Talking about both being after market cooled, 5 star reviews, etc. Some of the 1k models have a 30-40Mhz overclock but beyond that... why? Am I missing something?

Note: I'm not looking to buy one, I already built a new PC. Just looking over GPU options for a friend and noticed this.

Same VRAM unless you mean the VRAM itself is from different companies (Sony, Samsung, etc) than idk.
Quite a few brands on newegg doing it like MSI and EVGA.

I'm guessing the really expensive ones are just rare these days and being sold by dumb people. Buy a cheaper 2070 Super for sure or get a card that's actually worth $1000.

Are they direct sells or being sold by a third party?

Lucky guess lol, I just saw that a lot on Amazon when I was shopping for cards. And when trying to find a Switch (can't believe they got so expensive, never really needed it though...).

Yeah, it was a good guess. Seeing something on third party on Newegg wasn't something I considered. A lot of those 1k models are being sold from EU or Asian sellers so it must just be auto-correcting the currency inflation.

Literally what I was trying to get at. Lol, it's no problem, though. Definitely do not buy an overpriced one.

Yeah for some reason there's this cult of gpu hoarders that still think it's 2017 and all GPUs are worth 1k+ for bitcoin mining.

I remember when the RX 480 was going for like $1300. Those times were insane.
