the thing is the downturn in crpyto that is happening now is not like corrections we had earlier like china banning, india planning on banning. There is a critical reason for it this time, its the fed interest rate hikes! we will see gradual slump in crypto from now until june-july this year and that should pull the gpu prices down. waiting all this time and buying now doesn;t make sense. One sign of gpu intrest going down also is there are GPUs available from "Appario" of Amazon and they are not soldout! usually they are gone in few mins! ofcource they are priced high but still earlier cases they would have gone like in minutes.

Kids who are jumping and calling these as bullshit deals, worst thing etc:
Go through the thread and understand what I meant. Let me reiterate.
These deals show that gpu prices are going to comedown sooner, that stockpiles are happening and retailers cannot hold the stock for long. These show that we can wait little longer and see better GPU prices if we only need a GPU.
Second point. Given current market situation, for those who cannot wait, the bundle is decent enough. Actually it is a good deal if one is looking for 3060 Ti and is building entire system from scratch with liquid cooling AiO as a requirement. Just because you feel it is shit does not make it shit for everyone. I would have gone for it if this was available when I was building my system from scratch. I have been waiting for more than a year for 3060 Tiir 3070 (need those for machine learning and faming). Amd gpus are direct no go as they cannot do ML.

Expect the crypto market to track Wall street more closely given the no of institutional investors.

Yes. I see the cards in stock in b and c towns/cities. They have this stack of cards lying behind them and still say 'you will be lucky if you find stock of xyz card'. I was like 'there is a pile right behind you'.
and what was the reply on `there is a pile right behind you`

You know what the reply was..and what was the reply on `there is a pile right behind you`
they are still selling 1650 for 30k inr.
the only hope I have is that increase in competition will decrease the demand. so thus we will have more stock, less buyers and voila, about normal gpu rates 
one can see the effect as of now as the card been sold for 53k was offered for 45k or something. this was due to crypto crash but the scene will definitely change in future.

What cards are those?
I've never seen a GPU with led fans. Looks kinda cool, tbh.
galax cards. you can also see the box at the bottom rack.

Damn. How can they compare this with a 3 year old gpu?

Yup. About what I expected.

I was planning to buy a GPU for my nephews 2nd hand build and i was so shocked to see that the prices are more than double irrespective of the card being mid range or top of the line. For my own system i was planning to upgrade to a better one but after a look at the prices i will stick to my 5 year old Zotac 970 till the prices become more sensible. Is this trend only in India or are the prices double than the MRP across the world?
Pretty much this.
While we'll never get back to the days where a 70 series like yours could be had for around 25k new (because of inflation, weak rupee, high taxes), everyone is optimistic that we'll at least drop to 1.5x msrp or lower later this year instead of the 2x that's become the norm.

Guys, any idea of prices for new RTX 3070 & 3060Ti? Old gaming laptop is dying, so can't wait for as long as I hoped for. Avoiding 2nd hand because of miners. My usage is gaming.

Not to condone mining but when done with care mining shouldn't affect the gpu negatively as it puts the gpu under constant load. Perhaps the more experienced people here can chime in.
There is slim chance you are going to be able to score a used gpu from gamers as most of the gpus were picked up by miners and unless a gamer is getting a better card, they are not going to sell in this market.

I agree 100%. Mining GPU if done properly with well tuned card is much much better than a GPU used for gaming.
You see when you're mining you underclock and power limit your card. Ideally, 3060ti/70 run less then 125W when mining 24x7 and @ under 60C even when fans are at 60% or less.
Constant load keeps the components on the PCB happy and safe from load spikes so they eventually last longer. Gaming mostly draws full power and the card hovers around 90-100% of the TDP. There are load spikes as well due to loading screens, these spikes reduce the component life.
Also most miners clean GPUs every 3-4 weeks as well while gamers on the other hand do not care at all and wait for the warranty to run out. I'd happily buy a mined on GPU given that the seller discloses the fact that they mined on it and kept the card well maintained. On the other hand a person who says "Never mined, only used for gaming" is a bit skeptical during such times because you have no proof if they're telling the truth.
