There's an RX6900XT for $93 on amazon. It says sold by a chinese merchant... do people consider this legit or is this some type of scam? I don't see new or used listed and I get the feeling this gpu was used for crypto and being dumped on Amazon.

Too good to be true. Ex-crypto GPUs can be a good deal, but this smells like a scam.

There are plenty of GPU scams being run by chinese vendors. Frequently they fiddle with the firmware so an old card poses as a newer one.

This needs a column & sort option for Benchmark/currency to help search for highest bang/buck card. While it can be done manually through export - users will definitely appreciate having the convenience.

I hesitated to include this column because, for a given benchmark, there are still other differentiating criteria (VRAM, number of fans, watercooling, etc.).

And the excel export makes it possible to satisfy everyone without weighing down the site.

Unless there is some kind of filter to only show websites where the product is in stock, this might be kinda useless.

What’s to stop somebody from scraping this website and just doing exactly that?

By default, the site displays only products in stock (when the source offers this type of filter in its listings pages AND when the notion of stock is global to the country).

This should include the Intel Arc A310 as it's a cheap, powerful and sought-after card for video transcoding jobs.

Think Plex Media Server and DaVinci video editing.

This looks really well done. I noticed an error where an RTX 3090 is listed for $190, and turns out to be just a water block.

Yes, I've had to put in a lot of regexp to try and sort out misclassified offers, but there are always a few special cases that slip through the net.
