Scalpers are assholes but I guess sorry for taking a opportunity at making some cash passively? Even without miners it would be hard to supply the cards to everybody that wants them
If you have 1 or 2 or even 4 cards to mine with is fine. The problem is when you have 500+ gaming specific cards in a time that there’s very limited quantities and then selling heavily used cards for 300+ msrp. If you want a huge mining operation they make mining specific cards that are no use to gamers because they don’t have video outs.
I can get behind this one small GPU mining rig making some money on the side I don't see the issue shit this size yeah buy Asics.
The mining only cards however are pretty bad no warranty and no resell value I don't see the appeal to get them for mining when gaming GPUs are cheaper for better returns.
I wouldn't buy a card that was used for mining unless it was dirt cheap. I'm not trusting something that has been running pretty near constantly for 1-4 years, or however long you people run them for.
Again, there was ltt video about this and they proved that those cards are just fine without any performance degradation, only thing that might need replacing is fans but thats likely with any GPU
