I think price went waaay up for both, thus mining increased substantially. That was about a time I started looking for a graphics card to potentially drive an 8k display under Linux with open-source drivers (so, AMD), and the price for RX5700XT locally has gone from 600€ (I wasn't going to "overpay", ha) to 1000€: not that 5700XT would have done the work I need it for, but GPU prices locally mirror the ethereum demand and likely electricity usage too.
