Why not ?
Can somebody explain ? Is it a technical problem ? I seriously don't understand and am a bit frustrated that all amd cards are sold out pretty much anywhere I look :)
I never blame people buying these in bulk. Had I had a few thousand dollars to spare I'd have bought a few dozens myself (480/580) and have them nicely running.
But I looked for some dedicated hardware and there seems to be none. Also the already mining miners seem to freak out at even rumors of asics for eth. That I understand: their rigs will be rendered useless.
