Hey really good news about crypto, there's an Asic now for Ethereum so the number of people using graphics cards for it might be dropping significantly
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ethereum-miner-32-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-gpus
main apex
does it cost less than 38 3080s tho?
charred remnant
It's significantly more energy efficient so it will be cheaper long term.
Like based on the 2556W that's the equivalent of all 38 3080s only consuming 67W of power
main apex
oh thats nice
it'll be interesting to see if it does actually reduce all the 3080s being used for mining
charred remnant
It might not right away since crypto isn't super stable and it's a big upfront investment. But if ethereum goes back to rising it will make sense for them to dump graphics cards for an Asic.
main apex
oh well atleast that means a bunch of cheap gpus will show up in the used market
charred remnant
Hopefully, or they'll sell them above msrp used because they can🙄
main apex
still better than paying what a new one costs imo for just a year old card at max
alpine ocean
Asic's make no sense to buy for ethereum with 2.0 possibly coming before you could get your return on investment.

you should try for the bestbuy drop
that is where i got my gpu
used the saved items list on mobile
and log on at 9am on thursdays and fridays and just watch it for 15 minutes
its hard with school but i managed to do it during zoom as well
ionic monolith
ok ill try that too. i have a couple items on my saved list for bestbuy
i just randomly check some mornings because bestbuys site says there arent specific restocking days
i dont understand why these major sites dont restrict to one per address. its easy to do and wouldnt hurt sales
especially for something like this

maybe i could code my own bot that scans a list of URLs for the button to not say "SOLD OUT"...

No but people build their own pcs/upgrade too also the rtx 3000 series is a massive perf increase for the price( msrp wise) so when people heard 2080 ti perf from a 500$ 3070 they were like wow imma get one of them
charred remnant
Yea that was why I started my new build, my last build was 6 years ago and I was like dang this looks like the time to upgrade
Also I'm sorting through my old pc part manuals as I teardown my old pc and you know your graphics card is old when it is advertising PCIe Gen 3.0 and assuring you that it is still backwards compatible with 2.0
tender mulch

Trust me when i say that people like you and i are the vast majority of gpu demand. Miners are a very dmall portion. Its just easy to blame someone else when youre frustrated at the current situation.

stop and do the following:
clean and repaste your gpu

repair your direct x

if you are hitching and crashing, reinstall the game

in the case of windows being the issue do a reinstall
reinstalls dont even take much time these days
i remember installing windows 98 and it was a 3-5 hour affair sometimes

just to be sure, I install DDU, enter safe mode and run it, reboot, and the drivers will reinstall on reboot or do I use Geforce Exp to reinstall?
lone pond
i reccomend you do the geforce exp
halcyon plover
Yeah
lone pond
but that isnt to say it will fail, its just to ensure i got the surest chance it isnt the drivers
also run some synthetics after you do all this to ensure its actually the card
this might be a localized game issue
in which case check their support forums

That's not scalping buddy. Selling for market rate and scalping are totally different
drowsy kiln
OfferUp and FB Marketplace mainly
drowsy kiln
Yea, it's really location based sadly
Vintage confused why you reacted with . You saying they similar?
green harness
"Selling for market rate" is a euphemism for scalping when the market rate is a scalper price
dense prairie
also true
drowsy kiln
Fair, but not like I'm intentionally buying cards at MSRP or slightly higher and selling for double that.
I'm just buying for under market rate and selling for market.
dense prairie

I'm just buying for under market rate and selling for market.
So just straight up scalping, and not just scalping your old hardware but flipping stuff for scalper rates

They are two different terms. Scalping and flipping are totally different.

