lol you’re delusional if you think amd/nvidia/intel are going back to 2020 pricing.

This. Even if the demand goes down, the next generation will have the current prices as MSRP, because idiots proved that they are willing to pay this much.
-
Consoomers sealed their fate by giving in and buying their PS5s and GTX 3000s from scalpers at 220% the MSRP. Now for the next 5 years they’re gonna be watching every site with bots that automatically put the whole stock in their cart and buy it before poor saps have the chance to even get an email or text that it’s in stock. I’m a poorscrote with an i5 and 1070ti who’s burnt out on video games, so I don’t really care either way.

I own one. It can be fun at times but at the end of the day you’re playing games on some 15w tdp GPU from 2017. Price drop from then is £20. It’s really not a good deal. Add a pro controller on top of that because joycons are cheap freaking garbage.

1080ti’s are going for nearly $1000 lmao
I got mine for $300 last year-
I honestly regret not buying more 1080Ti’s when I had the chance. They were going for as low as 200€ for a day after the announcement.
-
I regeret not getting into bitcoin when it was a few cents.

You would sell it when it was few dollars and still regret it. The only way normie would profit from crypto is to lose password for account, and then accidentally rediscover it when BTC was at few hundred dollars.

Not him but I have a wallet for doge coins containing possibly millions of them if not more. The password was a long long rant about garden gnomes. I keep it as a memento for my scrotebraination for not writing my passwords somewhere safe.

>GPUs to become more affordable?
With all the chip shortages? Nah
GPU price being < Profits will be always true for a looooooooooooooong time, even if it crashes hard-
There’s no shortage, GPUs are getting dust on shelves because nobody wants to spend 800€ on a 6600xt, you can go to any retail store and buy whatever GPU you want right now, be it you’re wanting to pay 300% the MSRP.
-
-
Are people eating their GPUs? Who keeps buying them at these prices?
-
Scalpers, because they know bitcoin miners will buy them at those prices, and they do, because bitcoin is too good. Well, it’s trash, but cultists gonna cultist.
-
Never underestimate how scrotebrained the average user is. I’ve been holding two friends back from buying a new PC for about a year now but they """need""" it right now.
-
It’s a privilege to buy at these prices! In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a chip shortage right now and companies are struggling. We ought to support them as much as we can!

its a legitimate prediction
nvidia and amd won’t just lose the immense buying pressure at any price they have now
they will also have to compete with 15-20million used miner GPUs flooding ebay
its going to be a slaughter-
Which is why its in their best interest that mining never crashes.
Now you know why it won’t.-
they don’t control the crypto market
nor are they going to abduct ETH devs
grow the fuck up, we’re talking about a 2trillion dollar market and billion dollar corporations
its not a shitty hollywood movie-
>you don’t control the market that runs on your hardware
lol
even if they dont control it they can strongly influence it
it is in the best interest of both amd and nvidia and their every client and shareholder that their stocks dont crash
don’t be naive-
they can’t influence shit
what do you think will happen exactly?
nvidia will drop a few billions of its profits to buy ETH?
a publicly traded company?
wtf are you smokingthe only thing they can do is make real LHR cards that don’t mine at all
and then sell dedicated mining cards
the only reason they didn’t is because crypto is historically transient
you get a bullrun and then 6-12 months later it crashes down to 20-30% of peak
so it didn’t make sense to make a new hardware revision for something that will go away
-

-

-
>He still thinks PoS is still happening with all this money at stake
-
the people making the decision are the ETH devs
they are holders, not miners
and going POS benefits holders
because they can make free money by staking their coins
and because it will remove the selling pressure from miners who have to recoup their hardware and electricity costs
so ya, it will happen-
Yeah I’m sure it’ll benefit them alot, that’s why they’ve been delaying it since 2019
-
it obviously benefits them
i think i explained why very simply
the delay is due to the need to get the details perfect in one try
if the upgrade is somehow faulty and the chain corrupts, it could tank the value of the coin

