That's what I get for just lurking in this threadthere is one already.
Whether that's true or not (it could be), there's no doubt that mining is the most retarded modern invention, ever.
Literally £billions worth of hardware sitting around solving made-up maths problems, for no actual benefit to anyone in the real world.
I can't believe the levels of idiocy that we've sunk to. Literally flushing hardware and energy down the toilet for absolutely no reason.
The mind truly does boggle.

@ScottiB @Gibbo I just don't understand why you guys kept the pre-orders open indefinitely on the 3070/3080 series. In-fact I'm looking at the nvidia site right now and you are still pretty much the only retailer listed across every single brand / model of 3070/3080. I'm not sure how you are going to keep these customers for future purchases when some have been waiting since September with very vague updates and you need to keep an eye on multiple threads for little snippets from Gibbo.
The AMD launch was also horribly handled. probably 99% of users were smashing F5 on the AMD GPU page that was never going to show any of the cards. Instead you post a link on twitter to a hidden page. A lot of really strange decisions. I know business is absolutely booming but it's very short term thinking. You guys are getting bashed across different forums and on discord/telegram channels for the pricing and the communication.
it has never been so hard to spend your money, than trying to buy a new gpu

That's funny!! "Buying else where" hahaha No one told him there is no stock anywhere??The Twitter link was the last straw for me, that was beyond stupid or they wanted more visitors to the site, I guess we will never know. Will buying else where from now on, especia0lly with the gouged prices.
Shocking but not surprising anymore.
i think sensible peeps are better off waiting it out and let stock build up and most important the price war to start.
Yeah, the price war over whether something should be 150% of RRP or 160%.
I'm surprised no one mentioned that asrock and others are listed with a 1 year warranty? 1 year? For £700? No thanks!
