Poor availability and no word from AMD about countermeasures against mining. If you can't produce more cards at least copy Nvidia and do a BIOS/Driver level ban on mining.

I think they already solved this by splitting the architecture into RDNA and CDNA branches.

You know things are really bad in the GPU space when you keep hoping Intel could release a card to compete with AMD and Nvidia in a particular segment. (wishful thinking) The GPU market is nothing short of ridiculous right now. AMD keeps taunting folks with article about products they cannot obtain. Do people still believe AMD or Nvidia for that matter, care about their individual private sale? These companies have one thing in mind...selling as much stock as they can to an assured buyer. If they have the option to ship pallets of these things to a mining farm versus selling a few hundred to Newegg, guess who will get the stock. This is not going to get any better anytime soon. These will probably be sold in a few seconds after launch...again.
