- I was gonna say point me to your little money mine
To be honest I've been sat here waiting for ages just to get a 3080 to stick in another box I can just sit and run in the corner instead of using my day to day computer.
Thats what my old 7 is doing. Just sits there doing its thing... I game etc on the 6800xt so when im not gaming / working then I fire that up as well.
It's pretty much certain, to be a reseller of the PS5 and Xbox Series X direct from Sony and MS you would have to sign an agreement not to sell over the MSRP and this isn't a new thing every console launch going back to at least the NES has had this.
There is no such MSRP on most GPUs.

Looks like Nintendo are going with Nvidia for the new Switch up grade should be interesting to see how this plays out.

What I meant by this is that if you get £12 mining this week it will be £11 next week, 10, 9, 8 the weeks after. Not necessarily those number, but looking at the nicehash calculator for the 3060Ti which was earning $7/8 per 24 ohurs at the beginning of the month is now down to about $5

Did you hear Sports Direct are getting in on the GPU retail market?
They are releasing a special 3060 Mike Ashley edition - comes with black and white detailing and won't leave your PCIe slot once installed no matter how hard you pull.

You almost had me there for a second.
More price increases coming
both ASUs and MSI just completed their investor conference calls during which both of them said that GPU supply will remain an issue until next year and due to this they are both planning another graphics cards price bump soon

Read this in a couple of places, it's definitely disappointing. Still holding out me though.

Nvidia Gpu chips looking more and more like a manufacturing yields problem said this from the start last year like so many have. Nvidia are just full of BS

What BS have they spun?
If the yield is that bad, why is that 3080 is nowhere to be found? 3080 stock entirely depends on yield of making the 3090 (high yield on 3090 = no 3080 stock, low yield on 3090 = lots of 3080 stock to sell)
Maybe Samsung/Nvidia has limited supply of the million other components that fit on the PCB like their exclusive GDDR6x vram???

Two factors in play really
Firstly the 3080 is the best mining GPU to make the most money the quickest. There is no doubt that 99% of 3080's being made are going straight from suppliers to miners and not getting anywhere near retailers.
Secondly and this is more of a personal theory. After the debacle that was the 2080ti Nvidia knew there was no way in hell people would this time round pay £1400 odd pounds for a 3090 when they were offering a 3080 at around £700. So they reduce supply of the 3080 and produce large numbers of the 3090. People then fed up of waiting and trying to buy a 3080 and eventually give up and fork out for a 3090. Then woop woop for Nvidia they have managed to get people buying a card for £1400 again!!
Ultimately when you have no competition you can do crap like this!
With all this doom and gloom news its not surprising people are just paying the current prices which are already marked up for various reasons, but then made worse by scalpers.
It feels like I am so fortunate now that I have got lucky with my 3090fe card. However there is no way I would have paid this much for it if I was not able to mine with it to offset the cost along side the higher resale value of my old card.
Even my spare/work PC that has a Sapphire RX570 8GB that I bought for £117~ish back in June 2019 from OCUK is probably worth almost double what I paid brand new. Unfortunately I gave the box away along with my old HD7770 Ghz edition card that it replaced to a work colleague, thinking the value will only go down. I thought the RX570 will be around £60 by the time I come to sell/replace it. As I do not have the box anymore I am stuck with it for now.
