        • incipient on 05/01/2022 - 17:00
          +14

          It's entirely miners fault (well, the crypto devs for not going pos I guess).

          Go look at the hash rate on eth. Then go average that out over 1000series though 3000 series and that is a bucket load of wafer that has gone into mining.

      • Jazza2400 on 05/01/2022 - 16:45

        Yes but if you only game on friday/saturday nights may as well make $3.78/day mining (after electricity) all other times and make $105/month (3070 FHR). 3070 LHR would make $79/month. This is based off todays price of ETH/RVN.

        Or put $1000 into a savings account and make $2/month.

        • roberttimmms on 05/01/2022 - 16:50

          How much would it be excluding electricity costs? Just hypothetically you know, if I slapped a tower under my office desk and left it running 24/7 haha

          • Jazza2400 on 05/01/2022 - 17:00

            @roberttimmms: Different websites show different values you're better off being pessimistic

            Minerstat
            3070
            $5.11 / $4.46 AUD before and after electricity

            3070LHR
            $3.72 / $3.07 AUD

            What to Mine
            3070
            $4.51/$3.78

            3070LHR
            $3.42/$2.68

            This is my fav when I'm scouring marketplace for GPUs - https://minerstat.com/hardware/gpus
            Be mindful that most payouts are at 0.2ETH and use a $10 fee to deposit which would be 2 days mining profit with 1x3070. There are L2 payments where you get paid in wETH in smaller amounts with no fee which would be better for solo GPUs.

            • incipient on 05/01/2022 - 17:08

              @Jazza2400: Lol explains pretty perfectly why a FHR card is 50% more expensive than LHR.

              • Jazza2400 on 05/01/2022 - 17:10
                +1

                @incipient: Yep the LHR cards aren't as power efficient. People are still going to mine of them if they can make a buck. Nvidia just made it worst for the environment.

                Honestly gamers could've bought them and mined the cost off within 3 months and score a free GPU. The fact that the release was gridlocked by mass scalpers and broken websites that they couldn't get their hands on one unless they paid extreme scalper prices or got a prebuild. I got a 3080 and that made $20/day back in March 2020 now it makes $10/day thanks to difficulty.

      They're all LHR now. Anyway a lot of progress has been made to unlock them. I'm getting about 90 on my 3080ti which is only supposed to do 40 or 50.

        Nvidia just made it worse for the environment lol

        • icarus255 on 05/01/2022 - 17:49

          Good for you… people are getting 110 on 3080ti by flashing to Dell bios but I'm just not game enough to try. Anyway my point was that LHR has been largely defeated not to buy a 3080ti for mining.

          • Jazza2400 on 05/01/2022 - 18:09
            +1

            @icarus255: Sorry I was in a rush and mightve sound like a dick. I've seen the 110mh on Dell bios update its a win for people with those cards. LHR were always a bit worse for effeciency / wattage but from what I hear it's only eth every other algorithm isn't affected.

            Nvidia never stopped the bulk buyers so they never really fixed the problem having retailers enforce "one gpu per household" instead while the majority goes to mining farms.

            • icarus255 on 05/01/2022 - 18:34
              +9

              @Jazza2400: All g bro. I think NVIDIA was personally supplying the miners with GPUs. Heaps of photos of crypto farms stacked with founders edition cards. With the one hand blaming the miners and with the other making deals with them. NVIDIA are two-faced dogs.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2022 - 18:01

          I'm getting 46mh at 110w, so mine is slightly more efficient. and paid $950 for 3060 ti.

          3080 ti costs way more than $1900, so 3060 ti is better choice for mining with 2 of them outbeat 3080ti and cheaper.

          but these cards are nothing compared to my dedicated asic at 500mh/s.

          • Jazza2400 on 05/01/2022 - 18:11

            @[Deactivated]: How much you pay for the dedicated asic? What's the plan once eth is pos because I hear alot of them can only mine eth?

            • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2022 - 18:12

              @Jazza2400: asic goes to the bin or garden decoration, as long as it already made roi then its fine.

              • Jazza2400 on 05/01/2022 - 18:13

                @[Deactivated]: Can understand that, big gamble! But also less screw around compared with the gpus I've scrambled off the marketplace for my 500mhs lol

      3000 series is supposed to be cheaper than 2000 series. I remember when 2060 was < $500, without mining a 3060 would be around $400 on sale

      I don't know why you got negged for a very valid comment… Beggers can't be choosers is what the current market is.. I bought the Mini in the last deal so agree with u there.

    • FabMan on 05/01/2022 - 17:49

      Doesn't really matter too much as the processors, RAM, and the majority of components are made at the same locations regardless who sells them. They also have to meet NVIDIA's specs, so outside the shielding, fans, and thermal paste, there is very little to divide them.

    • KernelPanic on 05/01/2022 - 18:27
      +3

      I bought a gainward gtx980 back in the day and the card still functions fine. It's no louder than branded cards I've had in the past and I've never seen the temperature go above 80c.
      Would buy one again without hesitation.

      • Mondorock on 05/01/2022 - 18:34
        +2

        80c… my card never goes above 65.

        • FabMan on 06/01/2022 - 00:20

          That is the primary difference between GPU brands in recent years, but what difference does it make if they still function the same? How much more did you pay for your brand?

          • CrushJelly on 06/01/2022 - 07:10

            @FabMan: Lower quality cooler = higher temps = higher fan speeds to cope = louder PC.
            There are always differences.

            If you don't care, then you don't care. But a lot of people do.

            • FabMan on 06/01/2022 - 21:26

              @CrushJelly: I agree with that, but not for $100's, better off undervolting as far as I am concerned.

              • CrushJelly on 07/01/2022 - 00:00

                @FabMan: "But not for $100's" is your opinion, and it's valid. But not everyone has to share the same opinion.

        • KernelPanic on 06/01/2022 - 07:57

          My PC is air cooled, full of dust and I don't have air conditioning.
          My previous card was A gtx770 and that got to the same temperatures and it was branded (either ASUS or gigabyte).
          When I saw the gainward 980 and the price it was selling for I was sceptical and unsure of whether it would be a reliable card. Not a single regret.

    • Mondorock on 05/01/2022 - 18:33
      +2

      Gainward is a reputable brand?

      • greatlamp on 06/01/2022 - 08:05

        Yes, they are a tier 1 Nvidia partner, they make to spec.

    • Camm90 on 05/01/2022 - 20:27
      +1

      Gainward have been around for quite a while. I had a Phantom 770 and it was an excellent card.
      They only sell in a few markets, hence why they're not as popular as the main brands (Asus, msi, etc) who sell globally.
      I have the 3070ti version of this card and I have no complaints. It's actually quite a well built card, which surprised me.

  • Jazza2400 on 05/01/2022 - 16:47

    The fact a perfectly 4k capable GPU only got 8gb of vram annoys me. Sure it's borderline acceptable today. But I'd like a bit more head headroom. Especially with amd offering more which devs will take advantage of.

  • jianh on 05/01/2022 - 17:03

          these for example.
          actually got cyberpunk since release however 2070 struggles with all the ray tracing goodness, whereas it is one of the games where RTX really shines.
          had to put it off until GPU upgrade.

            @yoba: From various benchmark on YouTube, even with a RTX3070, if you play Cyberpunk 2077 with Ray Tracing on, High graphics setting, 1440p resolution, you'll be lucky to maintain average 60FPS. Forget about 120FPS.

            • yoba on 06/01/2022 - 10:03

              @edfoo: you are right. Might as well wait for 3080 for good price, more $$ but more fps and future proofing gains with thicker vram. Still no hopes for 120FPS in cyberpunk though, yikes!
