I can't believe the inflated prices for GPUs today.

The idea is kind of that the profits are bigger than the cost of the card+electricity... if it's not then you dont mine, that's why you dont mine BTC with gpu's

@MK-Professor: I care because mining affected GPU prices. I was good because I got my 1060 when it was on MSRP. Right now, 3rd party retailers sell them at least twice as much. And if you go to the board partner's website, they're always out of stock. So yeah, mining definitely affected the PC gaming hardware market, and bad too.

Again the solution is to stop complaining and start mining.

This way not only help the gamers to get the money back from the inflated prices, but it also increase the mining difficulty as a result making mining less profitable. And if mining became less profitable miners with stop buying gpu's.

I mean, just imagine if EVERY pc gamer start mining today with whatever hardware they have, this will wreak havoc to the miners while watching helplessly their profits crashing to the ground.

@MK-Professor: Okay, I get you. I do. Problem is, there are some people with proper hardware who wouldn't break even with mining, like some on EU. So that's why I think some people do not mine. I for one don't mine because I wouldn't want my hardware to get stressed even more, and as I've said, I make enough money.

I just hope that whatever's happening, the GPU and RAM prices go down to an acceptable level, especially since the new gen of GPUs are nearing their release.

@howmakewood: idk how many cards u need to get a profit. Im guessing its at least 10 to cover electricity. Also, not everyone wants to go through that hassle

I've made research even though I won't mine. ROI is usually 3 months on most cards, including the electricity bills.

I hope the crypto currency scam fails hard

Yeah, I'm due for an upgrade... on a 780 and 2500k, but GPU prices are keeping me from doing so.
