GPU demand ranking based on back order

[mi7chy]

Back order info provided by ShopBLT. Some of these are reference so most likely demand is dictated by miners along with the fact that the top three are in the sweet spot for best mining rate per card and/or per $. All we need now is some code to poll the data over time to visualize a trend. Useful metric to look at from different perspectives since it can trend where crypto currency is going, prices if you merely want to grab one for gaming, investment strategy for AMD stock, etc.

What will the prices be when dedicated mining-specific hardware is released?

*plane crashes*
*large explosion*
*fire-ball*
*screaming*

The dedicated ASICs manufacturers are too busy making money by testing their products to release them, so your question has no answer.

Very true. Though I'd think they will eventually be released..... Once the profit margins begin shrinking.

That's funny!!! Good point.

AMD can sell all the(mining capable) cards they can make, and the high end ASIC manufacturers are making money with all the ASIC they can make rather than sell/deliver them.
