Still feels post-COVID post-Biden post-Crypto high, but it's not insane pricing anymore.

is the price that much higher than it should be? I mean it seems like a pretty standard price for a 3060 no?

so the miners are not hoarding LHR cards?
does it mean 3070 3080 will be much cheaper soon?

Doubt it, LHR cards can be used to mine other altcoins quite profitably. When crypto starts another bull run I expect the market to dry up again.GammaRayFort wrote: ↑ so the miners are not hoarding LHR cards?

It's retail price so won't be going lower any time soon with the demand until newer gen cards are released. Yes it's retail price but it's more so available stock at retail price rather than buying it from scalpers.drocktapiff wrote: ↑ I've been looking to buy a 3060 ti but - should i just settle with this?

I feel like this is not a good question to ask if you're getting into mining lol. It's like investing into something without doing any research.

any current generation is good for beginners in mining. Profitable wise, depending if it's LHR by software it's a decent card for beginners trying to get into mining. As in it's not at scalper prices and good entry price to start mining and to learn. The card is probably making about $2.5 USD a day

Wouldn’t it be better to hold out for the 3060 ti at roughly the same price?
