Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

[Jono8]

Eh? I see no stock on any site. Still 180 in a que on 1. Thats plentful?

Overclockers have most cards in stock right now (not every AIB, no), as do lots of other places.

Maybe "plentiful" was the wrong word, but it was more used in terms of a comparison of how it has been where even stock of anything was scarce.

Basically, thinks are staying in stock a lot longer. Prices will drop, so long as crypto prices keep dropping.

What I don't get is scalpers still trying it on via ebay. They're still trying to sell 6500 XTs for £300+, but they're in stock in retailers for much less. Are people stupid enough to be buying from these scalpers?

I've noticed this as a thing in general forever on Ebay. Whenever i go looking for prices on something Ebay is usually right up there with the most expensive... Although that's also usually BIN stuff but it wouldn't surprise me if people were outbidding themselves/their limits through wanting to win auctions.

I'm currently using a 1080 and it feels like i will be until the 50x0 series of cards are out. I remember shelling out 550 for it years ago thinking i'll never spend this much on a GPU again.

 

[Bug One]

It looks like used 6700XTs are starting to come down below the new prices. I'm guessing that was a popular mining card, and some people thinking this is the time to cash out.

 

[gpuerrilla]

They were terrible mining cards particularly as they sat above £750 since week after release..

It is bizarre.

 

[willhub]

They really are not.

Stock is plentiful and prices will continues to fall,especially if crypto prices stay down or go lower.

Your view of plentiful stock and prices falling seems very different to the current situation

It depends on your point of reference. Things were worse than they are now.

It is bizarre.

A 6500xt that sells for 225 on OC sold for 260 on ebay over the weekend.

Makes me wonder if sometimes there is no card and the buyer/seller are the same, and its a way to launder money.

Nvidia arm deal seems to not happen so nvidia going to recoup the cost somehow, 1.25billion dollar btw somehow.
I expect them to raise prices to do that for gpus
The market just got worse again
Mining crash is needed

Where have you been the last few weeks, the crash is happening, im making a whopping £1.30 profit after electricity for a 3090 at the moment, when we get these big price rises in april there will be nobody mining if it doesnt change (not in the uk anyway)

I had wondered whether laundering was a reason before as fleabay isn't even the only place where crazy prices what nobody sane would pay are seen! That or, just too many people who aren't sane. At least with auction sites people can excuse themselves by saying they got caught up in the bidding.

Not to worry when the govt introduce the inevitable energy cost subsidies it'll all kick off again!

Is that for a 24 hour period?

The 3050 might only deliver 20% of the hashing performance

Yup, 24 hour getting 120mh/s its crazy, this time last year it was £24 a day per card.

 

[Jono8]

Well, in comparison to before obviously.

Stock will increase and prices will keep increasing as mining profitability stays in the toilet.

Look at summer last year when crypto plummeted. Suddenly we had deals at or around RRP etc.

Thanks for confirming, that should reduce the demand for 3050 type cards (at least a bit) they will be getting just a few pence a day if the hash limits are true.

 

[HumanBot]

Still zero 1st world use case for crpyto, no value to business or consumer. Surely there will eventually be a 100 monkeys point when enough people realise its worthless, when enough people have been scammed in never ending FOMO pump and dumps. As long as there is no real value, the market will continue to be based on hot air. Ethereum is a woeful project now, only the self preservation of eth holders keeping it high, there are now multiple far better blockchaun projects. If crypto ever becomes anything other than hype, ethereum will really crash. Bitcoin is even worse, bunch of billionaires pretending it's a store of value, real gold can at least hold doors open and stuff.

If the rumoured hash rates are true, they won't be profitable to mine on for most (it will cost more in electricity)
