooner rather than later, but there are specific windows that can net you 10–15 % more.

Getting Maximum Value for Your GPU

The difference between a £170 sale and a £210 sale on the same RTX 3070 often comes down to presentation, not the card itself. Here's the playbook that top sellers on Koukan follow.

Clean It Properly

Compressed air to blow out dust from the heatsink fins. A microfibre cloth with a tiny amount of isopropyl alcohol for the backplate and shroud. Do not remove the cooler or repaste unless you know what you're doing — buyers get nervous when they see thermal paste smeared on photos. A clean card photographs better, signals care, and justifies a higher price.

Photograph It Well

Use natural daylight or a desk lamp. Shoot on a plain dark background (a black t-shirt works). Take at least five photos:

• Front of the card (fan side), straight on.
• Back of the card (backplate), straight on.
• PCIe connector close-up — buyers check for bent or discoloured pins.
• Display outputs — show every port is intact.
• The card running in a system with a monitoring overlay visible (GPU-Z or HWiNFO).

If you have the original box, photograph the card in the box. This single image adds perceived value disproportionate to the effort.

List on Zero-Fee Platforms

eBay charges roughly 13 % in combined fees. PayPal adds another 2–3 % if you're selling outside eBay's managed payments. That £210 RTX 3070 sale becomes ~£180 in your pocket. On Koukan, standard listings carry zero seller fees — so that same £210 is yours. For the full comparison of where to sell, read: Where to sell used PC parts in the UK.

Include Original Accessories

Box, anti-static bag, adapter cables, even the little "thank you" card from the manufacturer. Every accessory you include reduces the buyer's perceived risk and gives them a reason to choose your listing over a bare-card competitor. Adapter cables (12VHPWR to dual 8-pin, for example) are especially valued — many new builders don't have spares.

A five-minute clean and a decent photo can add £20–£40 to your final sale price.
