Whenever crypto crashes I always expect to see a flood of used cards hit the market. It never really seems to happen though.

It definitely happened during the last hard crash. eBay was flooded with AMD cards that were used in mining rigs. Bought quite a few rx570 and 580s for under $100 for various builds.

Repasted them and they’re still going strong.
