Miners. hence my comment about thats about what they are worth used on the second hand market now. To offset this, I suspect fewer people than ever will be upgrading this generation.

There will be some sell-off from them but the vast majority got out months ago when the energy prices increased. A lot of people won't touch cards that have been mined on with no warranty remaining either.
A lot of people are offloading their high end cards to buy RTX 40 series high end cards.
We’re seeing 3080 ti cards go for £575 which is roughly what the 2080 and 2080ti cards were going for before the launch of the RTX30 series.
Someone said that they aren’t seeing a discount on hardware other than GPUs but I’ve seen more than a few 12th gen bundles at a good price.

I'm kinda at this point to be honest, the only thing I really reply on the desktop PC for is Microsoft Flight Sim and I'm struggling for time to play that.
With costs of everything else going up why have a gaming rig worth £2000+ when I can spend £400 on an Xbox?
Depends what games you're playing.
I would never use an Xbox because I like modding, and modding on PC vs console is incomparable. Horses for courses, really.

True, to be honest I don't mod (Except Flight Sim) because mostly I play COD & Battlefield which don't allow mods anyway.

I'm guessing there are little shiny bits flying off all over the place, given the pressure there.

Not sure about a GPU but you can sure get some good quality furniture!
You can get a gpu, but it will come flat packed , so you need to get a builder in to build it

Cheap GPUS coming soon with a huge catch. but but miners look after their cards they care to do that because it makes them money blaa blaa blaa.Reality right there when it comes to selling them on.
Enjoy the flood literally flooding gear with water to clean them to sell on to people that have no idea what these miners are doing.

I wash populated PCB's regularly, depending on what components are on them, with mild detergents, then rinsed thoroughly in demineralised water, then I dry them with fan assisted hot air.
Once the cooling fans are removed from a GPU which components do you believe will be adversely affected by water spray washing and then thoroughly drying?
Apart from some coils and chokes, preset potentiometers and preset adjustable capacitors almost all surface mount components are hermetically sealed and the PCB substrate itself is unaffected by short term water wetting.
