Hey guys!

A lot of gamers have been caught off guard by the latest happenings in the world of cryptocurrency mostly because of radically altered graphics card prices. I won't be surprised if this isn't the last time cryptocurrencies cause a shortage of gaming GPUs...

Do you agree with this?

Seems normal. Technology progresses, and mining being easier to do, especially with more support and performance for a cheaper price tag. Luckily, it seems like GPU's are slowly coming back in stock, but bots are still buying out the stock. IIRC, 580's are shipping at the end of August, or it may have been the 1070...

Its a partially free market. Mining with GPUs is only really good for ETH mining. 470s and 480s are perfect cards for mining ETH.

Also I disagree.

Well considering that gamers are the lowest tier computer users, I support mining crypto.

Lol you silly twat, its good for gamers, look up all the old used GPUs that are selling for 20% of their original value on ebay because they're no longer relevant to bitcoin mining, most of those GPUs are high end and could ran most games.
