At the start I thought that miners weren't really a force to reckon with but when I saw that the scalpers are selling their received cards on the same day to miners I changed my opinion. I think people severely underestimate the proportion of miners at this point, overall they aren't a majority but during Q1 2021 they probably were. I'm part of a few botting groups, although I don't take part. The current price difference between the cards can also be partially explained by how much hashpower they have for mining ethereum.
Some back of the envelope math. The current hashrate is about 650000 Gh/s, which is almost 4x as much as at the start of the year. So an increase of about 50000000 Mh/s. A 3060 Ti produces around 60 Mh/s, that's about 8.3 million 3060 Ti's. Of course not all of the added hashpower comes from new cards so the numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt.