I think the prices for graphics cards will likely stay high and crypto currencies will raise in retrospect to this. Or maybe crypto will crash due to inflated prices of the future.
-
there was an interesting analysis on r/ethermine
not directly about gpus & prices, but about the estimated future profitability of mining
anyone who isn’t here for shilling/flaming should have a read, its well made:
https://old.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/pu9elq/total_mining_profit_until_20_chart_update/the TLDR is that ETH is ~95% of total GPU mining income
ETH will go POS, at which point GPU mining is ded
we are already well past the point where buying GPUs for mining is smart
sure, its profitable in the sense that you make more ETH than you spend on electricity
but accounting for resale value and other things to do with the money, its not a good idea anymore
and hasn’t been for a few months nowthe chances that ETH devs don’t push POS are quite slim
POS benefits holders at the expense of miners
holders can earn money for free by staking
and the selling pressure miners induce goes away, boosting the price
and ETH devs are holders, not minersi also want to add that in the (very unlikely) scenario that nothing major changes in ’22
so, no POS and also no crypto crash,
we will almost certainly see nvidia and AMD doing some real market segmentation
they are already doing it with Quadros and Teslas and whatever AMD calls their workstation/ML offerings
why not overcharge miners blatantly and sell LHR cards to gamers to maintain that market against consoles
remember, the LHR thing was a patch onto an existing design
if the whole crypto thing goes on, it will be a hardware thing-
GPU mining hasn’t really been viable at large scale unless you pay cents per kwh or straight up steal the power needed to run your cards.
-
i wish
ETH is still very profitable
even now you can make close to $10/day on a 3080 mining ETH
the profitability is going down fast, due to the difficulty rising and EIP-1599 burning fees
but its still profitable even with expensive electricity
ofc the large industrial mining operations are using cheap electricity in 3rd world countries, but whatever-
Well like the post you linked also said you can make much more speculating on ETH than mining it so what’s the point?
-
there is no point anymore
people still buying cards are noobs
the time to buy cards and mine was back in ’20
people buying now will probably lose money
-
-
-
-
>sure, its profitable in the sense that you make more ETH than you spend on electricity
need to spend money while gaining money = liquidity
pos = stagnation, death-
the point of that paragraph was that its profitable
but not smart
ya, you make 20 bucks a day and spend only 3 for electric
but if you do the math on what the card costs, what it will likely sell for after POS comes, how much you will mine until then, etc
its pretty obvious that you will either lose money
or at the very least lose money compared to just putting it in some index fund
so its not smart anymore
especially compared to buying in mid/late ’20, before prices got insane, before the bulk of the bullrun had occured, before difficulty skyrocketed
-
-
Why stop at LHR? Make them zero hash rate. As soon as the card recognizes the eth mining algo, it just locks up and requires a restart for function again. No other way to stop people from mining.
-
ya, that’s what i expect will happen if GPU mining somehow doesn’t die soon
i think nvidia and amd know very well that this is not sustainable
not just in the sense that its not in their interest to abandon the gamer market
but in the sense that GPU mining will die, one way or another
historically, crypto has always crashed after a major bull run
and historically, GPU mining always gets eaten by ASICS
in the present, ETH is ASIC resistant, so the efficiency gain is not as huge as it is with BTC ASICS
but anyway, it doesn’t matter
GPU mining will die one way or another
so it doesn’t make sense to invest in hardware level blocks that will solve the issue permanantly
-
-
ETH miners will just fork it and ETH Classic will continue doing what it always did.
-
Only problem is nobody uses ETH classic and nobody will use fork once 2.0 is rolled out because it is superior in every way.
Cost of Classic will not become 20x to make it profitable to mine, it has nothing on chain worth mining it. -
every single ETH ASIC in existence right now will switch to ETC after POS hits
i doubt even ASICS will be able to make a profit then
but even without the ASICS, it doesn’t matter
ETH is 95% of all GPU mining revenue
unless the rest of the GPU mineable coins do a literal 20x the income will drop massively
-
-
As long as the crash happens after my 3080 pays for itself
-
Guy doesn’t seem to mention it, but the difficulty is also set to double roughly in early december assuming the total compute stays about tthe same. So unless the price of ETH doubles everyone will take a huge hit regardless, even with that alone and without POS it would probbaly destroy all but "free" electricity miners.
>the chances that ETH devs don’t push POS are quite slim
That chance is actually 0%, the only question is when. Likely january 1 or early 2022 if they kick the can a little down the road.Used cards will likely be very cheap. combined with intel’s low priced cards, 2022 should be great.
-
If mining becomes unprofitable then no one mines, but mining is how transactions are verified and therefore if no one mines then transactions can’t be processed, right? And if you can’t exchange your shittokens then they’re worthless, right?
Am I understanding this correctly?-
no quite
if mining becomes unprofitable, people stop mining
clearly, spending $10 of electricity to get $9 of coins is dumb, you can just buy the coins directly
so people stop mining, the difficulty drops, and profits rise
eventually the market balances after enough people have stopped mining
obviously, the people left mining in the end are those with the cheapest electricity and most efficient equipmentbut for the purposes of gamers, once ETH goes POS, we’re good
at least 90-95% of all GPUs currently mining will end up being sold off
and we’re talking like 15-20 million cards mining currently
so when all those cards get sold, ebay is flooded, prices drop to below MSRP, gamers rejoice-
>15-20 million cards mining currently
15-20 million cards which have been ran overvolted and overclocked to squeeze last drops of profits before selling, which require 700+ watt PSU to operate, and which have driver support dropped left and right to clear space for next generation of cards.Also etherium will never go pos, the swines will just keep postponing it forever.
-
How are second hand mining cards?
I assume running them overclocked for 24hr/day isn’t great for their longevity-
In my experience similar to a baked gpu. Dead in a month.
-
Even back when they used gaming GPUs, they ran them underclocked because that’s where the optimal energy usage was.
Nowadays they use custom ASICs, which makes this entire thread moot.
Nobody is using PS5s, Series Xs, or cars chips to mine crypto. This is driven by the supply chain distribution because of COVID still hitting China harder than they’re publicly admitting, and you’re all dumb enough to believe the cover story.-
>ETH mining spikes when Nvidia releases ampere
Yeah, it’s the quarantine measures in chinese manufacturing plants!-
Did you bother reading the rest of my post? There’s supply shortages for everything, even in your fantasy world where crypto did not exist, you still wouldn’t have a 3000 series card
Good to know, I still feel it’s largely a
scapegoat for supply chain issues-
bitch i will straight up buy a prebuilt to get a 3080
-
>I still feel it’s largely a
>scapegoat for supply chain issues
its not a scapegoat, its the only cause of the GPU shortage
notice that no other PC components are affected
sub-msrp 5600x has been available for months
to be fair, covid alone would’ve had some effect too
but a much smaller one
intel CPUs for instance never got overpriced at any point during covid/lockdowns
the squeeze was entirely on GPUs due to crupto
and for a while AMD CPUs too
because they shared the same node as consoles and AMD GPUsthere is a supply chain issue, but its affecting much older nodes
chips used in cars/home electronics/industrial stuff
those chips don’t use TSMC 7nm/Samsung 8nm or GDDR6(X) ram-
>There’s supply shortages for everything, even in your fantasy world where crypto did not exist, you still wouldn’t have a 3000 series card
No, the actual "Covid Tax" on electronics is about 20%-30% tops. The only other consumer electronics that has increased in price is the RAM, which right now is 20-30% higher (but RAM is also affected by crypto, BTW, and I don’t write off price fixing, since RAM manufacturers are happy to do that and have been doing for years if you remember 2018 RAM prices). But that’s still not 220% higher than MSRP. 850-1000$ for 3080 would be ok for me, but not 2200$.Woke af factposters BTFOing the cryptoshill.
-
>its not a scapegoat, its the only cause of the GPU shortage
>notice that no other PC components are affected
Explain why consoles are permasold out everywhere then. Even Xbox which apparently no one needs. Everything which can run games, i.e. it has a graphics chip is sold out. Obviously it’s GPU vendors fuck up.-
consoles are always sold out/scalped for a few months when they first release
southpark even had 2 episodes on the subject 😀
and there’s extra demand due to covid/lockdowns
and there’s extra demand due to GPU shortage pushing PC gamers to console
and AMD is not making any extra chips for them because they are printing money with their TSMC allocation going to CPUs/GPUs
i expect the console shortage to be permanantly fixed once AMD moves their CPUs/GPUs to a newer node -
>few months
Its shaping up to be few years
>and AMD is not making any extra chips for them because they are printing money with their TSMC allocation going to CPUs/GPUs
It’s not how the deal with console vendors works. They can’t just casually walk out of it because they saw something more shiny. -
>Its shaping up to be few years
this time with covid and crypto, it may well end up being a year or more before steady msrp supply>t’s not how the deal with console vendors works. They can’t just casually walk out of it because they saw something more shiny.
thats my point exactly
they are making exactly as many chips as their contract dictates
normally they’d make more to take advantage of extra console demand
but due to covid and crypto they are selling every GPU chip they make regardless of price
so making more GPUs is better than making more console chips -
The scalper tax on consoles here is 35%. The GPUs are like 2x-3x the MSRP, except 3080Ti, some of which are 1.5x the MSRP.

