Today a ton of mining GPUS have been dumped on my local craigslist. Still at crappy prices. I praying they drop down and I can snag up 2 reference RX 480 8GB for now. Sad reality of GPUs today.

Or... Could be a clever and subtle way showing interest of entering the market, following Asrock. 😛 [SPOILER]And with all those gpu's that they "may" acquire, would surely help them entering sooner with a boost too... 😀[/SPOILER]

could be, no doubt. That's a big market. Maybe it requires more investments than just putting your logo on the product bought from China in bulk? idk.

Corsair team is sly: having a big-eyed, red-hot lass, caressing a video card...man, that made me giggle. Nice gal, I would "donate " her some of my bit-loins.

This would have been perfect if it was about 48-72 hours later. 😉

Keep in mind though that those GPUs were actually abused quite a bit, so unless it's a super bargain price I wouldn't risk it, since they might break down soon after purchase... 😱 But yes, cryptocurrency is at a new low right about now, if it goes much lower a lot more miners might drop the towel and call it a day.

Or even worse... They might start gaming on them after all that abusive mining.. 😱 Oh poor gpus. Like they havent suffered enough already..:(

Yeah, GPUs are abused even more there. Think of running them when the ambient temp is already 40C.

I have a R9 Fury as my main card, so I did buy 2 cheap RX 480 8GBs that were mined on, Im not out of a gpu. I wont be selling my Fury. It will go on the wall or be on display. And I have also seen a few mining rigs of $3-$6k as well posted up in the last 24 hours.
