£2.69999K for a 3090? WTF

[mikehhhhhhh]

Depreciation is only relevant if you rely on selling old cards, of course.

On a comedy note, as further evidence of the pricing fiasco the Radeon VII is now worth more used than the 6900XT is new xD



The 3090 makes ~22.5% more crypto per month than the 3080, that's the only important factor to serious miners.

You see bedroom/hobby miners care about things like performance per watt, cost of purchase, etc but the serious miners don't because more crypto is > all. After all why would you care about spending/saving money when you know money is going to hold it's value but you believe crypto will rise in value.

Thats a good point to a degree, provider the value is not abysmall, you would just mine on any and every gpu you can get your hands on even if its 20x 3090s. Cause if you work on the assumption that coin prices will just go up, then how much hash rate a card has is irrelevant, whatever gets you coins faster is what you use

Even without crypto rising in value, a 3090FE can still pay its self off in under 5 months. It’s not a bad mining prospect at all, really.

Are there any calcs done to work out the ROI based on card prices and ETH /BTC prices? How low would the price of crypto need to drop to making mining less attractive or even non profitable.

I know you need to factor energy prices into the equation and that's probably why China dominates crypto mining. Not a simple answer and will vary country to country.

A 3080 would still be profitable by at least 2.50 a day if profitability dropped by 50% of what it currently is

I'm not sure, but at current prices with the 3090 with mem clocked as low as it will go, 6900xt part time and 1080 that are in my house with Nicehash which doesn't offer the absolute highest yield out of all the mining options, I'm averaging around £12 per day while using £2-3 per day in electricity - as above, even if that dropped to £6 a day it would still be profitable.

looks like someone brought it? O_o

Revenue and volume of SKUs produced are different things.

NVidia have made more revenue in the last quarter by producing less product at a higher margin.

Well it appears I was right, according to gamers nexus based on Nvidia charts, demand has caused amphere to outsell all previous generations week on week. Won't say I told you so sorry mate but you are wrong.
Around 4 mins in for the charts, whilst the actual numbers aren't yet known, almost sold double the amount of previous generations according to Nvidia.
