Did I miss something? Why is it still impossible to find an MSRP

ethereum miners

>>381571706
Is this a meme? I've been hearing this but I have no idea what's going on. People are using graphics cards for cryptocurrency mining?

>selling my 2 year old 390 for more than I paid for do nvidia cards play nice with ryzen? I was thinking about getting a 1080.

>>381571838
it's true

I wanted to get a 1070 and now I probably have to wait for months till the prices are stable again

I hope this fucking mining shit crashes hard very soon

>>381571838

Thanks for the link. I've been out of the loop this past year, finally thought it would be time to upgrade from my 660ti.. Seems like I'll just keep waiting.

I convinced my brother to pick up a 480 @ $150 after rebate a little bit before this ethereum madness, boy that paid off

Same thing happened to all the discounted RX480 8gb cards. I got my two on amazon for 168.99 a piece after $60 rebate and instant discount, went back to order another and they are all gone.

Cryptoniggers are truly the scum of the earth.

dodged a bullet I see

>Bought a 480 for $190 a few months ago to play Nier:Automata
Wew, dodged a bullet there.

>>381572083
well thats probably a good thing

vega and volta are around the corner

>>381572975
buying in now would be a huge waste of money
all we can do now is wait for this scheme to crash
if this shit doesn't crash the Vega will be out of stock as well in no time and prices might even go higher

Cryptocucks run amok buying gpu's. The sad part is that the 480/580 cards were supposed to be a mid range affordable card.

Got a 8gb 580 for $219 at the end of April. Fucking lucked out.

>>381573159
flip it for 600$ or swap it for a 1080

Can someone explain bitcoin mining to me? So people just devote processing power to "mining" bitcoins out of the digital ether and this gives them value somehow?

>>381571838

Flip that shit, especially if you have the 8gb version.

Well yeah but I thought the meme died because it wasn't profitable. GPU prices were stable for years.

>>381573972
Yeah but why bother with the processing power part so chinks will stop buying up the midrange cards and trying to infect my pc with miners?

but you can mine alt coints and you can make profit witting a month

>>381574149
not sure, I guess just a way to disperse the money slowly amongst people, so its not all owned by one person, making the currency valueless

This shit has to crash at some point right ? No way in hell an unlimited virtual currency can retain its value when everyone and their mom are mining. How do they even cash out anyway

>>381574482
ming with a rx480 makes 300$ monthly

>>381575251
No. At least 2-3 months running non-stop.

>>381575251
It makes even less when you consider how high the electric bills will be

>>381575219
it will crash that's inevitable
only question is how long it will take

could be weeks, could be years

The miners hoarding so many GPUs are the big reason why people still think making your own PC is expensive as hell. This shit's been going on for at least 4 years now.

Do this guys right now.
>buy RX480/580 near msrp
>sell it on ebay for $300+
Do this until you can't buy more cards. Easy money.

>>381575551
But it was not like this last year. I should have nabbed a 480. I saw at least 10 deals for 160-180$ RX 480s last year when they came out.

>>381573871
You cannot mine Etherium with ASICs, so GPUs are the next best option avaliable

>>381575251
>1month,dualmining running non-stop
i start with 1 480, bout a new rig with 6 480s with the profits

>tfw cryptocurrencies are just massive fucking ponzi schemes yet people keep falling for them and depriving GPUs from people who use them for worthwhile vidya

i fucking hate these people

>>381575551

Last time it got huge was in 2014 with litecoin, then it fell off by 2015.

>>381575251
It's like $100 running it non-stop after power costs a month.

It's good, but I don't live in bumfuck where power is 8c a kw/h, so I just use it on my 1070 when I sleep and I made enough to buy PuyoPuyo on Newegg.

Praying for more crashes to come. This was just yesterday.

This is what I get for playing the waiting game.

Guess I'll have to wait again for Vega...

