Badly. They work badly.

They are not mis-priced, they are already a pretty hefty buy. If the prices were to increase even further, _then_ it would be mis-priced, as no-one needs to spend this much on a videocard to play videogames. The fact that gamers have to compete with miners (for whom it's an investment) and AI researchers (for whom it's a job tool) does nothing to justify the purchase for the higher price
- kyboren 5y agoNo, they work very well. You just don't like it because other people are willing to pay more than you are. > They are not mis-priced They are mis-priced. The market value is much higher than MSRP, which you can see on e.g. eBay. There is nothing to justify here, it is simply an objective fact they are mis-priced.
- behringer 5y agoThey are mispriced as far as gaming equipment goes. Nobody will release a 2000 dollar game console because nobody would buy it. However, release a 2000 dollar game card that only those willing to mine with it for 6 months can afford, and you don't have a gaming market for long.
