GPU rant

[DUDE!@##$%%]

Jissis its *** these days when all you want to do is buy a relatively cheap GPU with good enough performance so that you dont have to play *** CS:GO everyday because your PC cant run battlefield/Rust/PUBG or anything but every *****ing online shop is out of stock or playing the massive markup because for some reason every noob in SA decided they wanted to start a kimberley mine in their garage with 50x gpus. The prices are all jacked up, the stock is gone and anything second hand is way too risky as its probably been abused more than social grants in south africa.

Makes sense. But there are decent cards available if you know where to look or who to talk to. What are you looking for? Budget?

I was hoping for something like an RX570 or RX470 depending on prices

How much are you willing to pay for a 470? Hasn't been used for mining.

Just go onto the crypto mining thread and ask anyone there if they're tired of stuffing around mining sillycoins for 20 US cents a day and a R1k electricity bill