BTC is mined only with ASICS
ETH is still very profitable to mine on GPUs
but ETH ASICs exist and are being rolled out
because the ETH algo is supposed to be ASIC reistant,
the efficiency gain is MUCH less than it was for BTC
so it’s not going to be as fast to replace all GPUs
realistically, it’s more likely that ETH goes POS or crypto goes into a bear market
before ETH ASICs manage to kill GPU mining ETH
but if somehow the miners avoid both POS and the bear market, eventually ASICs will push them out
-
-
-
in general, miner cards are better than used gamer cards
miners usually underclock their cards, not overclock
and generally speaking, running at a constant load 24/7 is better for equipment than variable loads
staying hot is better than cycling between hot/coldthe exception is the 3080/3090
the fast GDDR6X vram does tend to get super hot
and most of those cards had poor thermal pads for the vram chips
mind you, the miners usually replace the thermal pads because overheating limits the hashrate, but whatever
anything else should be fine, and certainly healthier than equally old gamer cardstldr: avoid used 3080/3090, everything else is super safe buy
Also etherium will never go pos, the swines will just keep postponing it forever.
>Also etherium will never go pos, the swines will just keep postponing it forever.
the DEVS decide if it goes POS
and the DEVS are holders, not miners
and POS benefits holders
so it will go POS
because the DEVS want to make money
and they don’t give a rats ass about miners
-
-
-
-
you and the other anon were thinking of BTC
that is indeed not profitable anymore with any GPU
check whattomine.com
ETH mining is profitable even in very expensive electricity countries like western EU
you can make like $7-8 a day on a 3080-
And ETH itself is valuable, and thus appealing to miners, because BTC’s high price is keeping the crypto market alive. Every coin depends on BTC not dropping to single digit $.
-
-
>posting tranime
>being cluelessPic related. Most of those GPUs still have less than 1 year ROI, even electricity included.
-
-
Why are you assuming it is all going to be done done for ETH? If eth goes POS people are just going to start mining any of the other dozens of well known cryptos or hundreds of lesser known shitcoins and tokens.
-
because ETH provides ~95% of all GPU mining revenue
if ETH goes POS, all the GPUs mining right now will only get 5% as much income as they do now
so, unless the GPU mineable alts do a literal 20x, ETH going POS is the end of GPU mining
as far as gamers wanting GPUs are concerned, ETH is the only crypto that exists in the world
-
-
etc almost makes as much money as eth mining, several coins are profitable to mine right now
-
100% wrong
we’re not talking about the profits of 1 person, but all the miner community combined
there are much fewer people mining ETC than ETH, and ETH is still more profitable per person
also, when ETH goes POS, all the ETH ASICs will switch to ETC
you can forget about mining ETC with a GPU after ETH goes POSErgo is big with miners
outside of miner communities, people don’t even know the nameETH is 95% of total GPU minng revenue currently
if ETH goes POS, the rest of the GPU coins must do a 20x to maintain current mining profitability
-
-
I think ergo will be big, I am accumulating it. It has some smart contract stuff and is proof of work, is trying to advance proof of work. I think miners will be interested in it.

