RE: ETH miners buying up Nvidia RTX 30 laptops
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I wanted to build a new PC this year, because I haven't paid attention to the current mining and GPU craze. I mean, I knew that prices were inflated... but to this extend?! A fucking GPU that costed 200 USD a couple of months ago now goes for at least 700 USD, if you can find one at all. Looks like I'll have to wait another couple of months.. at least.

that's so crazy, but I don't think that it is solely due to the miners. Main reason is likely the global lockdowns, working from home, PC demand on an all time high and maybe China cannot keep up with production, who knows maybe China is also under lockdown, and then there is also the trade / tariff war (additional taxes and regulation), which could effect American GPU manufacturers.
Yeah there are many reasons, all at once, very unfortunate. I think the biggest issue that there is this shortage of some specific kind of computer chip, which is needed for consoles, cars, computer components etc.
Whatever, I hate it :D
