GPU Hoarding: ‘I Felt Like I Was Buying Drugs’

I think this is a short term thing and will ease as GPU supply catches up and competition reduces profit margins. Right now from my calculations, a GPU is looking at something like 10 months until break even based on current crypto and GPU prices.

That's not a great investment considering you could just trade cyrpto itself and be far more liquid.

heh, when? by the time you will be able to get one they will have a new one out you can't get either. I thought I would be able to get two of the AMD vega 64 shortly after COMPDEX. Then I saw the prices. WHOOF. Availablity sucks, price sucks, and frankly I am still waiting.

At my local store (Toronto) pretty much all the Nvidia models are in stock. Prices are high though.

There is also stock available on the aftermarket, including whole rigs for sale.
