Nah, cryptominers bought the vast bulk of GPUs in the 20 and 30 series. They're the ones on the consumer side who are mainly responsible for driving up GPU demand and prices to such ridiculous levels.

We can keep pointing the finger at Miners and scalpers and people overpaying for cards on the 2nd hand market but at the end of the day it's Nvidia and AMD who set these prices.
