I'm glad I grabbed a 1080 for a good price about 6 mos ago. Great for
gaming. Even the demand for 1060's has increased. I think it's getting so
hard to find any mid range cards in stock anywhere that the ebayers are
grabbing everything and marking it up hoping to capitalize on this trend.
On a good note, etherium mining difficulty jumped a LOT this week making it
less attractive.

Well that blows. I've always preferred the green team due to better long-term 
driver support, and was glad that nvidia pricing wasn't influenced by the 
cryptomining clowns.

I think it's time that the manufacturers try to find technological lockouts.

Greg, the latest xmrminer for nvidia has increased mining performance of nvidia 
cards by 20+% for mining so the 1070's especially are in higher demand. It's 
puts them closer to AMD and the power draw is making nvidia cards look like a 
good option too now. For some reason the 1080's don't seem to perform as well 
as you'd expect but that could change. It's pretty wild if you've been watching 
the trends.  :)

Greg, the latest xmrminer for nvidia has increased mining performance of
nvidia cards by 20+% for mining so the 1070's especially are in higher
demand. It's puts them closer to AMD and the power draw is making nvidia
cards look like a good option too now. For some reason the 1080's don't
seem to perform as well as you'd expect but that could change. It's pretty
wild if you've been watching the trends.  :)

alt coin mining (not so much bitcoin, but etherium, monero, litecoin, etc)
has destroyed the video card market driving prices waaay up.  It you want
any decent video card you need to get on nowinstock and set a browser alarm
and hope you can get your order in before the cards disappear. Rx 580's go
in about 15 seconds on newegg and amazon the past 3-4 weeks. Check ebay and
you'll see all the shills reselling video cards for about 1.5 - 2x the
market price. Any multi PCIe motherboards are also having the same issues
and being resold for twice the market rate

Ideas?

I’m pretty sure everyone here has heard of Synergy for controlling multiple 
pc’s with one KB/mouse;
I’m using Desk Dock to do the same with a win10 pc and the Nexus I just picked 
up. Works great.
