RE: To NVidia Miners Thinking of Building a Rig, It's Time to Shit or Get Off The Pot! 💩
Classic supply and demand at work. Mining is literally the best thing ever to happen to AMD/NVIDIA. These companies have literally multiplied their stock because of demand from mining.
However, as a miner, the competition for GPUs can be very annoying. It's difficult to find anything anywhere. My first build, a 6x1060, took a month to put together because I couldn't find anything locally. I had to take a risk and order out of the country! I also ended up paying slightly more because I bought 3 fan 1060s instead of 1-2 fans. Sure, the rig is VERY quiet. However, it wasn't worth the price increase.
Great post btw, ALWAYS pull the trigger. This market moves fast. Everything could be gone off the shelves tomorrow and back the day after tomorrow.
Oddly enough at the end of the day the cards I order and should be on their way from the other side of the country (the side closer to China) are the best ones possible for the absolute cheapest price online. These are the prices from a few weeks ago.
Sounds like you still made out well despite your situation!
Now I just have to stay lucky and make my money back mining over the next few months. It would be a shame not to try out some VR games too with all this top of the line gaming gear.
