I need a new GPU. Checking out the prices of GPU's and they are sky high. A gtx 1070 costs about 440 € two months ago... Now 530 €... which is nuts.
Fucking miners. How long will it take for the prices to drop?
probably until fall/winter

wait™ two weeks
>>61450760
Ur gonna have to wait a while.
Prices will stabilize
New GPUs are coming out soon
>>61450760
Ask us 6 months from now. We at /g/ is totally powerless against minefags

>How long will it take for the prices to drop?
the price of eth and a bunch of altcoins needs to fall quite a bit further. the massive buying of new cards has stopped, but I don't think mining is unprofitable yet, there'll be a lot of people still mining to pay off their cards. Some miners are selling cards, but they're still above retail MSRP for new ones (lol) - those are the ones who've already paid them off and want to get out early.

I wanted to purchase two RX 580's but sadly this delayed me.

Yeah me too. I just wanted one 480/580 but miners made it impossible and now the price had risen 40%.
Guess I'll just pass on a new rig until this is sorted.

Thank you based miners. It's retaliation for your shitposting and spamming the /g/.
I would really prefer miners on /g/ and their interesting threads about cryptocurrency and data mining with GPUs instead of your gaymer consumer shit.

2-12 months, demand is very high atm
I found a dude on eBay selling a RX480 for equivalent $20 (approx.) USD, saying he used it for mining and had no idea what happened but it stopped working.
The dude must've tugged the PCIe cable or something out, because when I plugged it into my motherboard, it worked.
Feels pretty good. I'm not expecting a long lifespan though, but $20 for a 480 is bretty gud

>RX580 cost the equivalent of USD 430 over here
fuck this mining meme

GPUs aren't always used for games. I use my GPU for BOINC.
