I swapped to AMD this generation and it's still expensive.

A well researched pre-owned is the way to go. I bought a 6900xt a couple years ago for a deal.

I used to buy broken video cards on ebay for ~$25-50. The ones that run, but shut off have clogged heat sinks. No tools or parts required. Just blow out the dust. Obviously more risky, but sometimes you can hit gold.

If you can buy a ten and one works, you've saved money. Two work and you're making money. The only question is whether the tenth card really will work or not.

I used to get EVGA bstock which was reasonable but they got out of the business 😞