>is compeltely scrotebrained
if the GPU shortage/pricing was due to anything other that mining, it would affect other PC components
and it doesn’t
i can get a sub-MSRP 5600x right now
from multiple shops
and i could have done this for at least 4-5 months nowthe only component other than GPUs thats gotten more expensive is SSDs/HDDs
which is due to Chia mining
and the effect is much smaller because Chia is much less popular than ETHthe real shortage issues affect industrial chips
the sort that go into cars and refrigerators and stuff like that
those chips dont use TSMC 7nm/Samsung 8nm
or GDDR6(X)-
>it would affect other PC components
>and it doesn’t-
what other components are affected, you scrotebrained hobo cumstain?
literally only GPUs are overpriced-
Which PC components can you not get at msrp right now aside from GPUs?
While it’s nowhere near as serious for CPUs, AMD’s low-end CPUs (R3 and below) are either nonexistent (for Zen 3) or significantly overpriced.
-
thats a direct effect of the GPU situation
it doesn’t make sense for AMD to waste 7nm wafer capacity to make cheap CPUs
when instead they can make more GPUs to sell to miners at inflated prices
once the crypto stuff dies down, i expect Zen3 R3s to roll out
-
-
-
Which PC components can you not get at msrp right now aside from GPUs?
-
CPUs because of shortage. There are the intel i3s tho that seem to be stocked well. AMD is a lost cause for getting a cpu or gpu from them for msrp
-
In bongland the 5600x has been below msrp for months now.

