It makes sense now, you can sell a card used for more money than it will make in a year of mining.I am seeing more and more mining rigs going up for sale.

Indeed, especially with some cards making a loss
But gamers will always be there, mining could be gone tomorrow. Hence it makes sense that if they care about money, they must care about gamers. Last I checked gamers make up for half or over half their revenue. Nvidia are not stupid, as much as they want to maximise the amount of profit they can make out of gamers, they do not want to do anything to scare them away, as this will be bad for them in the long term when it comes to making money. That is what I think anyway.
It's stuff like this that pains me.
Hence why I said "After all they do need to make sure they are able to offer cards to PC gamers as we are a huge chunk of their overall revenue".Not really. Lots of gamers have grown up and those are the ones that have money. Like me, many have left the scene due to the moronic prices.
Havent been keeping an eye on prices lately as haven't been doing a lot of gaming due to personal reasons. I paid £750 for my 1080ti strix and can see its now listed at nearly £1000. Without trolling through 98 pages of posts, whats caused such a demand/increase on price?

Am I expecting too much expecting a top end GPU from AMD or Nvidia to realistically cost 350 max and to get maybe a second below top end for 250 or less? That's how it used to be. I remember getting an X800XT PE for 200 quid and that was the most powerful GPU at the time with an amazing 16 pipelines and now the equivilant high end would be 800 quid.
How is a normal person supposed to afford a GPU? Anything above 300 is extortion. AN 800 quid card these days is no where near worth that, more like £350
