They're even buying entire OEM systems now just to sell the GPUs on ebay
>>61394912
I had a feeling that would start happening eventually.
>>61394912
So .. where's the OEM PCs? They can't be selling what's left for that much.
>>61394912
How can that be profitable? Aren't prebuilt PC's usually pretty bad value compared to just buying components individually. Even if you manage to sell the GPU for some profit your left with a shit OEM PSU, case, mobo etc.
don't worry about it, the crypto market has been crashing for a few weeks, btc is under $2000 today
a flood of people trying to get out is already happening, they're just not in desperation to recoup costs just yet
>>61394963
It doesn't matter when the GPUs are selling for 2-3x MSRP.
>>61394931
>>61394963
They end up making ~$150 per computer. If I were slightly more jewish I'd have already bought four
>>61395022
I didn't cherry pick these listings either, they were the best "deals" on the 1st search page
>>61395022
Who's actually going to buy that gutted OEM PC for that price? Garbage.
Why is this happening now? What are miners after?
>>61394912
everything is crashing. just wait a couple of week and the market will be flooded with this shit, plus vega™ will already be on shelfs
>>61394912
Wouldn't $1,500 worth of ASICs serve miners better?
>>61395268
Coins.
>>61395894
not all coins are the same
>>61395894
ASICs work almost exclusively with bitcoin, sadly. If they worked with ethereum people wouldn't be shelling out the price of a used car for a few hundred megaherts.
>>61394912
Lol, don't blame miners for these retards actions. If they honestly think people are going to buy this shit they should thing again. These idiots are even worse than people buying into this shitty pyramid scheme.
>>61395268
Money

>>61395950
Oh. Damn. Guess minerfags will continue to fuck up GPU prices for a while, then.
>>61395925
But why now? The Bitcoin train was several years ago.
Can someone explain to me, what kind of operation the GPU does in exchange for cryprocurrency?
>>61394912
>buying entire OEM systems
Don't you mean STOCK systems?
>>61394912
Shit, I am so glad I bought my current card right before this bullshit. AMD and Nvidia need to up their god damn production to offset this shit.
>>61396004
Didn't BTC increase 33% in value less than six months ago? There is still some life in it, the latest meme is is investing in random cryptocurrencies, hoping they'll take off naturally or with excessive shilling.
Just hat happened/is happening with ETH right now.
Crypto is still shit and a retarded 'investment' though, more than ever now really.
>>61396004
Bitcoin's previous all time high was ~$1200 in 2014, now it got close to $3000 a few months ago.
>>61396041
isn't ETH implemented in a way that heavily discourages miner farms?
>>61394912
LOL... fucking gaymers BTFO!
>>61396095
Die, laughing whore poster.
>>61396026
This isn't NASCAR. They're not STOCK computers.
