Unfortunately i agree with you on this... I wish it wasn't so.Bots and scalpers could do some lasting damage with all of this that may be felt as much as a few years down the line.
The fact that a 3070 even from retailers is now going for #750 is ludicrous, Retailers may get profit in the short term but long term this is damaging.
I second this, In a ideal world with no bots and scalpers things would be much better. Some people but not all will do funny things for money.Unfortunately i agree with you on this... I wish it wasn't so.
Possibly. The scalpers don't care though. I look at the overpriced Ebay listings sometimes and the person selling cards almost always has a feedback history full of things like games consoles and trainers too (also scalped, naturally). They're just opportunists jumping on the latest money-making bandwagon. They don't and won't really care if they destroy the PC hardware market, as they'll just move on to the next hot item.Bots and scalpers could do some lasting damage with all of this that may be felt as much as a few years down the line.

Aslong as there are buyers, these people will continue to scalp.Yeah but who is paying £900?
Miners or desperate folk.

It might lead to permanent price increases, so the price creeps upwards, and when there is stock, it'll all be at the higher rate.

That is what i was thinking too , all i want is a 2060 super or a 3060 as an upgrade for my rx580 , been searching for weeks really want to play cyberpunk with the raytracing on.
cyberpunk with raytracing on? ... can you really run that with a 2060s or a 3060? I know with amd it was recently suggested dont even bother even with a 6900xt.
But at what stage do people knock PC gaming on the head and move over to consoles which can game at 4k right now? For me the drawback of consoles is A) No ultrawide support B) PC game backlog. Luckily I got a 6700 XT from Overclockers voucher system so I'm good for a couple of years at least
Mining, New Consoles and covid has put demand for the 7nm node through the roof. It's just how long mining on GPUs is a factor and how GPU manufacturers react to this. IF AMD, Nvidia and Intel double or trebble the amount of GPUs on the market normalsy will return.
Doesn't matter, someone is... the market is there as they are still being sold at this price.
Suppose people have more money than sense.
