they will do if they are priced out, which is the whole point of the conversation.
They are being priced out because miners are buying all the stock. nVidia and AMD are just popping champagne and putting their feet up on the boardroom table.

Gamers aren't going to stop buying GPUs. It's nonsense to suggest they will. nVidia and AMD don't give one tiny **** whether they are selling to miners or gamers, as long as they are selling.
No-one actually believes nVidia's PR man when he trots out the line about gamers....do they?
will amd and nvidia go bankrupt when the crypto currency craze bursts and gpu are flooded on the used market at prices slash by 60%
Held off buying an RX480 when they launched as an upgrade for a 7950... Figured I'd give it 18 months and pick up something better for less. Big mistake! Any chance of picking up a 980ti for £250?
Depends. I guess the clever ones will keep their rigs and carry on mining, instead of cashing out they'll hold it all in the hope it all goes back up again, hence they'll be sitting pretty.
The ones who do badly out of crypto are the investors who can't afford to lose what they have put in so at the first sign of a drop they'll be scrabbling around trying to cash out, the others are the miners who instantly sell their gear once it looks like it's dead.
Ask any of the miners who packed it in last time ASAP, whether they wished they'd kept it all up and running during the quiet periods.
Lol! No.![]()

I just popped into OCUK to look at the prices of cards from both manufacturers.
INSANE is the only word I can use. £299 for a 3GB 1060 and an RX570 4GB is the same....Hope this doesnt carry on for much longer as prices like these WILL kill PC gaming...stone dead in its tracks. I'd love to know how much the manufacturers are actually charging the Retailers for these cards....that would be interesting. Sad state of affairs I'm afraid.![]()
