What the hell happened to the 1070 prices on Amazon?

I swear a couple months ago I saw a 1070 FTW edition for like 425 dollars now they're 675 dollars. What happened and will the prices go back down?

The jews did this.

Bitcoin newfags

idiots are mining crypto with them

Fuck really? I thought that was a meme. God damn Jews taking my money and mining more money.

miners for muh cryptocurrency.

I thought Nvidia cards were useless for mining, what changed?

Peeps falling for the biz memes

OP here. So what should I get as a replacement? Preferably Amazon

the price for amd ones gone through the roof
RX580 are out of stock
i could sell my used R9 390 with a bit of luck for over 100€ more than i bought it back in march

New coins and miners.

It's Ethereum not Bitcoin, newfag. You can't really make profit mining Bitcoin with GPU anymore because of ASICs. There are no ETH ASICs, and coin is stable and has good value, which is why we see those prices.

Nothing. Wait for prices to go down if you can. 1050 price is not fucked up because no one mines with those.

You can't make a profit on anything it's pump and dump. Also yes people are still trying to mine btc, if they knew anything about crypto they wouldn't be using an Nvidia card.

Did I fuck up?

Not really, I got a 1080 for 400 new at best buy.

yes, you should wait for vega

>EVGA

Lol. How the hell did you manage that? I have a founders 1080 in my rig right now I'll be returning when the EVGA card comes. But it was like $550 + ass rape tax = $600 out the door. Luckily they accept opened packaging.

But it doesn't even out perform a 1080 and is more of a workstation card.
>muh drivers
It won't out perform a 1080 even with more optimization.

my 1050ti doesn't have this problem

I should mention I also bought my founders 1080 at best buy, which is why it was relevant to me mentioning that.

it doesn't draw much power though (75w)

Cards are currently sold in huge batches.

I work part time in a store and we have daily calls and customers from eastern europe comming in trying to buy even more and these commies still try to haggle the price.

Would not Volta's tensor cores help with this muh cryptocurrency shit.

I went to a local best buy (in NYC) and priced matched it. I haggled with the manager and got it down to $400 USD.

Where the hell would it have been listed at 400 for you to haggle it down to that though? I mean I've seen some around the newly recommended 499 MSRP that Nvidia came out with after the 1080 ti dropped but even those are rare.

I used a ebay listing and talked to the manager.
(Good social skills) It was a best buy on 14 st NYC.

>Mining
>With a 1070
>With any Nvidia card
What the actual fuck?

Price match is god tier my man.

Retards jumped on the wagon too late. Their money is squandered. The only ones who made any profit on this shit were the ones that started mining two fucking years ago, just like any good pyramid scheme.

Difficulty just doubled too, kek.

You're thinking of bitcoins. There's nothing wrong with ethereum mining with nVidia cards. They're more expensive than AMD cards obviously, but there's nothing wrong with them. The 1070 can mine better than anything AMD has right now.

buy rig 6x 1070 fag, be rich in 1 month, trust me

>got a Best Buy to price match an ebay listing
No.

Lol yes, its called haggling.

>mfw my GPU died today and cant buy a decent priced GPU because of stupid miners

>mfw i have to use a 7600GT until the shit gets unfucked

This must only work in Jew York.

ill sell you a strix rx470 for 200

t. nVidia salesman

Where are you from, you can try it at your local best buy.

top kek

Nah it is true, but Zcash is more nvidia forte.
But cards with good coolers are important so that they do not drop the performance on their 24/7 workload.

You only have a freaking 8.875% taxrate?
Here we get ripped of by 19%.

>mfw
>My Face When
>Shoes

>mfw summer fuccboi doesn't know what mfw means
LOL OK.

are you stupid

mfw means my footwear when

Dam son, where do you live? I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world and 8.875% is high af.

I'm tempted to sell my RX480 now and go back to my 7870 while I wait for prices to drop on something better or wait for Vega.

Oh shi-

I stand corrected

Sell it now, I sold my 480 and upgraded to a 1080. Depending on the card you have, you can get about $250 -$450 for the card used.

>Mid/high-range GPU
>900 dollarydoos
ARE YOU HAPPY ETHERITARDS? IT'S NEVER GOING TO RETURN ON ITS COSTS YOU IDIOTS!

>taking my money
But you didn't buy a gpu.
>mining more money
They aren't really turning a profit.

Slavs are glorified kikes

...

...

9.25% here, but no income tax and other rates are pretty low

am I retarded for getting myself 970 instead?

where the fuck have you been for the past 3-4 months

mfw it's 19% where I live and my country is poor af

I got a little headless computer that's on 24/7 that I wanna do some cool vulkan/cuda programming for.

I wanna get some 1030s since they're shit cheap but the 1050s also look great since they have almost twice as much cuda cores but are also like 140$ or something

I just want some cuda man

>idiots
>literally printing money
lol wagecucks amirite

Just clarify, you can't use ASICS for ethereum based coins, because the ethereum miner lives in a VM stored in the RAM... Two things ASICs are not very good with...

are we gonna have to start busting some chink kneecaps to get stock back up or what?

Think it's expensive now? Wait until Vega turns out to be shit.

You're not going to get a profit if you buy expensive GPUs and start mining now because the difficulty has increased and you'll end up spending even more on power for that rig of GPUs.

we all do, buddy

Luckily I got mine before all the bullshit

depending on the value, you can get a gross revenue of up to $3 a day with a 1070.

...

Neither does my EVGA 980Ti Classified. Hell, half the time it doesn't even get hot enough for its fan to turn on. It's a top notch card

I bought a used Fury off ebay a year ago for 220€.

I could sell it for over 300€ now.

Should I do it in the hope RX Vega will deliver?

>they knew anything about crypto they wouldn't be using an Nvidia card.
No longer true after Maxwell as LOP3.LUT is a cryptofag's dream instruction

Sure, but don't buy Vega right away though. You should wait a few months to see how the drivers turn out.

I'm wondering this too. Also considering a 960 and RX 460/560.

And in the meantime, miners will clear them out hoping they'll be as good as 480s/580s. There's no winning.

WHAT is the BEST way to sell my 1070 FTW to coinfags senpaitachi?

>mfw imagining when miners realize they can't turn a profit with this buisness model

Getting a bunch of s9 miner for buttcoin is more profitable than these gpu eth mining dispite being tougher to mine. These fugs hopes to repeat the same thing by mine and stockade hoping to cash in big some day.

Sell it to me for msrp fampai

add "mining" and "miner" to your tags

Go back

that was some sort of joke
because for about a week now faggots over here are hocking their shit with those keywords

didn't difficulty doubled recently?
is nightmare over?
or Vega will be the only option for mid range GPU this summer?

HBM2, can't mine with it, so yes

Lol I did. Bought over 25 bitcoins in 2014. Forgot about the account until couple days ago.

that's a relief

Literally this.
Also, anyone who's buying GPUs now to get started is a retard. Difficulty is now batshit insane and will only continue to rise as GPUs start shipping. It's now more than twice as hard to earn as the month before. With proof of stake getting closer and closer, don't even think about ROI.

Meant to tag but whatever

This. The fun times are over for miners.

I see these sentiments every time the price drops to around $250.

Then once it hits $300 again everyone shits their pants trying to scramble together a rig.
