FUCKING

FUCKING

MIINNNNEERRRRRRSSSSSSSSS

cant wait until they all get btfo

Wow, IRL computer shops still exist?

Amusing how loser Sup Forumsirgins are getting TRIGGERED like mad SJWs lmao

what is microcenter

Day of the pop when?

Since I love in a small town maybe the local best buy still has graphics cards. Maybe I should check.

Gonna laugh so hard when the cryptomarket crashes.

on the bright side when the bubble bursts you'll see 1080s and shit for $200

...

i want it to happen so bad

i want it to all be some hilarious joke played by some billionaire brat who pulls all his money out and devalues it to nothing over night

I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN

They don't have to. It's a Ponzi scheme. It will crash on its own eventually.

Well... from the bright side
Gamming and the addiction is over

If you live in Winnipeg there are two of these babies in stock!

i'll pop you whenever you want, bb ;)

>ponzi schemes always crash on their own eventually

Never been to Frys?

I took a look at my local Frys. RX 560s were 200 USD and 1050s were 159.99. Truly terrifying.

dat nvidia stock tho

That would be gold. I got a good feeling it's going to be early this year, don't worry. I'm going to be drowning in tears of laughter when it happens.

JUST

When I got my first real job with a steady paycheck, I started to invest in stocks. My old man told me "invest in what you know" so I invested in technology companies.
I bought 10 shares of NVidia at $35, then bought a bunch of AT&T stock since it offered better dividends.

I wish I had bought more NVidia instead.

Diversification user. you were not wrong for it.

I don't think there's a Fry's within 200 miles of me.

investing in 2 chip companies isn't diversification

>tfw got a 1070 quicksilver off a friend for $365 today

easily $100+ off the cheapest i found on CL

When the bobble burst Im going for a quad crossfire.
I got two (2) 1200W Gold PSUs on stand by.

>AT&T
>chip company

....Ok

What was the best year to buy gpu cards?

when nvidia 8000 series came out.

I still have that NVidia stock, plus a little more from my dividend reinvestment plan.
My AT&T stock has multiplied because it's at like 5% dividends.

I have other small investments with DRIPs, all of it in tech.

I think he meant "blue chip", not processor chip.

These technologies really aren't going anywhere. Lucky for you the future is ASIC.

nocoiner detected

>GPUs get renamed to dedicated ASIC miner cards
huh

It was either that or when the Radeon 5000 series came out. The price performance of the 57xx cards were really good.

2006

>says increasingly nervous man for 20th time this year

You fell for a pyramid scheme, idiot. You're a shiteater, and name calling those who don't eat shit as "noshiteaters" only gives you some reassurance, but doesn't change your sorry condition.

>mining coins
>not just buying and investing
LMAO'ing @urlief

crash wont affect this. GPU companies need to increase supply of miner centric gpus. crypto will never go away. the best hope is for cryptocurrency to switch to proof of stake

Hypothetically, if I were to see someone with a cart literally full of GPUs and they took the last one, could you get in any trouble for taking one out of their cart? Stores don't visibly display an ELUA or ToS that restricts me from doing so and outlines a ramification. And technically I'm not stealing from the person since he doesn't own the products yet as he hasn't paid for them.

Why don't AMD and Nvidiot just produce more graphics cards?

Can't they make like a bios switch or bios setting that has to be enabled to mine buttcoins that voids the warranty to prevent fraudulent RMA and tsunami of graphics cards on ebay when the bubble pops?

Nearest one's a 7h round trip, about the same for the nearest Microcenter

>Why don't AMD and Nvidiot just produce more graphics cards?
>GPU companies need to increase supply of miner centric gpus

They can't keep up with demand because of professional miners that run thousands and thousands of these rigs in warehouses.
Retailers need to shut this shit down.

I was planning on buying a new graphics card, but I can't now. It's out of stock fucking everywhere and resellers are wanting 4x the original cost.

If i saw a man with a shopping cart full of GPUs, i'd get banned from the store and probably thrown in jail for beating their ass like a Cherokee drum.

2016

The problem is that stores don't want to buy too many because if there is a crash (It won't last forever), they will not buy anymore cards, or atlas not yet, and stores will have a bunch of unwanted hardware sitting on shelves, or in warehouses.

pro tip: just buy it and mine your money back

Who the fuck pays this much for a goddamn GPU
A 8800GTX was like 300€

Nvidia and amd are producing as many cards as they can. This mining cash cow won't last forever. People are buying them in bulk, and supply can't keep up.

They already made a no return policy if you mine buttcoins. They don't need a bios setting. It's like comparing a smoker's lung to a normal lung. It is quite obvious if you are using a card to play video games, or mining.