It's certainly resourceful, but you shouldn't be surprised that people find it objectionable
Scalping and flipping go hand in hand there

Debatable. The people that I'm buying the cards and stuff from could easily sell for what I sell for what I'm selling them for they just don't know cost of cards.

so you're taking advantage of people
drowsy kiln
To some extent. But comparatably there are RX 580 8gb selling for $700 near me, so me selling for $550 while market rate on eBay is well under what it is locally near me.
People are buying them too, the listings disappear in about a weeks time.

there are gamers who could actually use those

Yes, and I'm 99% sure every single card has gone to a gamer. I've asked every single person I've sold a card to what they plan to play on it and they all give various answers.
I ask about mining and most don't even know waht it is

Clearly can't explain the difference of flipping and scalping to people that don't flip pcs. They are definitly different; every single card has been sold in a full system. Most recently sold a system
R5 2600, RX 580 8gb, and 16gb ram sold for $625. I bought the cpu, mobo, and ram combo for $125 so the GPU I sold for "$550" in reality that combo should go for way closer to $250 or something so GPU was more like $325.

Mhm, I'm picking up an RTX 2080s for $625 trading for an RX 5700-XT (I'll sell for ~$500) and a GTX 1050ti. While I'll loose a bit of investment, friend is running an RX 460 rn gotta give the man an upgrade.
While $125 isn't great for a 1050ti it's better than hard scalping a 5700-XT for $600+ (they go for ~$1000)
dense prairie
$125 is amazing for a 1050ti, especially right now
drowsy kiln
Not when I can get an RX 580 4gb for $145. But it's still not bad no
But it's a worthy upgrade from an RX 460. I'll take the 460 and use it in a system. Clearly not sell the pc as a "gaming pc" but if I can get another R5 2600 it can play Apex even at ~60 fps, so very playable.
lavish otter
You can always get a 2600 cheap...if you buy from China

Yeah, it is probably a dead card and you might have to replace it. A bad time to die too, cards are still expensive. Question though, do you mean a 1030 2gb or 1060 3gb? The Phoenix 1030 didn't come in 3gb cards

I sorta feel like asus is being borderline malicious, like they had one of the steepest price hikes significantly beyond the cost of the tariff and now are creating outragous bundles that make no sense to buy and only selling in bundles
In fairness it is a 360Hz monitor so for people who are into that a 3090 ensures you're more likely to actually make full use of that

Shouldn't affect its performance... so shouldn't affect its value
I'd bet personally

i’m going to see if it wipes off prob not but i’m going to try

steel wolf
im asking if his card is overclocked
heady turtle
You overclock all cards for mining on mem
steel wolf
which card do you have
heady turtle
I've a 3070 gigabyte gaming oc get +1300 on 120w -502

Basically, any GPU mining, you underclock core by a bit, lower power limit and push VRAM as far as it will go without dropping blocks/shares
heady turtle
Also called rejected shares
Iirc 3080 doesn't drop core as much as 3070 or oc mem as much
steel wolf
im currently as 1400 mem
tender mulch
And it's not rejecting shares?
steel wolf
nope
heady turtle
Hardly are you sure?
tender mulch
Drop your core and power limit
heady turtle
Btw did you mean 1400 or +1400? What are you using to overclock
tender mulch
1400 is in the realm of possibility water cooled
steel wolf
heady turtle
Ohh yeah forgot it was watercooled
steel wolf
yep
tender mulch
If that core clock drops the MH/s too much, bump it up to -250 or -200
heady turtle
I wouldn't try-512 on a 3080
steel wolf
then what
tender mulch
Test the power limit on the MH/s rate also, find the sweet spot
Takes some tinkering
tender mulch
Find the core sweet spot first
Then tinker with the power limit, somewhere between 55-70%
heady turtle
when you game just switch to the default profilr
charred remnant
if you remember your settings you can swap between
tender mulch
keep in mind this is my dailey driver
I personally use Afterburner
steel wolf
ok can you give a quick run down
tender mulch
Save multiple profiles
heady turtle
Idk if precision has profiles but that's a nother reason I like afterburner 5 profiles
tender mulch
One for mining and one for gaming
