NVIDIA RTX 3000 series

sorry couldn’t resist have to brag but i’m so happy of my waterloop!

3080 asus ekwb stays at 41 at steady state under load at 300watt while mining, with fans at 60% :sweat_smile::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

ps i’m an ethic miner i mine only while under solar power :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

ps i red about ethereum 2.0 any source were i can learn more!???

I will eventually get a waterblock for mine and add it to my loop

well it was easy :sweat_smile:

My new theory is that Nvidia are just using a numbering scheme on new models that indicates both dollar price and expected year of being in stock.

Nv3080 = $3080 = Jan 1 3080. There’s a beautiful symmetry to it… :wink:

Don’t give them any ideas!

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

Great review on gamersNexus YouTube channel.

Ha, apparently the line in Atlanta has been pretty civil. They allow camping out though, so not quite the rush.

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.

Nvidia would like the miners to buy these: A Crypto Mining GPU for Professionals | NVIDIA

Wow, that hash rate/power consumption ratio doesn’t stand up well to even a 3060ti. Not sure that they will get much traction with that.

Edit: if there is a difference between Mh/s and MH/s then that is a pretty attractive alternative.

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 think I might be very reluctant to purchase a used mining card, if there should ever be a sudden flood of them on the market.

Who can tell what sort of high-heat 24/7 abuse those things might have been getting?

I guess it would depend on what the first guinea pigs report back about reliability…

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.

Skillful miners do that, yes.

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.

Wishful thinking?

Oh no! Makes perfect sense since I just bought a new GPU. :wink:
Also, AMD just announced some new GPUs. That might help pulling the RTX cards down a bit.
