An RX580 for $199 with no DP or HDMI ?

[trs96]

These RX580s had been selling for 400 USD or more just a few months ago. When I looked closer at the pics I saw only one DL DVI connector . Really, why do that ? Then I understood why it was so cheap. This was designed as a lower cost Bitcoin mining card because you don't need to connect any monitors to it to mine bitcoins. Powercolor is a little late to the party here. It took them too long to get these to market, now they have a huge backlog since the mining craze has ended.

Interesting find

The mining craze has really caused system-builders pain in the sense that hardware had become ridiculously expensive, or difficult to find. We were already subject to memory or drive price fluctuations.

Ah well, good news if the craze has abated.