>>381576036
Yeah, that's why despite all the crashes and all that shit, Bitcoin is still rising and so do many other cryptocurrencies. Becuase it's a bubble that's about to burst. Wake up, idiot, the trend is on the rise. Cryptocurrencies are getting more legitimacy with each day, as well as investors. Crashes are possible, but the trend is still up. The bigger they get the more stable they become

>>381574872
Sell it and buy a 1070.

Not just Vidya, gpus have been in use for professional work for a number of years now. This kiketocurrency shit is preventing people from buying better hardware to improve their productivity making their lives hell.

>>381576272
They're rising because they rely on hype to pull the punters to fund the early adopters, and you're falling for it. Well done. Hope you got your piece before this one crashes and you move onto whatever fuck the next one will be, dildocoins maybe?!

Read: https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=232141

>>381576483
True that, we use them for flood modelling funnily enough. I suppose vidya is still the primary usage though...

Op post name is about Consoles, so I'll mention this as it ends today: if you have a bunch of crap electronics, look up their TIV on Gamestop. If its on there, add $50 on it towards a new XBone. 5 pieces of shit nets you a new XBone.

>>381576538
They are rising mainly because of the legitimacy businesses, investors and legislative acts give them. Nobody would have given a shit about Bitcoin if nobody was taking them, it would have got the initial influx of idealist and people who wanted to get free shit by doing nothing and it would have stopped at $100-$300 dollar mark, constantly shuffling between different exchange rates due to crashes and being insanely insecure. That would be ponzi scheme. Now, hovewer, they are not, they are getting more widespread with each day. They are still insecure, but busineses make it more legitimate, which brings more investors, which brings more legitimacy etc. Sure, most of the other cryptocurrencies are ponzi schemes that die out and rise every half a year, but main ones do not. They are here to stay. Nobody gives a shit about no-name cryptocurrencies as currencies themselves, people that mine them only care about exchange rates with major ones.

>>381576410
B-but I've got a 4K monitor with freesync, only works with Radeon. Reeeeee

>>381571838
Yep, this isn't the first time AMD cards have drastically increased in price due to their ability to hash a lot better than Nvidia cards.

>>381576410
1070's have spiked in price too. Over $400.

The extra stupid thing is, even with the price spike mining buttcoons is still unprofitable unless you aren't paying for electricity.

>>381573865
>So people just devote labor and machinery to "mining" yellow rocks out of dirt and this gives them value somehow?

All you idiots saying 'I got one','I've got one! ;)' SELL THEM, idiots are buying these double the price of their RRP atm, this may be one of the few documented cases of computer hardware APPRECIATING in value, almost certainly the only time it's happened with GPUs, sell them and wait for AMD/Nvidia to release something new/their dedicated mining cards(which both companies are working on).

>>381575219
Mining works such that as coins are mined, it requires more and more processing power to mine future coins.

But Gold and Silver actually have industrial use and value because of their physical properties. Crypto is completely fiat.

Muh gayman PC will be dead until then though. How can I live without headshotting noobs, anon?

use igpu, not like you play anything but CSGO and indie games

>>381579584
If you have an Intel GPU yeah, use your intergrated graphics for now. Otherwise pick up a used GPU to hold you over, dirt cheap cards like the GTX 660(non ti) can be picked up for like $40 and runs brand new games at medium settings.

>>381573631

LOL crypto is a ponzi scheme. There is no real use for cyrpto except to buy drugs online. The price increase is because of speculation that it will be "great" someday that's it.

Search tulip trading. This is basically cryptos but digital/online/internet.

You should only use crypto because there's money to be made. Everything else and you're just an idiotic libertarian.

>>381580372
Actually the use of crypto is exclusively for buying shit remotely outlawed in your country.
Which is even more retarded.

>>381580484
Oh the white market of crypto, yes.
That's exactly why it isn't illegal yet, because some few peers actually use it for legit purposes of confidentiality, like yourself.
Still, it is mostly bullshit just for covering illegal activities easier.
