30xx Series Founders Edition

[Haggisman]

Its not really breaking even if you have recouped the whole cost and still have the card though. If someone picked it up for 1500, mined 200 quid worth then sold it back when they were taking 1300 for one it would be breaking even in a shorter timeframe. Not that I would consider paying that much for a card myself and I have no idea who is buying them especially this late in the cycle.

But then what would be the point in that? A load of effort and risk to break even? 6-12 months ago, sure, but with Eth likely going POS in the next 6 months (sure it could be delayed again), then it seems to be a massive risk, especially since it seems likely that resale value will drop significantly when that happens.

Maybe it is miners or just gamers who hope to at least mine the scalped difference back to close to MSRP.

Yeah, this is more likely the scenario to be honest, but even then, this is going to be desperate people buying single cards - are there really going to be that many?

Hoping to grab a 3080 on one of the next drops, should be a big step-up from my 980 @ 1440.

Atleast the FE cards are nicely presented so makes opening them a bit more of an occasion albeit I found the 2 halves of the box a bit of a pain to slide apart.

It was putting them back together that confused me. Krypton Factor challenge.

Yeah, they do package them nice. They should do for the price!

I presume a 12Gb 3080 will be LHR, extra RAM bus would be nice..

I would like to thank this group as I've just made a successful order on a 3080 Ti.
I will expect the next wave will be the 3080 and 3070 cards.

Once again, thanks to this group and forum for the support.

I'll be gaming this Christmas.
