if you would have bought one on release it would have paid for itself by now

True I suppose. Happy enough with my 3070 currently.

You were spot on mate.. people gonna crap the bed. Luckily I been through about four crashes, even luckier to have mined through nov/dec/jan/feb whilst others scoffed.

Thats ******** even with free electric you would maybe hit £900 over 8 weeks tops.
Ye £1400 is more 4 months ish probably
Reminds me of US healthcare prices. Because everyone is expected to have insurance, the costs of each operation can be (and often are) hundreds of thousands of pounds, each.
This is now the GPU market. Because everyone is expected to be a miner, the costs (justifiable to some people) can go as high as you like. £2k GPU? "No problem, just mine for a few months."
Very crazy. Much meh.

I have a 3090 founders and gaming at 1440p with fps unlocked I get around 190-230 fps in cold war on ultra and my vram sits around 70c and the max its been is 80c on stock
I’ve done £200 in similar timeframe on a 3070.
The chips are good up to 110C, you can slap a heatsink on the top with a fan to bring the temps down into low 90s or just get a EVGA card with better RAM cooling.
Do you not need any extra money? Would you not like any extra money?
no - it’s the fact mining is now such a factor in this whole thing. It used to be about gaming, now, frankly, it isn’t.
I’m ok for a few quid.
Some people are not ok for a few quid.
And might aswell mine when the card isn't in use, most games out at the moment are pretty crap really (Cyberpunk 2077 for example)
ROI after a few months so a free card.
problem is it wont ROI in a few months even in this crazyness. 3090 is what 120mh/s (radeon 7 is about 100mh/s) so that's approx £8/9 a day. So ROI assuming no electricity and 24/7 mining is approx 187 days or almost 7 months. Assuming the profitability and coin value holds.
Lots of assumptions and take it from somebody who has bought approx 100 mining cards, it WILL take longer than projected. Really I have no idea where people are getting 2 months on a 1400/1500 card.
He said he'd get $800 in a month by doing it when not streaming/gaming, which is nonsense.
