They are a legal way to print money. So they sell out.
The price for them is now 1399 plus tax or in my case about 1500 vs the 1170 I paid

below is a 12 card case with 4 gpus.
both the a4000 and the 3090 zotac are getting heat sinks in a day or 2.
I am getting 6 more a4000 today. So I saved around 325 a card x 7 = 2275 my partners and I got 17 of them or 17 x 325 = 5525 saved. Basically by jumping in fast we got 5 cards for free.
The problem of over priced cards will not go away anytime soon. Maybe mid 2022. I have heard early 2023 at worst
So 9 to 16 months.
