    Ok so basically no gpus in 2021 is what i take from this.
    Miners will be fine tho of course.
    @Hilbert Hagedoorn you may want to start benching Hash rates in your reviews soon.

    you cant even buy the cards cause there all out stock sold out cause mining crap, now MSRP is gona go and scaplers are charge even more great


    Gamers cant even get there cards anymore, why not bench them hash rates atlest the reviews will be usefull to people that can actual get thre hands on them cards...

    I mean really I been randomly look to buy new card for past 8+ months, cant find single card NEW in stock and even older gen cards cant be found, and when you do it from people trying to scaple the prices 2/3x it actual price new..

    I kind pissed about this like sure alot people around here are at this point.

    So now it's more expensive for the miners.

    New games may need to make adjustments to gpu requirements. If the base them on new gen GPUs, not many will be able to meet them.

    Intel couldn't have a better market to release their new gpus in, all they have to do is totally disable mining on them, that would be a solid move and much appreciated by gamers.

    I had a quick glance yesterday about subscribing to a bot network so i could have my own bot for buying gpu, it's about $500 to get a bot to buy gpu so yeah, only folks using bots are those buying in bulk.
    I say this cause if you're rich you can get 3090 near msrp.

    No one seems to get it. Miners are only a small fraction of the issue. Miners only effect Supply and Demand's ability to influence prices. The main part of price is what the company thinks the market will bare; what consumers are willing to pay. Scalpers have shown these manufacturers that they are not charging enough. Their estimates were way too low. Eventually manufacturers will actually be charging what the market will bare thereby cutting out in mass, the scalpers. So the brunt of the blame is squarely with the scalpers. Reason, scalpers are functioning in an artificially created market segment. Welcome to the newly revised MSRP models brought to everyone by the scalping sector.

    So... we finally talking about how in reality, the bad guys are the AIBs? And not necessarily Nvidia or AMD? :D

    At this point I don't think I'll ever be able to buy a new GPU again.

    And this is searching by the cheapest price. It's bad times my fellow gurus.

    So glad I bought a 2060 super last year. I'll have to sit and wait this out I guess.

    Good thing SLi is barley (mostly not) supported anymore and nVidia removed SLi connectors from low end cards, so we cant even put two 1050Ti's in Sli.
