What would be considered a good price for an rtx 2060 6gb or 8gb super nowadays given the age and stuff?

Stepped away from pcs and that for awhile, so i never did get a graphics card i was after when i last made a post, but ive got a lot of time off at the moment and want to start looking at my computer again. I no longer have a gpu, so i urgently need one to be able to use it.

Think i mentioned my computer runs an i5 12400F and while i just want to use it for general and light editing, i do want to start playing some games again, more specifically i want to finally try Doom TDA even on a 6gb card i know runs it, just low settings.

I no longer have the budget i did last time, but can afford up to the cheapest new 3050 6gb which is like £150-160, but im going used for better options. I dont know what games use RT, never noticed on my Series S, so i dont care for it other than to try Doom.

It was either an RTX card or pay less and try out a 1660ti and put Doom off for awhile longer.
 
From sold prices on the popular place, it looks like a 2060 6GB is around £100 and the 8GB Super: £130.

A 6600 XT or 3060 12GB are around £150.

I'd definitely avoid the 3050 6GB.

Judging by the benchmarks here (scroll down half way for Doom), you don't need a super powerful card to use RTX in Doom Eternal, though I don't know if Doom TDA is the same in that respect:

don't get the 3050 6gb...this is NOT a 3050 with less VRAM, it's a really really bad card

i don't know how long you've been away from computer parts, but to put it into perspective from the GTX 10-series
- the 3050 8GB is the equivalent of the 1070
- the 3050 6GB sits lower than the 1060 3GB!

for comparison, the 2060 is the equivalent of the 1080
