Best alternatives to the T1000 at similar prices
Computed from the current in-stock set under the balanced preset (criteria: same-money = ±10% price with >5% more performance; cheaper = ≥93% performance for ≥8% less money; step-up = +5–35% price with >12% more performance). They change when the market changes.
Used T1000 price & upgrade math (calculated)
We don't track live used-market listings yet, so here is an honest calculated guide instead. The cheapest new T1000 in today's snapshot is $439. Two yardsticks for a unit in excellent condition: 80% of the cheapest new price ≈ $351, and $82 — the price at which its Value Score reaches a perfect 100 in its strongest scenario (1080p Budget). The lower of the two, ≈ $82, is a sensible ceiling if you're buying used and a realistic asking price if you're selling. Discount further for wear, mining history or a missing warranty — and score any real listing in the calculator.
Already own one? Selling it changes the upgrade math: what matters is the out-of-pocket cost — the upgrade's price minus what your card sells for — not the sticker price. At a ≈$82 resale, the strongest computed upgrade paths right now are RTX 3070 (+339% performance for ≈$223 out of pocket), Arc A750 (+189% performance for ≈$138 out of pocket), RX 9060 XT (+428% performance for ≈$318 out of pocket).
