With the latest news of a German Webshop refusing to stock up on GPU's (simply as they can't get them anymore, their suppliers/importers just cancel their order with them and deliver them to miners directly at a rate that is so staggering they can't even compete). What is there to do for PC gamers in need/want for a new GPU.
Clearly mining only cards are not the answer, as the miners keep it in mind that selling a (ab)used mining card to begging gamers is part of your R.O.I. ; selling a mining only card will not garner that same price, plain and simple. Prices are through the roof on any GPU capable of mining and delivery time is high.
What would be your solution to this problem, preferably to keep well meaning miners happy (not those that sell abused cards, but want to work with gamers on this problem so both sides can have a part of the cake)? Or just say "f*** em! One card per buyer!". As right now the tension between gaming gadget lovers and mining gadget lovers is extremely high on some tech forums. With some of the mining ones admitting they bought 90 cards or more! for their new mining farm, from some "source"; and just trolling the ones seeking one to play a game.
