Apparently they are using prebinned chips for the Ti that they have accumulated since production started. Ddr6 ram may be the bottleneck if there is still a scarcity but expect more Ti s than the previous cards
Interesting. So, it can still mine, just at the rate of a 3070, 3060ti, or 2080ti, which have hash rates all in the high fifties. I bet some miners are feeling a bit burned right now. Well, that’s a very small sample survey. Will keep watching this space.
Yeah they are quite low, they seem to be scared of killing the resell market in one go. I think the play is to have racks of these things, as they don’t generate much heat, no displays, and low wattage. They’ll be motherboards with 6 x 90HX’s soon enough I’d think.
I probably wouldn’t buy an ex-miner card either, but if someone is doing it with a few cards and semi-professionally then heat and power are something they tend to push less hard on than gamers. Miners usually undervolt the card and try to keep a bunch of them cooler - it makes the cost sums work out better. Depends if they are paying for their own electricity as well.
Others download a video bios from somewhere and sell the card on ebay if it can’t put up with the ridiculous clock rates configured in that bios. I’ve seen cards like that. It’s sad.
I wish GPU manufacturers would create a self diagnosis tool of some sort so all customers could easily check a card for sanity.
It would prevent endless wasted hours dealing with failed hardware for everyone. Buying second hand would not be as much of a lottery anymore.