In many places outside America too, AMD seems to be one of the few companies that actually ship their shit to different regions at once instead of sending everything to America first.

>bitcoin still at 42k-
Yeah I just made huge, massive gains on the recent Iridium surge. I diversified my profits and then reconsolidated my Iridium holdings once the prices finally fell and I’m back to hodling my IRD.
This kind of shit is only going to keep happening. We’ll see depending whether things like Celo and Stellar Lumens start becoming as popular and widely adopted payment as doge(lol), bitcoin, eth etc. and then because of basic need and economics is probably going to end up replacing shit like Western Union and wiring money overseas through that bullshit expensive and slow international banker system.
Now that everyone and their grandma is interested in crypto expect yet another surge with RDNA3/Lovelace launch.

It’s not about crypto or some shipping logistics problems, it’s about the west descending to third world status and the basic things we took for granted (eg, home ownership) becoming unaffordable to average Americans.

Explain me how the collapse of crypto will make entry-level affordable GPU more affordable considering neither Nvidia or AMD even makes them anymore? I don’t care if I can buy RTX for 300$, that’s massive overkill for me already.
-
If we’re lucky, Intel will service the poorscrote market segment Q1 next year
-
Well I tried using integrated Intel GPU, and ended up buying GT 730. Intel driver support is worse than AMD.
-
-
This. What the fuck happened with the low end gpus?
-
They stopped making them. According to my calculations, GPU vendors make 4 times more per square mm of wafer selling high-end than low-end, and they simply don’t give a shit about low-end market. Maybe when and if consoles return to MSRP they will be forced to make cheap cards to compete. Or maybe because TSMC become the only fab in the world GPU vendors only can have tiny portion of monthly wafers, and they would rather spend it on cards with best payoff.
-
Fascinating. I was always left with the impression manufacturers made more money from the low end market than the enthusiast one as I remember overclocking and even soft modding rebranded high end chips in the early to mid 2000’s. I guess I’m just too old and gotta get used to the great anal reboot.
-
You can fit 300 of 200mm squared chips on wafer. That’s 300*150=45,000$
Or you can fit 80 600mm RTX 3090 chips. That’s 80*1500=120,000$. Both cost same to produce on TSMC. Ofc Nvidia only makes RTX 3080/3090 as long as there’s apparently unlimited market for them.
-
-
-
in the present situation, making low end is a waste of time/resources
long term, one of 2 things will happen
either the vendors abandon the < $300 segment because they don’t want to compete with used previous gen on ebay
or they decide there’s still money to be made and they go after it
it’s worth noting that historically, the sub $300 segment accounts for like 80% of sales
to gamers, that is, miners are a different story altogether
it really depends on whether the gamer market grows or not
if the total number of gamers is stable, then there will be enough used previous gen GPUs to go around
and those used GPUs will drop to whatever price they must to be sold
if the market grows, there is still profit to be made and the vendors will go after it-
>it’s worth noting that historically, the sub $300 segment accounts for like 80% of sales
Yes, because high end graphic cards were sold at around $300 maximum. The prices inflated quite a lot in ten years.-
well, you if look at steam hardware survey, the dominant cards are the 1060, 2060(super), 480, 580
the 1080s, 2070s, 2080s are all WAY lower popularity
-
-
-
Well you see, an APU with 20% of a 1050 Ti’s performance is completely fine for gaming and it’s not like manufacturers really want that objectively largest market for home user GPU sales as proven by all forms of statistics. Completely normal. Why would anyone sell 100 million $200 cards when they could be selling 50 $3000 cards? You can’t argue with the math.
-
APUs and iGPUs have gotten good enough to more or less remove the necessity of x10 and x30 tier dedicated gpus. The only reason I bought a cheap 1030 for my media center tower is because the woefully outdated i7 6700k’s iGPU couldn’t pipe 4k at 60Hz. Otherwise, especially since CUDA encoding doesn’t exist for the 1030, there’s no other reason I’d need or use it.
NVIDIA put out the 1650 and 1660 cards for low-end after the 2xxx series came out, so that covers the bill there.-
those are "i need more screens for work" graphics cards
not gaming GPUs
when the person you replied to mentioned low end, he meant stuff like the rx560/70 and gtx1650/60
those are indeed entirely absent in the newest generation, at least price-wise
imo the 6600xt would be a $250 gpu absent the crypto nonsense -
You freaking idiot. Even a $150 dGPU is magnitudes stronger than APUs/iGPUs, the only people who game on the latter are cursed people who envy the dead.
-
-
-
just buy cpu with integrated graphics
-
-
the prices won’t go down until eth switches to pos
-
Eth will never switch to pos
>Used cards will likely be very cheap
Honestly I wouldn’t pick used RTX 3080/3090 even for free. These cards have inadequate heat dissipation, and each time some pajeet in gamedev forgets to put fps limiter in their game they start bricking en masse. Meanwhile miners have been running them on 100% for years. No thanks.

