R - 58 mh/s , so slotting behind the AMD 6800 and 6900 (all 3 AMD high end @ 66 mh/s)That's just completely untrue.
Never vented all that 'til now. hehSo my answer was true then, Nope, so im completely right, my reply was to the guy above, who asked "Will this end the mining plague?" and i said nope, so you are saying it will end the plague then ?That's just completely untrue.
There are plenty of gamers that play games on their cards and then overnight or during work hours etc.. use it for mining for a little return. Not everyone who 'mines' has 30+ cards in some uber rig in a basement somewhere.
Besides, the limiter is for the Ethereum algorithm only.(of which I have no doubt will be bypassed in minutes anyway) so people can just swap to different cryptos in the meantime. Ethereum is going proof of stake soon too, so this whole drive against mining it is almost completely pointless.
This whole limiter thing is a publicity stunt only.. it will do little for supply (there is a silicon shortage remember) and certainly won't stop big miners buying up the cards.
It's such a waste of time, and it's sad that some people are eating it up as if they actually care about 'getting cards into the hands of gamers'
What's even worse are these so-called crypto cards. Miner's won't buy those as they'll have next to no resale value and if they do then once the next gen comes out they'll just chuck them in the bin. Well done nvidia, way to massively add to the growing e-waste problem. At least with normal cards they can be re-sold and with a re-pasting will be as good as new and some gamer will get a good card for the fraction of the price of new. Watch gamers moan when the 2nd hand market dries up completely and their only options are buying brand new cards at an absolute premium.
It's so short-sighted.
wow.. didn't realise how much this was annoying me
58mh/s, when a much cheaper 3080, would get you over 86, until the limiters been broken, which could be by now
That's just completely untrue.
