Lol, if it's that price they won't sell any (for mining)
Well they'll be removing the video outputs so that should drop a couple of quid off the price...

Except the A100 series already have the video outputs removed
If you bought a 3xxx series at rrp, why would you be worried about recouping money on it? Most have made back the new to used difference within weeks/months by mining.
40GB A100 - $15K - 160Mhs
Because it's even more profit? People are not mining for lols
I meant in terms of why this new mining only card would make any difference as the OP implied.
If Nvidia wanted they could sell this mining card for 20% of the current a100 price. There is no way it's costs them 10k to make this card
would be interesting if Nvidia also decided to launch a new Titan based on the A100 using HBM2 memory - it would have 20% more cores than the 3090 and 50% more memory bandwidth
and FYI Kaap, this wouldn't even be "full fat". We know from leaks that the A100 isn't even full fat, early last year during engineering testing, Nvidia built full fat cards that contained another 2000 Cuda cores over the A100, there were even some benchmarks leaked and then it just disappeared when the A100 launched
We have more details on this card
Its called the 220HX
Its hash rate is 200-210MH/s
The retail price is $2999usd
now combine this with the upcoming 3070ti and 3080ti which has the mining limiters and the EOL of the 3080 and 3090 - as a total package this could kill off desktop gaming GPU mining, provided Nvidia can make enough of the 220HX to maintain mining demand
We need to see what configuration and price a possible GA100 card has for mining before jumping to conclusions.
If NVidia wanted to I don't think they would have much trouble making a GA100 mining card for about the same price as a FE 3090 or less.
The GA100 die is about the same physical size as used in older cards like the 2080 Ti, RTX Titan and Titan V. I know the GA100 is on 7nm but by now the yields must be reasonable.
If NVidia give the card the bare minimum required for mining with other components on the PCB I don't think it is unreasonable to see the cards selling for around £1500, this would be a serious threat to gaming cards used for mining.
If you already bought a card at rrp (especially a 3xxx series), then what is the threat? Most will make back the difference is new vs regular used price in a few weeks from mining.
If you bought at 2 or 3 times the rrp then yes it coypd be worrying but that was always a massive risk with no guarantee of return on investment .

And so are gamers. Mad ones yes, but gamers are also paying silly prices.Can you elaborate?
Miners seem to be paying £1-2.5k for 3080s and 3090s that will do 90-120MH/s. Why would a card going 150 need to be under a grand?
