Germans run out of GPUs
 

Gold rush sparks shortage

Germany is seeing a national shortage in mid-range and high-end graphics cards, due to an increasing craze for mining the Ethereum cryptocurrency.

Mindfactory has completely run out of AMD Radeon RX 500 series graphics cards and GeForce GTX graphics cards, and it thinks its cupboards will be tumble weed for at least three months.

Tom's Hardware said that prices for graphics cards have risen sharply since June, with prices shooting up by as much as 160 per cent on multiple European and US online retailers.
