What you need to hope for is that these cards settle the demand and bring cards back to gamers.

Honestly, I don't think it will. Miners lose the ability to go on eBay and re-sell a seriously abused GPU (to unsuspecting buyers) for half price, recouping part of their investment

You are correct, I believe in that mining isn't going anywhere..

Yeah, I unfortunately see it as only working well if these cards were made from specialized, higher ppw (performance per watt) compute ready designs.

Cards for toy money. What a joke.

You know, it really ceases to be "toy money" when there is heavy value, infrastructure, and an industry built around it that employs people full time, but hey, I can't help but understand you want your GPUs back cheap. This is an attempt at a mutual solution, don't make fun of it if you want a return to normal.

People need to keep in mind we have and have always had several miners on this forum. Implying that what they do for their income is somehow useless/worthless is pretty damn offensive, frankly. I've bit my tongue thus far, but it's becoming so prevelant that I feel speaking up is neccesary. You are all acting like a bunch of infants who had their candy (read gpus) taken away with comments like that.
