In context: On top of the component shortage contributing to rising prices of graphics cards, crypto miners have further influenced the global shortage of GPUs by buying up all possible stock. Naturally, gamers have been affected, with Nvidia „addressing“ the situation by announcing its dedicated CMP GPUs for cryptomining. One such variant has now become available for an eye-watering price. The Nvidia CMP 170HX is the flagship GPU in the company’s „Cryptocurrency Mining Processor“ series. As spotted in Tom’s Hardware, the card has gone up for sale at Vipera, a retailer in Dubai. The store claims to have 238 units in stock for a price of $4,300. It was also found on a Yahoo auction in Japan where the seller is asking for $5,285.