>mfw have 6 BTC and didn't mine them
>bought them back when they were around $80 a piece
>used to have 10 but I cashed in 4 when they hit $10k
Suck my fucking dick, nocoiners.

I’ve been wanting to build my own PC for awhile now but the more I looking into it the price just keeps jumping

prove it, lets see your wallet

it will burst soon. memecoins are so detached from reality even just one coin would be enough to start it

anyone want to buy 2x fury nitros?

>paid $80 for one BTC
Newfag

friendly reminder the crypto bubble will never burst because nobody will want to be left hodling bags

>not using the entirety of your christmas money (roughly $600) 7 years ago when you were in middle school to buy them
Suck my fucking dick, coinlet

>being white enough where you get $6k in christmas money

>mfw bought energy drinks from a computer retail store a couple of years back with Bitcoin and I could've bought Threadripper with Quad SLI TitanXP Pascal today if I didn't waste them on some energy dranks

>being brown enough you can't count zeros

>holding on to them
pic related, you in six months

can't wait when their electricity bills are up

>what is hyperdeflation

i think i saw that in a porno once.

that chicks pussy was CRAAAAAYYYYYYYY

Yesterday i read someone was actually buying up power plants in siberia for future cryptoshit mining

A bunch of fucking POWER PLANTS jesus

This planet needs a reset i'm telling you

I hope that after all this is over, instead of throwing the GPUs away, they instead repurpose their GPU datacenters as a cloud computing services so people like me can use them as 3D render farms.

you need to go back to /biz/ and kill yourself when the next wave of pink wojack threads hit

I have a question. Is the Zimbabwean dollar beyond recovery? What if I bought $20 USD of ZBD, is there even the slightest chance I could get rich if they ever got their shit together?

this is why it will never work as a currency

Just buy the entire desktop and sell on the parts you don't need.

>Is the Zimbabwean dollar beyond recovery?
It was abandoned and demonetized 2-3 years ago

So what exactly happened that prices suddenly exploded in the last few days? Did supply completely dry up?

>brick and mortar
>in 2018
u wot

Oh hey is that the micro center on 14 mile road in Michigan? I used to work there as a service tech.

soon miners will be snatching up prebuilts as well

Most Microcenters must look similar on the inside because this resembles one not in Michigan

I think it has to do with currencies that run on Equihash (Nvidia cards perform much better on this than AMD cards) becoming popular, due to the spike in prices of coins like Zcash and Zclassic. A few days/weeks ago Zclassic went from being around $6 a coin to $200 in the time span of a few days.

Ethereum is becoming unprofitable to mine due to increasing difficulty, and now people are looking else where.
I managed to snag two GTX 1060's for $240 a pop for my mining rig before the prices took off.

>friendly reminder the housing bubble will never burst because nobody will want to be left holding bags

The housing bubble burst due to sub-prime lending. It was the real estate equivalent of scam coins and sham ICOs.

Except the crypto market is deregulated. It isn't under the same heavy-handed statist regulations that provoked the housing crisis. Don't you know all economic problems are caused by government interference, or have you never studied economics?

shouldve got the Sapphire RX 480 when i had the chance. this garbage ASUS ROG RX 470 is trash

What if buttcoins are a conspiracy by GPU companies to sell more GPUs?

market manipulation performed by distributed botnet

Good bait, sadly I am certain some people will believe that laws stopping securities fraud caused the housing crisis.

I think he was being sarcastic, as it was de-regulation that allowed the banks to start hedge trading.

Sup Forums is this weird conglomeration of Sup Forums and /biz/ alongside pro/g/ramming Sup Forumsrunts and NEETs

its a conspiracy by sony and xbox so youll buy their shitty $200 30 fps machine instead of a nice $400 card

so they are not going to be worth buying even if they sell for very cheap later on second hand?

Poor volta

>Retailers need to shut this shit down.
Why on earth would they? They're selling out of products that are marked up 300% from original MSRP.

miners are already buying land in colder regions of the world because they save money cooling, such as greenland and northern regions of canada.

this
and I only ever go there to try out different mechanical keys
the prebuilts are laughable

Flash the rx 480 bios onto it, might unlock some shaders on your rx 470.

Depends what you use them for. I still play video games, so yes, they hold value to me. If I could get a 1080i new for $400 right now, I'd jump on it.

And why the fuck would you buy second hand? Buying a gpu that used to mine buttcoins is like buying a second hand government vehicle. Sure, it's new, sure it looks nice, but it's been driven like it was stolen it's entire life.

if you just play videa at 1080p there's really no reason to go much higher than a 470 or 1060

too scared to try that shit. dont wanna brick then have to pay $1000 for a new card

...

>Not understanding inflationary vs deflationary models of currency

The market will crash but hyperinflation won't be the reason, shitter
