Yeah. All the miners buying all the vid cards made the prices... soar. BUT, all the vid cards down to the GTX 1060's are way over priced.
So w/e you gain selling, you'll in effect lose when buying another vid card.

Have a look...

That's if u don't think and actually buy another overpriced card

What if i just wait and stick it out until Volta releases and rebuy a highend card then? In theory wouldnt the miners move to the latest and greatest leaving less of an insane interested in the last generation where I can maybe buy back in at my original price netting a cool $750 in the process?

I don't think there are enough vid cards to make the miners happy, even with the ones that will be coming out.
This isn't just the US and Canada, this is world wide.

Folks were busted in Russia for using super computer time, to mine. In Iceland, just recently, folks got busted for stealing huge mining rigs.

I think that we are gonna be stuck with high vid card prices for a while yet.
The choice is yours, obviously. I don't see vid card prices coming down for a long time unless something happens to the crypto-currency market.

This one is very hard to predict, so your guess is as good as mine.

Not to mention ram issues in top of that

Are RAM prices all jacked up because of miners too? If not miners, why?



Its all wishful thinking anyways, its off for an RMA so who knows if I'll ever see it again.

Vid card prices will get higher and higher. Buy while you can tbh

All your fault dude

ram shortages too because of phones and tablets too
simple supply and demand

From what ive seen ram have been decreasing in price a bit recently.

Gskill rgb for example random 3000mhz ones were 300$ for 16gb...now they sit at like 240 ish CAD
