Even $2000 video cards are sold out
I'm speechless
- kyriakos 6y agoIt doesn't surprise me. My 2yo GPU is selling in EU for double the price I originally bought it from the same retailer. Its the first time computer hardware is actually not depreciating but gaining value as it ages.
- pyr0hu 6y agoSame, bought a GTX1660 Super, and the price doubled since. It's madness what's happening on the GPU market.
- gabereiser 6y agoA year ago I bought a RTX 3070 when I rebuilt my entertainment rig. I replaced a GTX1080 and got rid of it. I should have kept it and resold it. It's crazy and I wish there were two categories of cards. Mining cards and Gaming cards. Looks like NVidia feels the same and is making dedicated cards for the basement farmers.
- felipelemos 6y agoMaybe you are confusing with the series 20XX? The RTX 3070 were only released a bit more than 4 months ago.
- gabereiser 6y agoYou’re right, it’s a 2070
- paulmd 6y agoWhen I upgraded to a 3070 I sold my 1080 Ti for 50% more than I paid for it and at this point I think I could have gotten more (it was a blower so not exactly a desirable card though). Cost me 100 bucks after tax to do the upgrade. Then I scored a 3080 and sold the 3070 for $700 plus shipping. It's to the point where I'm thinking about selling my "backup" 1060 3GB card, but if my GPU died then I would be in real trouble because lol at getting ahold of GPUs right now.
- lozaning 6y agoETh DAG is over 4GB now, no one wants 3GB cards
- paulmd 6y agoprices are still over $150 which is more than I paid for it new back in 2017. like, shockingly to some, there exists a market for GPUs for doing things other than mining. And not all coins require 8GB cards either.
- rasz 6y agoOver $200 in US, closer to $300 in EU. More than MSRP for a 5 year old product.
- uncledave 6y agoYeah I sold my 1660 GTX for £40 more than I paid for it after 2 years. Was shocked.
