yea the shitcoin miners have really driven up the price of graphics cards in the last few months. It's rare to find new cards for sale at or below MSRP.

The prices have actually finally started coming back down. It's now possible to find GPUs with more than 3Gb of RAM for MSRP or less again.

Once the coins crash, you'll get the cards pretty much bargain priced.

I'm kind of counting on that for my liquid-cooled Cray-2 lookalike. A Cray-2 has 7 internal lobes (or 14 external ones) and that's a lot of GPU cards.

I'll also be very happy when large cloud provider start decommissioning large volumes of previous-generation high-end Xeons.

People are telling this since mid-2017, yet, it still doesn't occur... And they also said the shortage would be ended in Q4 2018, let's wait and see...
