I don't agree at all from the viewpoint of small mining ie under 100 cards. none of us can get them.
I have worked hard for months to get them and only have 3 so far. I also paid a premium for each evga that I got.
Now connected miners maybe able to get them. Or the amd 5700xt
I had an opportunity to get a 3080 where I live for $885 and I decided not to because I still think $885 for it is overpriced and if I had bought then the shop would see I bought and increase the price even further, after few hours somebody else bought it, this is the free market, however the mentality of "If I don't buy it others might and then I might have to wait months to buy it again" makes people to buy overpriced products. I'm okay with my gtx 1070 8gb at moment, the card would be only for 4k gaming, for now I'm happy to play games on 4k and lower settings.
