Sales of Chinese miners: GeForce RTX 3060 for up to $ 270/5900 CZK

One of the miners offered the following products belonging to the current generations of Nvidia and AMD graphics cards at the following prices (in Chinese yuan, followed by conversions to dollars and crowns).

Although the price of the GeForce RTX 3060 may not seem bad, shoppers there showed more appreciable interest only when they discovered that it could be negotiated for 1,760 yuan, or about $ 270 / 5,900. Prices are generally different, especially when compared to the recommended price (MSRP). While the aforementioned GeForce RTX 3060 can be sold on sale under the MSRP ($ 329 -> $ 270), the GeForce RTX 3070 comes out more expensive ($ 499 -> $ 585), although it may be possible to negotiate on the MSRP and the differences are even higher for more powerful cards.

The GeForce RTX 3060 is not only the most advantageous, but due to the fact that it was the last of the offered cards, it will also be significantly less worn than other models, so it can last a potential buyer for some Friday.

The offers also include significantly older pieces such as the Radeon R9 Fury X with water cooler, once an exclusively made reference model with a core Fiji, the first with HBM memories. It may have been interesting for mining (thanks to 4096 stream processors and 4096bit HBM bus) until recently, but from the point of view of those interested in choosing a card for game use, it will not be very interesting; similar performance can be obtained in the newer models at a significantly lower level of consumption (not to mention how long the card issued in mid-2015 could run in mining systems).

The collapse of Chinese cryptocurrency has caused an overall decline in graphics card sales, so even in stores, prices are constantly falling and availability is improving. Some cards can already be purchased for almost half of what you do at the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
