I think you are doing fine. Most Slovaks can't afford to do what you are doing. World is going into recession and you are helping (nothing against you) by being an accomplice.
Once (if ever) GPU mining is over, all these GPU companies are going to backpedal. (nothing to do with recession)

shortage will last as long as Eth can be mined with GPU and price stays high. After that, it will be 2017 all over again on used GPU market but 10 times worse for nvidia. Then the shortages and price of raw materials will suddenly be in the past, prices will (depends on the amount of USD printed and handed out) stabilize.

PS. 1070Ti is still good for me, but I understand why you did what you did.

PPS. To clarify, in 2016/7 (or maybe it was 2017/8, I can't remember precisely) people were buying used rx580 8gb (usually XFX) for under a 100 eur while they were over 280 eur (even over 300) in stores still.

any 10th Series nVidia GPU is perfect to have in this situation. No reason to be upgrading. If I was in your shoes I would hold on to it too, it was just that I didn't have any GPU ;D

I really have high hopes from Intel entering the GPU battleground. That was due long time ago and I wish Intel all the best, hope they will fuck both nVidia and AMD over and put them out of business. Seems that the timing is good for them, especially if the shortage should end around mid 2022.

It's right timing for them because people are desperate for GPUs and Intel WILL overcharge them too!
They are a company out to make money not friends Smile

but let's hope you are right and not me.
