    Graphic card companies need to find a way to get cards into the hands of gamers instead of continuing to allow crypto miners to sap up all the stock while creating huge shortages and ridiculously high prices.

    I've been waiting for this card for about a year. Three months ago I get an email from B&H telling me they got one in stock... for $2,299 No way I'm paying that considering the initial price for that card was $1100.

    Today I get another notice telling me the card is now discontinued

    This debacle by the graphic card vendors needs to be remedied instead of counting their bottom line while allowing crypto miner companies to run roughshod over consumers thus leaving us out in the cold.

    AMD is releasing new GPUs that are ill suitable for mining, so that should reduce the load on production and hopefully return pricing to acceptable levels.

    Yeah, NVidia tried that... miners simply found a way around it.

    To replace my 240, hopefully will reduce temps by 4-5c needed to get most out of my CPU.

    I see the new sales pitch to gamers is to simply slap "gaming" on the box and hope they'll go flying off the shelves.

    As a gamer who builds his own rigs, I own no "gaming" mouse, keyboard, monitor, or headphones. I guess I've not bought into the hype yet.
