Has the Arc B580 broken the used GPU market?

Has the Arc B580 broken the used GPU market?

I just upgraded my power supply on my budget, second hand parts build. Now with an 850w PSU I have the headroom for a newer GPU.

I decided to use the B580 as a benchmark for the used GPU market. Brand new at $360 Canadian it lands somewhere between the RTX 4060 and 4060ti on benchmarks and has 12GB of VRAM, which makes it considerably more future proof. I'm looking to play Forza Horizon 6 at 1440p which needs the 12GB of VRAM at higher visual settings.

I am shocked by the used market and how overpriced it seems. People are asking $350 for used 4060s and 3060s. Slightly better cards like a 5060 or a 3070ti people are asking for $400 and $475 respectively. That seems like a big price jump for less than 10 extra FPS.

Are people sleeping on the B580, or am I missing something that would make a used 4060 worth just as much second hand?
