Budget guide

Best Used GPUs Under $400

These picks rank currently tracked GPUs by recent used-market price and relative performance, then adjust for age, VRAM, efficiency, and sales confidence. The goal is to shorten the shortlist for anyone buying under a hard budget cap.

Rankings on this page prefer the used 25th percentile when it exists, because that is usually more stable than a single low outlier sale. If the 25th percentile is missing, the ranking falls back to the used minimum.

How To Use This Guide

These rankings are strongest when you treat them like a shortlist, not a verdict.

Use The Price Baseline Correctly

The page uses sold-listing data, not asking prices. Even then, a single unusually low sale can exist, which is why the guide prefers the 25th percentile when the site has enough volume.

Watch VRAM And Age

Extremely cheap older cards can climb the rankings because they buy a lot of raw performance per dollar. That can still be the wrong choice if memory capacity, driver age, or media features matter for your build.

Click Through Before You Buy

Open the dedicated GPU page to check current percentile pricing, release year, board power, and the used-price history. That is usually where a borderline pick proves itself or drops off the list.

Use The Live Chart To Compare Nearby Cards

After you narrow the budget list, switch back to the live chart to compare those cards by 3DMark per dollar, relative performance per dollar, or efficiency.
