Hopefully, those LHR cards work pretty well.

Depends on Elon Musk :>

IDK why they still use GPUs whey they have specialized equipment for it...

honestly though hopefully means more gpu for gamers

Where is Elon Musk when you need another price drop?

At some point people have to realize it is going to come back down to earth. Just like in 2018.

One can hope. A flood of used cards would certainly help correct the gpu market but I would bet most miners would hold on to their cards considering the market and crypto will likely go back up, it's always been volatile.

I think it will go back up at even the smallest event.

Yeah. And nvidia might shoot itself in the foot again.

If I can buy a card at MSRP, then any crash (real or imagined) would be welcome.

Just been reading about the "Crypto Crash", of the last few days.
 
Is this a sign that we may see what occurred the last time Crypto crashed? Suddenly the demand for cards will tank, and eBay will be flooded with used GPU's?
 
Interesting to say the least, still massive Silicone shortage and manufacturing constraints, but will the personal computer/gaming enthusiast start to see more access to GPU's?
 
 

Not going to happen. When the market crashed in 2018, there wasn't as much widespread adoption and attention on the crypto space as there is today. Mining is also such a small portion of the GPU shortage issue currently, where as last time that was pretty much the only reason there was a shortage. Crypto has been trading sideways for the last week or 2, and is gearing up for another push after all the fud and market manipulation that was sprung to shake out all of the new investors. Financial institutions got their buys in while everything was cheap and now you are hearing people like Kevin O'leary, Ray Dalio, and Goldman Sachs talking about crypto. The rich are ready for another push now that they have their buy ins. Eth, ADA and Doge are all strapping themselves to rockets for new ATH's by end of June/July.

Even if crypto dies the scalpers will rise all the time because they make much more money from this.thats the ugly truth

As someone both into crypto and gaming hardware, it's really cool to see the relationship between the two of them. It sucks that crypto mining is so prevalant, both for the environment and availability of hardware.

heck what I'm thinking is if the man can put a car in space, land a rocket on a ship in the middle of the ocean , dominate the EV market space... why is their not a TESLA GPU... could you even imagine heck we could call it the Musk420  

People wouldn't be able to afford it. There are already ASIC miners that have such a higher hash rate per dollar spent, and per watt consumed, but a single video card is much cheaper and more obtainable to the average consumer.

I am wondering how it will work out since people who have a 3080 can mine worn it without a limit so they probably can toss it on eBay for a miner to buy as they go for a upgrade to a 3080Ti. I am just saying it’s great NVIDIA put the limit in place but it means the older 3080 does have an advantage and will still be resold at ridiculous prices while the 3080Ti has a high price to start.

Just kind of sad because I was really happy to see the low price the 3080 launched at.
