They are still produced in the same Fab’s using the same processes, I’d imagine there are quite demanding non disclosure agreements in circulation.Those GPU's, if you can call them GPU's, would have never entered the GPU marketplace anyway so you can ignore them as such... What they would do however is use memory, mainly, that could be used for GPU manufacture when there is a shortage of memory at the moment - which in itself increases costs. Those also would have long term supply contracts and would have been fabricated in addition to the normal projected demand for ordinary GPU's.
The main reason there is price increases, and price gouging, is, mainly, an unforeseen increase in demand for them. That coupled with memory being artificially limited by a cartel to ramp up prices and an unwillingness for manufacturers to risk producing more than forecast, especially this close to end-of-life, goes someway to explain currant prices.
For one several AIB vendors have come out and said their cards aren't designed for 24/7 use and that it would violate their warranty.I'm confused on why people think mined on GPU's are knackered.. We under volt and under clock. My cards barely hit 55Deg...Someone enlighten me on what I'm doing to knacker my cards...

For two I bought an ex-mining card on the MM a while back (RX280), and within a couple months the memory died. Sold it on for spares/repair and only lost about £50, but I won't be repeating this mistake again.
I have to chuckle at the miners here saying they wouldn't touch a 2nd hand gaming card because it'll be worn out... Trying to convince people now that their ex-mining hardware is a better investment. Just... lol.
Oh and the moving parts - the fans - will be knackered. Absolutely 100% the fan bearings will be shot, or well on their way to being shot. No thanks.
Running them 24/7? They aren't knackered, but statistically they will have taken more wear and thus be more likely to fail in the near future.
I'd be quite happy to buy a mining card, but the price would have to be right. When 1070s get down to 200 quid in a couple of months I will pick one up.

Do gpu manufacturers use sub standard fans then? Considering my case fans have been running for years with no apparent ill effects.
Mean time to failure.
Just because a component is good doesn’t mean it won’t eventually fail.
What about RGB's? Do they have a shorter lift span if they come from a mining system?
