We don't know, nor CAN we know. We just have to wait and hope the roller coaster stops. it could be a month, or it could be 6 months. It could also theoretically be literally forever. We have no idea. Anyone who says that they do is lying. Everyone said that price of ethereum would fall at the end of July and prices would normalise by end of August. Look how that prediction turned out.

This could just be the new normal, which really sucks.

Nah, ETH peaked hard last month and GPU's are becoming unsable anyways.  Check your local classfields, there will be miners DUMPING the 3gb 1060s and 4 GB RX cards

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Its really weird, the  west coast is supposedly terrible for used  but you guys are right near all the distribution centers, I would try going directly to warehouses for old  overstock

Nah not 3gb ones. The miner needs 4gb to run smoothly

Oh well they have to have been inexperienced to get a 3gb anyways at the start of it. Although 90 percent of the people who joined are

Are you sure? Prices went from $150 up to $300 which is almost as high as it was as the peak...
