It has been almost a week since NVIDIA's most anticipated GPU officially saw the light in stores and as such, users went hunting for one of these models. However, and knowing that the price set by the company for the basic models that make the Founders Edition is $ 329, what hit the stores is a complete joke. Why are there exorbitant prices there is no stock of the RTX 3060?
The first graphics card to be capable of mining is already among us and it came with a package of minority measures for mining that foreshadowed that, at last, it would be a GPU that would reach gamers and not miners as such, but what about this is true?
Russian users reveal that the stock of RTX 3060 has finished again in the miners
Very little or practically nothing has lasted the joy to NVIDIA and its measurements. For some reason that is still unknown, miners are to blame for the RTX 3060 being out of stock and most of all for the prices being nearly double their MSRP even before it is released.
The story is simple and at the same time very problematic: retailers and many wholesalers fail to send cards to stores, they sell them directly to miners at a much higher price, thus making much more money.
Therefore, the prices that were leaked days before the sale were exorbitant and the announcement of the availability in these retailers and wholesalers had more to do with an external facelift than anything else. From Russia, this plot is well directed by groups of miners from all over the world, where the user Jan Sheles reached the end of the matter, being one of those who has revealed what we all knew.
Cards do not hit the shelves, all stock is sold before launch
Miners have little to worry about the fact that NVIDIA has harnessed the performance of its RTX 3060 GPUs to mine Ethereum with a loss of almost 50% of Hash. And it is that what was revealed by Sheles after several jumps with external DNS and in several retailers shows how it reached an agreement with several providers even before the official sale of the cards.
The price that he managed to agree on was 61,999 rubles ( 691 euros ), where, as a kind of internal bid, this figure was reached based on an already very high price: 45,999 rubles, 513 euros at the exchange rate.
Therefore, and as apparently some have already managed to overcome the limitations of NVIDIA, users never had the option to buy an existing model of these GPUs, since again the miners wiped out the stock by paying huge surcharges for the fever of the cryptocurrencies.
The wholesalers and retailers who received units have filled their pockets by the handful (we understand that not all, but ...) the users have returned to remain with the face of few friends, NVIDIA has not managed to stop the avalanche and has shown a total lack of control as has happened to AMD and worst of all is that there is no easy and short-term solution to end the problem.
