Title: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: xxcsu on March 24, 2018, 03:46:12 AM GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :), and miners don't want those cards anymore :)
Check out the newegg promo store (https://www.newegg.com/Graphics-Cards-Promo-Store/EventSaleStore/ID-1388?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=IGNEFL032318&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL032318-_-EMC-032318-Index-_-MECH-_-VGA-EB0A&et_cid=42044&et_rid=243715&email64=eHhjc3VAYmVsbHNvdXRoLm5ldA%3D%3D&Order=PRICE) I think the "The cryptocurrency craze" is over now, till the coins price stays low for sure Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: Vann on March 24, 2018, 03:50:57 AM I'm not seeing that. In stock, yes. But $400 for a RX 580 with a 'free' riser is not a deal. LOL I bought a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB card for $279 from Newegg last December.

We only buy them when it's profitable and the deals are never good then.

So i see price is way down, im sure its going to be cheaper soon :) and now i can not see a lot of "sold out" or "on back order" sign on newegg :) Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: umine on March 24, 2018, 05:54:40 AM GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :), and miners don't want those cards anymore :) Check out the newegg promo store (https://www.newegg.com/Graphics-Cards-Promo-Store/EventSaleStore/ID-1388?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=IGNEFL032318&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL032318-_-EMC-032318-Index-_-MECH-_-VGA-EB0A&et_cid=42044&et_rid=243715&email64=eHhjc3VAYmVsbHNvdXRoLm5ldA%3D%3D&Order=PRICE) I think the "The cryptocurrency craze" is over now, till the coins price stays low for sure I like this trend. Also due to NVIDIA will announce Ampere GPUs soon I hope to buy some new GPUs at adequatelly price (like 400-450 USD for GTX1070 a year ago). Of course mining profitability now is closer and closer to operational cost (i.e. electricity, cooling and so on) but last two years it was high enough. So that reserve could be enough until next bubble in 2021-2022 year. An for me now the best strategy is "HOLD as much as POSSIBLE" Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: szafa on March 24, 2018, 06:16:30 AM My 2 gtx 1080ti have get me back my money in couple off month minning lb.y.
Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: Metroid on March 24, 2018, 06:43:57 AM It is still 50% more usd than used to be before the surge. RX 580 before the surge was $300, now $400.
Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: crocozino on March 24, 2018, 06:50:31 AM still the prices are really high, while profits from mining are really low
yes, they can go even lower, but what we have now is also not very fun at all! and miners who bought the cars in January or February they will have like 2 years ROI now I guess with current profits. if only bitcoin will jump to 20-25k, that could help them to ROI their cards faster.. Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: warning_btc on March 24, 2018, 06:54:48 AM even if gamer can buy gpu's, they dont want buy after mining.
There is opinion what gpu after mining give lower fps )) Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: umine on March 24, 2018, 07:08:18 AM .... There is opinion what gpu after mining give lower fps )) Moreover they smell worse and can crumble to dust immediately after buying. I sold several R9 380 and 970 GPUs last months and some really thought so :D Title: Re: GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards :) Post by: Piskeante on March 24, 2018, 08:45:22 AM they run lower fps because of the bios mod, specially if well done in downclocking.
The cards will do the exact same fps as new even if they've been mining for two years. But this does also depend on the "care" you take about them, temps, voltage, etc.... I would buy myself cards any day of the year for gaming.

You call 330 dollars for an RX 570 cards getting cheaper?
Hell I've seen the rx 570 armor sell for sub 150 on newegg . . . long gone are these days |
