The graphics card I want retails for $700. It is getting more and more possible to find it at that price, but NEWEGG is still charging $1,000 for it.

So I think its a little premature to say that Graphics Cards unaffected by crypto.

The person you responded to said "graphics cards haven't been relevant to bitcoin" (not crypto)

Bitcoin isn't mined with GPUs any more. The GPU shortage is because of the ethereum hype which is strongly linked to bitcoin hype.
