It's mental, you would think people would go for the older cheaper quadro cards has they're made for this kinda thing, then again I know when it comes to crunching numbers/rendering AMD have always come out on top... crypo mining is killing the Pc gaming community, I mean my GTX 1070 was £400 it's now £700!! WTF lol.

I saw a photo yesterday, someone bought like 30 1080s, they were all stacked up, ready for crypto mining.

Makes me wish this whole crypto thing bursts just so he's left with $30k worth of useless cards, lol
