Hopefully AMD Staffers are looking at this.

This really should be read by both AMD and NVIDIA employees.  The graphic card industry really needs to make changes to how graphic cards are designed and utilized for crypto mining.  End users are being pushed out due to higher pricing and Sellers not following MSRP.  Please consider disabling crypto mining via bio updates when manufactured at the start or a smart chip to disable the card's ability to do crypto if crypto mining is detected. 

Another way  is to develop dirt cheap cards that do nothing but crunch numbers for crypto so that it won't impact pricing of the mid to high end graphic cards.  Everybody wins....lower pricing..  Probably get flamed by someone but I don't care. lol

The "S" in MSRP means "suggested", not the actual price it has to be sold for.

Supply and Demand dictate pricing for everything you buy.Plus they are a "Business" to make money,no matter how.

Make something rare and the prices climb and climb. In the graphics card segment, however, it is so high that you can easily put together the rest of the PC tower from 620 to 1580/2000 euros (AMD Alternate) for the same amount, corrosive.

You do realize that Crypto-Mining is a very profitable segment of the market for both AMD and Nvidia correct?

I seriously doubt that they are going to disable their GPU cards from being used for Crypto-mining and loose a large percentage of their profits.

What both need to do is increase the GPU Card supply to satisfy the demand thus lowering the prices of the GPU cards.

As for the prices of GPU cards it was well stated  by Earnhardt.
