It was a crazy time GPU's were selling out due to miners... what did AMD do? They raised price.... and it still ran out for a while till it all kinda crashed.
This time with ETH is nothing like last time as far as effects on GPU sales. Just not the running out of cards as we saw long ago in the "old days".
This time, the price also rose. I bough at few nano at £379, a week later the price became £425. So it happened this time.
