It's incredibly difficult to find a mid-range or high-end graphics card that isn't selling way above MSRP right now, and that is a direct result of cryptocurrency mining. Maybe (hopefully) that will change once Samsung starts shipping hardware designed specifically for mining.

We're not holding out hope that Samsung will prove a savior for gamers, but the company has begun mass producing special hardware designed to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
