Why all the graphics cards are out of stock?

[sarfraz]

I was checking on amazon and there is hardly any gpu that is available for its price. Why is it so?

Hmm. You answered it well.

Because for some reason there are new crypto currencies that are profitable again.

Last time I check it was around 1,2€ per day profit from GTX 1070, and now I see it climbed back to almost 8€ per day with single GTX 1070 GPU.

 

I'm just waiting for countries to start blocking and making use of those currencies illegal, then we can finally go back to normal GPU stock and prices.

sigh, this is VERY old news that you should be well aware of at this point. This has been an on-going issue for nearly the past year.. its nothing new and has been beaten to the head about 1,000 times. Quick search would have revealed this as I am sure there were several other threads about this in the past week or 2 as well.

go find a graphics card on amazon... from what i see there is almost ALWAYS a good deal on every Nvidia graphics card there. even 1070's. AMD on the other hand... not so much.

wrong. Nvidia cards are affected just as much as AMD cards these days.
