Linus from Linus Tech Tips said that he has insider information that the problems weren't caused by miners at all, it's just that more people are working from home and need new hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A4yk-P5ukY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A4yk-P5ukY
- jaynetics 6y agoVery few people need a GPU for work. There might be a few, and there might be more gaming, but seriously? If I was a miner and could get RTX 3xxx at 100-150% MSRP, I'd be buying them non-stop. A 3070 at MSRP pays for itself via mining in, what, 10 weeks? And the risk of it being worth less than MSRP any time soon seems tiny.

- MR4D 6y agoGreat suggestion! I watched it a few hours ago. Fantastic episode, and I highly recommend anyone interested in GPUs watch it!
