The equivalent of $220 US on a RX6600 last year. Before that, I had a GTX1060, bought used. For the next upgrade, I'd be willing to part with 12.000 TWD (around $370 US), since I will finally move on from 1080p gaming soon.

75 000CZK for Titan RTX, which is around... $3243. Prior to Corona, just needed one for be better in my job, which was at that time dependent of doing some Machine Learning. It was good card, so good in fact that 3090 felt like a downgrade, especially with those "consumer grade" drivers. Which made few of my tools behave weirdly.

€800 for a 7900xt. Should have probably waited a bit for a 7900 GRE/7800xt, which are a bit more in my usual price range.

~550€ for a GTX680 4gb for my 2012's PC build.
Great card, it would still be working, but had to upgrade to a used GTX1070ti (300€) for a 1440p monitor.

Back then, you could get a high-end GPU for 500€ - 600 €.

I'm not willing to spend more on a new card, prices these days are just plain stupid.
 
I have always been lucky with my purchases, the last 2 I did were the following:

839€ MSI SUPRIM RTX 3080 (launch day)
750€ ASUS TUF Gaming 7900XTX (openbox)

I had to replace the 3080 because the 10GB VRAM wasn't cutting it anymore.

However before that I did end up getting SLI GTX 580s at the time for 800€.

1200$ on my current 3080ti.
Way above what I'd spend usually on a new GPU (it used to be 400-800 max), but...

- it was in the middle of COVID lockdown when everything seemed to become fucking unreachable
- I got a chance to pay MSRP during an "official Nvidia drop" in a time where crypto was surging like hell, people were going mental and everyone was paying 2000+ dollars for even worse GPUs.
-... So I felt like even if I was going to regret it later it would have been easy to resell at an even higher price.
- I recouped a sizable chunk of that money by selling my old 1070 at more than what I paid it full price few years back.

I technically spent $5k on my graphics card. The GPU determined the entire build. I waited for the latest cpus in the 4090 GPU lifespan: Intel Gen 14.

I spent the most I could on a prebuilt to ensure the least risk and most warranty.

If I'm getting the best I'm forced to have the best warranty as well.

You’re doing it wrong. Steps to getting a free high end GPU.

Step 1: Make sure you have a credit card with a high amount of credit.

Step 2: At GPU launch, purchase 4 high end GPUs

Step 3: Sell 3 at scalper price and get yours for free.

Optional Step: if step 3 fails, return 3 of the 4 gpus to the store before the 30 day return window runs out and keep one.
