—Read Here— Miners and people interested in mining saw this coming. With graphics cards prices at well over double their MSRP and scalping at an all time high, miners are turning to buying prebuilt computers and gutting them of their graphics cards only to sell the rest of the parts to make their money back.
“In order to prevent scalpers and crypto miners from immediately depleting the entire GPU stock, online retailers are enforcing special deals that bundle one graphics card together with other PC components like a processor, motherboard and SSD,” wrote Bogdon Solca from Notebook Check, “The problem with such policies is that they also make it harder for the average consumer to obtain the GPUs at decent prices. Even if the GPU is somehow priced close to MSRP, the consumer still needs to pay for the bundled PC component in addition.
