While there are a lot of extremely expensive and useful items in Escape from Tarkov, none of them are more coveted than the GPU. Players love finding GPUs or Graphics Cards because they can be used to farm Bitcoin inside the game. Setting that up means you will never go poor again because you have a high passive income by letting your GPUs farm while you aren’t playing. This is why GPUs are a priority for some endgame players. Here’s how you can get those GPUs fast in Escape from Tarkov.
Best Places to Find GPUs Fast in Escape from Tarkov
Since Graphics Cards are extremely rare, following certain strategies can only increase your chances of finding them, but it does not guarantee you will find one. However, if you follow this strategy, you’ll have the best chances of finding them.
While players might have their own preference on where to farm items, it would always be Interchange if you want the most chances to find GPUs. Interchange has many electronic spawns that all have chances to spawn GPUs. You have stores like Texho, Techlight, TT, German, and Rasmussen to spawn these GPUs.
However, outside of these loose electronic spawns inside the stores, Interchange is also filled with several PC Blocks that can spawn more electronic loot like GPUs.
Apart from the stores mentioned above, you want to go to all the office sections inside the mall. The best spot would be the office with the staircase leading up to the second floor on the OLI side. There are several desks with possible PC Block spawns under each desk.
These PC Blocks aren’t fixed spawns, but you can always expect to loot six or seven on average inside the office. The next best office would be the one behind OLI (near the Emercom side), which should have three or four PC Blocks.
Other small offices that may have a couple of PC Blocks are the front of OLI (near the OLI Logistics room), Goshan offices (near the food grocery), and the office in IDEA.
If you successfully hit those spots, you should average around 10 or more PC Blocks per raid, including the loose electronic spawns you find inside the stores. While all of these are dangerous, at least you would be the first to hear if someone is coming if you are already inside the offices.
Players tend to avoid these amazing PC Blocks since they are so far from the “main” part of the mall. Apart from looting GPUs, players can also find SSDs, Wires, Light Bulbs, and more. Finding SSDs can also be fruitful since you can offer them as a sacrifice in the Cutlist Circle to get some awesome loot.
You can make the runs profitable even if you don’t find a GPU. No map comes close to Interchange when it comes to electronic loot, so it can be a hot area depending on the current state of the wipe (early/mid/late wipe).

Should You Sell or Use Your GPUs in Escape from Tarkov?
While it ultimately comes down to preference, players who don’t have the time to play upward of 10 hours a week should refrain from using GPUs in their Bitcoin Farms. It takes several months to recoup the cost, and selling them is better than always maintaining your hideout with low playing hours.
If you play a lot, it is still up to preference. Most players don’t think about it. They plug them into their Bitcoin Farm and sell them when they don’t feel like playing anymore and wait for the next wipe. However, there are times when this can be effective since some players play for long hours and skip a few days before playing again. In this type of playstyle, they’ll benefit greatly from a Bitcoin Farm because they’ll maximize the usage before collecting the Bitcoin and then playing.
GPU prices always depend on how much money a Bitcoin Farm can make, so even if the prices change, the return on investment will almost always remain the same, which is around two months.
