It'll return when I give up and buy one, because this universe conspires to drive me to misery.

I'm still on a PC from 2009. I finally have money to build a new PC and all the prices shot up.

>Pcbros got cucked

serves you right for your arrogance

>>382301237
But I can't play strategy games on it. FPSes are a joke. I also don't like to play rpgs on it.

>>382301317
You at least have pc. I just wanted to play witcher 3 and doom in this legendary ultra details, 1080p, 60 fps

As soon as it stops being profitable to mine cryptocoins.

what's happening why are they raising in price

3 months into next year
there'll be all new cards and cheap burnt used cards

>As soon as it stops being profitable to mine cryptocoins.
It's barely even profitable now though, getting back the money you spent on the card, combined with the price of electricity to run it means that it's pretty much pointless.

I'm just sucking it up and buying a 1050ti desu

>>382302445
Bitcoin miners bought them all so, prices are rising
>>382302380
But when it will be? I wanted to buy gtx 1060 6gb, but i'm thinking about settling for 3gb version or even 1050. Or should I just wait?

>>382302687
same here but I was long overdue for an upgrade anyway. No point in spending a ton on a new gpu when my mobo and cpu are gonna hold it back. At least it's only 100 burger dollars here.

>>382302763
how much patience do you have?? If you don't mind the wait and can play the games you want right now I don't see any rush.

>>382302763
Stop being a stupidhead
Nvidia prices are only inflated because Nvidia is jews. AMD cards are the only ones inflated by coin mining, because they're currently the most efficient.

>>382302583
It's profitable if you mine with a lot of cards. Obviously not profitable anymore if you're mining on a home desktop or whatever.

how much would a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 4GB G1 GAMING OC EDITION go for?

Never.

>>382303368
Be my slut for two weeks and I'll buy it for you anon

Cryptocurrency would need to take a huge hit, and then it would still probably take a little while for prices to recover

>>382301087
buy a premade...

When the sun rises in the east and sets in the west

>check on 1050 ti today on newegg
>it went up $10 across the board from 2 days ago

>>382301087
normalfags will move onto a new fad in a couple months

>>382303554
As long as the Chinese are trying to sneak money out of China and the Venezeulans need a store of value that isn't rapidly depreciating, the price of bitcoin will not fall.

>>382302583
at release people were reeling in $3-$4 per day. Its probably about $2-$3 per day now. Electricity is roughly 40 cents a day on it. Itl make its money back after a year and any time beyond is cash in pocket.

Why are 980s nearly the same price as 1080s?

>>382304847
Actually it's probably more like $1 nowadays.

>>382301317
I know this fucking feel.

Exactly the same. I salvaged a prebuilt and threw a good PSU in there. I only needed a nice mid-range GPU and this shit happens.

GTX580 1.5GB for life.

>>382301237
Consoles are meme for children my dude, never again.

>>382301237
I'd rather play tabletop games, really. Games just don't feel right on consoles.

How big is the performance gap between the gtx 900/1000 series? The 1070 is jacked up to $400+ because of cryptojews, and a friend of mine is willing to sell me his 970 for $100

>970
>$100

>>382301237
But I like playing at 144fps

What happened with their prices that made them jump so much? The 1060 I bought was only 180 on sale and now it's pushing 370+.

>>382302380
So basically never

>>382307802
Cryptocoin miners buying up all the cards leading to huge supply shortage and more demand so merchants are upping the price to take advantage of the demand

>>382301087
Stay poor. :^)

>>382301087
they are tho, in non-burgerlandia

How fucking poor are you people?

Do you live in Africa or something?

>>382309043
In poland prices also increased i sane amount

>>382309591
Same with Russia.

>>382309108
It just feels dumb to buy 1.5 the price of a video card because of what might be a passing fad. Like, if the hype dies out there's going to be a change of prices and also a bunch of cheap used cards on the market. Waste of money.

But waiting is killing me.

>>382309842
>cheap used cards
I don't reccomend. They are working 24/7. They are going to break very fast
I think i'll just buy 1050 or 1060 3gb

>>382310660
Yeah, I was wary of that too, I just figured out the oversaturation of used cards marked will lead to the new ones dropping the prices at least to pre-hype levels.

>>382310765
If AMD and NVIDIA will increase production it might be. They might not for this very reason

>>382301237
Once GPU prices become too high. Hackers will try to turn consoles into mining machines...

Seeing how both MS and Sony are opening the floodgates for cheap games, it's just a matter of time before a mining program will be delivered disguised as a game.

>>382308512
Kinda.
Those things are meant to get harder and harder to mine, and it gets to a point where you have to use your own FPGA shit because GPUs are not profitable to do it.
Bitcoin is at this point, but there is this new cryptocoin shit going up the same path.
