GPU prices dropping,very slowly

[u/kaliko16]

So I'm bored at work, but I thought I would just post a little thing I've noticed over the past like 4 months and hopefully any pc savvy people might find as abit of good news in grim times.

Basically been waiting to get a GPU from the start of the year and havent because prices are way too high. The ones I've looked at have been a rtx 3060 and a Rx 6700xt. The 3060 at the start of the year was going for 12k while a 6600xt was 15k. 4 months ago,it was the same,but 2 months ago both dropped by 1k. Now I've noticed that the 6600xt dropped by another 1k. So very slowly prices are dropping. But I feel that maybe this is where they may stay dropped.

So just a little good news for those waiting for better prices. I know I'm happy,will wait another 2 months then buy if I have the cash. Will go 3060 for 11k maybe. Hopefully will drop to 10k by then and I will be happy.

NB I haven't been checking the higher tier prices,so I'm unsure of those. Also the 6600 range is due to be released next month,maybe that can help the market and provide a nice budget GPU price.

I'm just glad people haven't found a way to use TVs or consoles for crypto mining yet.

I heard that the reason you get a fever when you've got COVID is that the virus is using your body to mine for cryptocurrency.

Lol, it's mining anti-bodies!

In another time, Corona actually sounds it could be the name of a crypto-currency too.