the miners arent the main problem.

Whole point of RTX30#0 series was that Jensen would give back to PC gamers what with RTX3070 for as low as $499(coincidentally the price of PS5/XBONXSXS)…
AMD is selling RX6600 in 2021 for…500$?? And RX6600 is basically RX580 with updated drivers…

>And RX6600 is basically RX580 with updated drivers…
Not even close. 5500XT is roughly on par with 580, and 6600 is much more powerful than taht.

>The crash is happening.
This freaking thread is made every couple months and nothing changes..

true
but the matter will be resolved one way or another
either now or later
nothing lasts forever
either crypto will crash into a bear market
or ETH will go POS
or ETH ASICS will kill profitability of GPU mining
or Nvidia & AMD decide they can’t let the PC gaming market die and do a proper LHR implementation with 0% hashrate
one way or another, it will be resolved
my money is that crypto crashes before anything else, a bull market longer than a year is unheard of in the space
and afterwards POS gets pushed to kill everything off for good

It’s $10,000 higher than it was 2 months ago and you’re saying a crash is happening?

This is the new normal. The demand is so high, just like with the dating market. Eventually it will crash, but we have a LONG time before we’ve hit the peak. We are a long ways to the peak.

everyone else can take one for the team and buy one, either it drops or i spend my money somewhere else.

itsb not a crash china has banned all transactions involving crypto

Daily reminder that btc price is controlled by only one thing: The Halving Mania. Btc will stabilize at 37-40k, and stay there-ish for 3 years. Then, come next halving, the peak will be between 200-300k, and the prices will stabilize at 100-150k. This will hold unless there will be a massive illegal innovation. (New kind of untracable drugs market, groundbreaking black market money making innovation like drugs were…)

yeah roght, tell that to my local retailers. i’ll have to survive until the steam deck arrives i guess

>crash

You know the stonks market is about to crash too, right?
There’s also the global chip shortage, China cuts power consumption (fewer factories working), inflation.
GPUs will never be cheaper. -
I have bad news for you:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SLThe private FED money printer going BRRRRR had the effect of strongly diluting the real value of your $.
The price didn’t go up that much.
You just became poor like someone from China. -
it’ll bounce back up one more time at least
-
Basically the greedy retailers were selling to miners and scalpers but on the other hand they provoked the actual chip factory to raise prices.
They are also freaking everyone else selling games like Sony since they won’t sell as many games when nobody even has the hardware for them. What hopefully happens is that major retailers get boycotted by everyone they fkcked over and have to liquidate. -
inflation is already in affect. tech is getting hit hard. don’t expect old GPU prices to be back. the small drop in price we had briefly 3 months ago is the bottom.

I got one for 400€ last year too
