I don't know if sites like extremetech.com are showing fake graphics or not but before reading this whole thread, that's where I saw the AMD Out-of-stock/Mining relation first and it looked like a good theory for me:

But "nobody can know how much AMD Gpus are being bought for the sole purpose of mining": I agree. There is no exact science to prove all this... It's a theory.

Just to give some perspective, from 4days ago.

Here's some numbers for you then. Data from litecoinpool.org and litecoin.info. Since Nov. 28, which is about when the price of Litecoin spiked, the total network hashrate has gone from about 45 GH/sec to about 90 GH/s. Given that an average 280X can run about 650-700 kH/s and the 290 runs about 800 kH/s, that's an increase in installed capacity of about 55,000 290's.

Litecoin network is at 103GH/s now.
And who is to say that some miners don't overlap into the gaming category?
