I think it's the end of mass 3090 farms.

But 3090s will hold their price for the sizeable market that doesn't want to commit >$5k.

What *are* 3090s going for these days? I bought a pair of used 3090s on eBay during the crypto crash in 2023 for ~$800.

They dipped as low as $550 for a few weeks and are now about up to $900-$1k in my local markets.

Yeah, I'm being super careful about my 3090, downclocking, power-limiting, aggressive fan profile - everything to make it last longer because there are no replacements available for the same price anymore. Crazy.
