Has anyone else noticed how high cards have valued? AMD RX 580 cards I paid around $120 each for 35 cards, now are auctioning up to $435 each? And that is a RX480!

It may be time to sell out. Too much stress thinking and deciding!!

We need to make chips in AMERICA!

Sunny regards, what to do,

Ya, you have to blame the idiots that are mining for fake currencies, bitcoin, etc. Can't wait to see all those crypto currencies fail big time.

I just sent pair of rx560 and a single rx570 to my son in germany to sell for me. I should get 2x what I paid for them. If it works out I will unload some gtx1060s over there. I also have two more rx570 factory refurbished what should pay good

The mining craze will slow, Bitcoin rates are dropping and it won't get better until an anticipated coin addition in 2040. It's a downward spiral now for those mining.

I just shelled out $1700 for an RTX 4090. Ouch.

I thought that GPU prices would finally get back to normal since we've passed the peak of the bitcoin craze and the worst of the pandemic supply chain issues. But I guess I was wrong :(

That's not really any more than the 3090's were selling for when they came out though. I was buying Amd RX-580 8GB gpu's for $62 each on Aliexpress dot com but they are now selling for as little as $53 right now, the only problem is they are coming from China and can take 30 days or more to arrive, so it's not an order it and get it in 2 days thing but mine does crunch and has for more than a year so far!!

I also bought an Nvidia mining gpu, a P104-100 8GB with no video outputs that has been crunching just fine for me as well, It's crunched anything and everything I've thrown at it, it's not as fast as a 3060 but it's certainly not a slow poke either.
