Also most cards are undervolted if anything to save on energy costs.
Like for example 1070 ti mining it's common to run it at 60/70% TDP, sure it gets used 24//7 with lowish temps, but hardly beaten into ground.

Yes, my 1080ti gets a harder time gaming than it does mining. Gaming temps today (hot ambient) are about 80c @ 116% TDP. Mining temp is 57c @ 65% TDP. Massive difference.

Oh jesus christ, that means 1070's and soon 1080's will be pushed up in price further by the miners. Really wanted to actually be able to buy one aswell.
Worth noting that will only affect 4GB cards.
Well if it makes you feel better there will be a surge of "lightly used" 4GB AMD cards XD
Won't impact RX cards for months, by which time ETH mining will be no more because it will have moved on to POS/POW and difficulty will be through the roof. There are other coins to mine, and while all alt coins are tied in value to BTC its unlikely to be an issue.
And anyway, all it means is that instead of a lack of one type of GPU there will probably be a lack of ALL types of GPU for gamers (which is already happening)

No,it affects 4Gn and 8Gn equally. It's down to the memory subsystem and bandwidth, not the memory size. The article is misleading
No, 4GB and 8GB cards are affected.
There's a Reddit link in the cooments of original article where various cards have been tested.
3GB and 6 GB 1060s are unaffected.
Read up, that informations already been discovered/mentioned
Not sure what you mean? You're the one said it......Read up, that informations already been discovered/mentioned
I didn't link directly to the Reddit article because there's normally loads of swearing
Somebody already posted that update a couple of posts before yours.
You mean D.P., yes I saw his post but you hadn't responded to it.
I'm not really sure what you're getting at?
I was just pointing out that the info you posted had already been posted two posts previously lol. It's a polite way of saying to read the thread before posting
)As I said I did read it. Some of the info was posted, some of it wasn't if you'd read the post and gone to the comments mentionedI was just pointing out that the info you posted had already been posted two posts previously lol. It's a polite way of saying to read the thread before posting
It's actually you that's being impolite in not responding to D.P. who had the courtesy to point out your mistake
Also I'm not sure why you're trying to start an argument as it was you that posted the dodgy information in the first place
