This is becoming stupid anyway you look at or into, something will happen this year, nvidia or amd could kill gpu mining if they want, asics manufactures can kill gpu mining anytime. People could kill gpu mining with stupidity, there are many ways gpu mining can be killed this year. Trust me I'm worried and you should do.

Ok, dad. Good talk. Yeah this thread is becoming stupid, because you keep posting non-sense without anything to back it up. And then you start spinning your wheels again. And then you cry and say something else that doesn't make sense.

I'll begin worrying when there is a legit reason to worry about my own mining farm and right now, there is no reason. I don't give a fuck what an idiot who buys a overpriced gpu is doing. That's his bad judgement and lose in the end, if it doesn't work out.

Yep Nvidia and AMD could kill mining this year ... If they both go out of business. Do you think they will just shut their doors, because they have an opinion on a specific large group of people who are buying their products? NOPE! Shareholders won't allow that. Do you think the board of directors at Nvidia gives a fuck where the money is coming from? They don't. They care that it is flowing in and that is their only concern. Do you know anything about how big business works? NOPE ... You don't. It's just you and your thoughts in your padded room with your tin foil hat spewing little bits of garbage that most people will never see.

I honestly do feel sorry for you. Your life must be total shit. But you shouldn't give up. Keep on fighting the good fight. I've had family members go through the same sort of medial conditions that you are probably going through. If you are strong enough, you won't hurt yourself. Remember ... There is help out there. You are not alone, Metroid. In case you need it, here's the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in the United States ... 1-800-273-8255. If you are outside of the USA, all you have to do is google it. We care about you, buddy.

You're more full of it than the OP, Nvidia just contacted every store on the planet and told them not to sell GPUs to miners. So yes nvidia does care where the money comes from. With Jews you always lose.

LOL, I just placed an order with a big computer retailer here in the UK for another batch of 16 GPU's at very competitive price, in fact they advertise on the web 1 gpu per person, when I called and talked to sales rep, told them I needed 16 gpu for a mining rig he immediately took my payment and process my order.

All of that NVIDIA nonsense its just PR to please the media. at the end NVIDIA/AMD can not police end customer retail sales and as someone explained before, all shareholders care is liquidity (GPU sales) and not some salty gamer/miner whining about high gpu prices.

Exactly. Perhaps the core of the company cares about it. But large shareholders outside of that very small core simply do not give a shit about anything other than the numbers. They became a large shareholder, because they expect that number to increase. And to the guy who said "You Always Lose With Jews" ... Lol ... Jewish businessmen are some of the greediest bastards I've met in my life. And I don't mean that in a bad way, I have nothing against Jewish people, but there is a certain level of greed that they have.

And then down the line to retailers. There is just no way for NVIDIA or AMD to enforce it. Just as you've outlined in your experience ... Call them up and tell them what you want. No problem, if they have that quantity in stock. It's cheaper for them to sell 16 to one person then it is to sell 16 to 16 people.

I also believe it to be a PR move to satisfy the gaming community. Large retailers aren't really price gouging either. I think it's less about high prices and more about stock at reasonable prices.

The poster above may have been able to smooth talk his way into a rig full of nvidia GPUs I wasn't so lucky, the sales clerk ran off and told his manager I wanted a batch of those cards. When he came back he told me to fuck off even though they didn't advertise a limit. I had to get amd rx550's with shitty fans.
