Unless you're independently wealthy or mad, you really shouldn't be buying at these prices. Unfortunately it's going to take best part of a year before prices get back to where they should be.I just checked pcpartpicker after the latest Linus video.
They also sell a 1660 TI for 700 Dollars now. I paid 250 Dollars two years ago during black friday for my spare pc. This is crazy.
Is that confirmed?

Consoles once again delaying pc and gaming, now helping to limit the production of chips...
That's not the same, those are not store prices, you can still get on a waitlist and get either console at MSRP.
Unless crypto and/or the general economy craters, it won't relax until new silicon fabs are built (which will take years). Demand is dozens of times higher than the current world wide peak production capacity, and can not be increased without new plants coming online. There will either have to be an exponential increase in supply (again, a multi-year construction and design process), or an exponential decrease in demand (Crypto's increasing value means there is effectively limitless and ever increasing demand).
Pretty sure my 1060gtx will do the trick
I did that and they still couldn’t get me a decent card. The suppliers don’t have them.
Steal electricity

Of course not, but I have a reason to gift someone a pc who I might have anyway.
NV has entire Samsung 8nm to itself, what "silicon shortage"?
AMD GPUs are sold en mass at well over MSRP, all that "market share" talk is basically about capacity.
Son of a bitch. There goes my plans to mine from my mom's basement.Steal electricity
Police bust Bitcoin mining operation for electricity theft
SEREMBAN (March 19): Police busted a syndicate stealing electricity supply to carry out Bitcoin mining activities in raids on three shop premises in Seremban 3 yesterday.District Police chief ACP Mohd Said Ibrahim said the integrated operation in collaboration with Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB)...
And yes, mining in your parents home while not paying for electricity is also "stealing".
I have PS5 but I haven't touched it after I finished Atelier Ryza 2, because I mostly played Bravely Default 2 (90 hours) and Monster Hunter Rise (130 hours).Can't get a ps5.
Can't get an xbox.
Can't get a videocard for a pc.
More money to Nintendo it is, then
Not die, but building PCs will become niche again like it was in the late 80s/early 90s, but due to prices this time around. I can see the sales of Pre-builts increasing again and I know those companies are rubbing their hands at this ongoing situation of scalpers and miners.

Whoever can make their Pre-built come closest to a console price will win the race.
I agree with you, but ask the CEOs of AMD and Nvidia if they care as they lay on their furniture made of literal 100 dollar bills.
And consoles chips using space and man power to be made.
Well, GTX 1060 is a card.
...what?
Not really. Scalpers react to a market where demands far exceeds supply. I'm sure if you had a cartel artificially constrain supply (which is what debeers does) then you'd have a complaint but in this case as it is in pretty much every case the scalpers are an effect of low supply, not causing it.
You're gonna have show some receipts for this claim, only amd/nvidia know what it costs to manufacture the cards; even if their costs rose by 25%, that absolutely doesn't explain the 200% increase (that means 3x) on some of these cards.
from mining demand.
