AIB partners are selling a significant number of GPUs directly to miners, bypassing the distribution chain, without warranty, at about 30% higher prices than the distributors pay. So just FYI this largely comes down to your vendor making a decision that they'd rather sell a card to a miner than service your warranty request. They have cards, just not for you. https://videocardz.com/newz/chinese-gpu-miners-are-now-bulk-buying-geforce-rtx-30-laptops-to-mine-ethereum https://videocardz.com/newz/chinese-gpu-miners-are-now-bulk-... > We have heard many stories where miners in China are queuing up to NVIDIA board partner factories in hopes to buy graphics cards in bulk. Some AIBs agree to sell cards directly to them because those clients pay more (usually 1/3 more than any distributor) and they get limited or no warranty at all.
