NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Selling For 270 USD In Second Hand Markets In China Thanks To Crypto Crackdown

GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards can be bought on the Chinese Internet marketplace for the best prices in quite some time, but not for the greatest reasons. Chinese officials last week extensively shut down numerous cryptocurrency mining farms. Cryptocurrency farms are where several electronic rigs have several graphics processors connected to them for the sole purpose of processing code used in such cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin or Etherium, just to name a few.
Computers and laptops in large quantities are also used in the same fashion. Due to China's crackdown on cryptocurrency farms, many crypto mining GPU sellers have relocated to the Sichuan region to sell the used equipment as immediately as possible. Cryptocurrency farms are quickly selling used RTX 30 series GPUs for as low as ¥1,760, or around $270 — if not lower — as reported by cryptocurrency site The Block. One other crypto mining farm is attempting to sell gaming laptops that were utilizing the onboard RTX 3060 GPUs for around $1000.
