Do you guys think that manufacturer has control over the supplier and where their cards goes?


P.S why no one is bitching on Nvidia for selling FE card to miners?

Still, on the plus side Nvidia has listened/seen an opportunity to make more money. And they are bringing out some mining cards: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/cmp/?ncid=afm-chs-44270&ranMID=44270&ranEAID=kXQk6*ivFEQ&ranSiteID=kXQk6.ivFEQ-EtNSyyBe.rcbawMPwxaACQ

Probably just in time for the bubble to burst or a big exchange getting hacked. :D
No miner will be buying these unless they offer a tangible advantage over a gpu. A mining card doesn't have any resale value so why would any miner buy it? I remember they made mining cards last time crypto took off but they didn't sell much at all.

I know what you mean but I'm sure there will be other new miners/noobs that would still snap them up even if they don't have the same value as your everyday GPU. Obviously that market would be a lot smaller though... I'm just trying to give all the GPU hunters around here something to cling on to.. :o Luckily my 1080 still handles most of the things i throw at it. (And I'm skint lol) I'll wait for the 40x0's and 7x00's to come along. :D

Saw something yesterday where the worlds gaming cafes / cyber cafes are finding mining more profitable than their business before. Pictures of cafes with cages of 3080's set up. That's where all the gfx cards went. To burn the worlds leccy producing precisely, nothing.
Exactly intrinsic value of nothing. :p
