Twenty NvidiaGeForceRTX3070Ti graphicscards have been stolen from a Russian warehouse, but the plan didn't end well for the employees accused of the crime.
In a quiet heist gone wrong, 20 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics cards have been stolen from a Russian warehouse, allegedly by its employees.
Buying a graphics card is difficult everywhere, but soon it will be even more difficult in Russia. Due to the various sanctions imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, many companies have ceased doing business in the country, AMD and Nvidia included. As a result, once the current supplies of graphics cards already available in Russia run out, buying a new GPU will likely only be possible through resellers and scalpers.
Each of those graphics cards was worth 200,000 Russian rubles. The exact price conversion is tricky right now due to the fluctuations in the price of rubles, but this amounts to approximately $1,900, give or take. Put together, this means that around $38,000 worth of graphics cards were stolen. This is where things go south.
