Yeah lol last time I needed a new GPU because mine died, it was pretty much the peak of Ethereum mining. I was doing lots of freelance motion graphics work at the time and needed something beefy but all these guys were buying every high spec card that came out, in bulk, to mine ETH.
Really hoping my 3090 doesn’t suddenly burst into flames in the next few months… fingers crossed.

Planning to upgrade my I7-4790K for a while now… First the GPU shortage and now this…

Well funnily enough since graphics cards use ram…those are impacted as well. Rumors nVidia is killing off the unannounced 50 series super cards, another about AMD/nVidia stopping/slowing production of budget oriented cards, and another about AMD raising graphics cards prices 10% for next year.

Didnt AMD just announce the 10% price hike?
