you will have to wait a while, not sure exactly, whenever the mining bubble bursts.

Has this mining thing happened before? if so how many months later did it end?

and btw 980ti (used) is over $500 in Australia

This is on preorder so you can lock in the price

There are no 480/580/1060 under AU$300 in Australia (not any new ones anyway)

 

I'm not an Aussie or in Australia

Last month it was under $300

try to get a used 980Ti, if you can't just wait for bitcoin and ethereum to die again

[TheUzu]

Wonder if the person that had a load of ETherium sold it all to try to save gamers.

 

?

Has this happened before? If so, did it end the next year?! 

[TheUzu]

If it does the people who maxed out 20 credit cards to buy 480s and 580s are gunna be living in the streets.

 

Theyll be people out there that took out all the finance they could thinking get rich quick because of something they saw on that there internet.

 

they'll be the ones paying $500 for 580s, they're the same people that try to scalp tickets.

 

Id say the resurgence has a few months at most left, the price of bitcoin and ETH is like the DOW in 1999, too bullish.

Either save up more or wait for prices to drop.

If you need to buy now, what you'll find are RX 560 and 1050/Ti's, none of which are worth $300+

There's this RX 470 you can preorder if you willing to wait for stock to arrive.

 

You can ignore all the shitlords telling you look for a used something something, making it sound easy but not even offering a link or tangible solution

craigslist or whatever they have in your area. ebay works fine. Here is the general tier for GPUs in that range 390x>980=580 8G>1060 6G>390=290x

please don't SWITCH to console. (i am sorry for the pun)

If they run out of 1070s will they buy my 1080tis for £1500 each?

 

I could game on my POS laptop till Volta.

 

Also why are people taking the risk the ROI on these things are like 50-90 days.
