    Question [WTFTech] 3050 6 GB possibly coming

    Is the 1650 the best slot powered card available right now? I wonder if this is supposed to replace it. Hopefully this is a $150 card, we could use these at work and I'd probably pop one in my daughter's beater HP to replace the current 1650.

    Starfield CPU & GPU limited, once again DX12/Vulkan fails to deliver

    Speculation that Starfield is extremely memory/cache constrained. Wasn't Fallout 4 also very memory dependent? Knowing Bethesda their "new" engine is just duck tape and bailing wire on their age old turd of an engine. No clue why they won't either develop something decent from scratch or pay for...

    Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    I watched that last night which led me to popping in here and seeing what's up. I'm on a 5900X and a 4090 at the moment, I'll probably hold off on buying a new CPU/MOBO/RAM until Zen5 is released. Curious to see if AMD makes meaningful changes.

    Discussion EVGA exits video card market, terminates partnership with Nvidia (GN, JayzTC)

    I mean, it's not like MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte couldn't do the same. Very interesting. Hopefully it shakes things up at NVIDIA a bit but I doubt it.

    Question FPGA mining may make GPU mining obsolete.

    Doubtful given it's likely to embolden China's push into Taiwan which would/will be horrible for us all.

    News Nvidia 3090Ti Sneak Peak at CES

    Single sided GDDR6X should be nice, especially if there's some head room on mem overclocking and temps are more reasonable than with 3090s.

    What I don't get is the EF would make insane amount of $$$ and be able to fund Ethereum development easily in perpetuity under PoS if they staked the treasury. I'd think that there would be more motivation. I understand a lot is at stake an up until ~ late 2019 the merge wasn't even possible...

    This. Very easy to gain major control over a new PoS coin without some kind of bootstrapping like Ethereum did. Even then, it's not like PoW is perfect and without it's flaws in regards to distribution and accessibility. I wish there were CPU only algos that saw widespread adoption for PoW, that...

    Yup. Low voltage, low clocks, memory OC. Up until recently I had a 6x reference 480 rig from July 2016 still going and sold the rig because I was moving. I still have some 580s going from May 2017. Only thing I've done to them is replaced fans once and thermal paste once. Still chugging along no...

    Solana is simply more centralized than Ethereum and always will be. Even just client diversity is infinitely in Ethereum's favor with 7+ PoS clients and plans for over a dozen in the next 18 months. Ethereum isn't perfect, and there's plenty of valid criticism to be leveled at it, but Solana...

    A rollup-centric road map in the long run will be more secure, decentralized, and have greater throughput than Solana. Growing pains on the way there for sure, but far more scalable than the short term game plan and impossible arms race that Solana is pursuing.

    Only if the hardware is available. If it's only in the hands of a select few it "kills" GPU mining for the 99% of miners, and kills network security in the process (which would be a short sighted move by cartels). Ethereum's network currently has ~ 916 TH/s so assuming this hardware can't be...

    The anti-crypto thread

    Due to EIP-1559 Ethereum has had significantly reduced inflation and post merge to PoS will likely be deflationary. There's a good chance that Ethereum never has over ~ 120M ETH in circulation. Sounds like you primarily hang out in Bitcoin circles. Vitalik hasn't played much of a role in...

    It's a bit more complex and nuanced than this. As someone that follows the space closely, especially Ethereum, I think many will be surprised with how the next year goes for Ethereum. Yes, progress is slow, but it's moving forward and the merge will happen sometime spring/summer of next year...

    Difficulty has climbed steadily, but Ethereum's current algo Ethash is fairly ASIC resistant due to large DAG file and being memory bandwidth constrained. That said, Ethash ASICs do exist and many believe they started coming online heavily in late 2020. That's pure speculation though, I don't...

    Not even close. With current block rewards and the burn rate from EIP-1559 implementation I doubt it hits 120M by the merge. It certainly isn't going past 125M, let alone 200M.

    The anti-crypto thread

    Isn't it using shared/unified memory? I can't imagine it having the bandwidth necessary to mine effectively. That 3080 speed claim is pretty suspect and has to be in non-memory intensive tasks. Unless it's got an unbelievably wide bus, I doubt it would fair well. Looking forward to more info...

    That's assuming they don't accelerate the timeline, which it sounds like every client team wants to. From what I understand all the heavy lifting was done some time ago so there are no technical barriers to proceeding like there were prior to the launch of the beaconchain. It does seem like...

    Exactly. Mining after the merge is effectively dead and yes, a massive GPU sell off with occur. I'm planning to slowly unload my GPUs starting a month or two out from the merge. Latest news is that the client devs are a whole lot closer to the merge than most people realize.

    Question RTX 4090 Rumored to cost 2999.99

    Do we even have a ballpark of when the 4000 series are supposed to be released? Agreed. I doubt that the 4000 series is released before the merge to PoS and the market will be flooded with used miner GPUs the second the merge occurs. 4000 series will still probably be expensive just due to...

If Ethereum proves to be a solid long term play then I could easily live off of staking rewards alone. Since inception ETH is following BTC closely and looks good...

    Ha! I did the same in 2013 for like $12-$100. Dumped almost all around $100. Would have been 25M today... yeah, unreal. It's all good, it paid for my son's birth and stay in the NICU. He's my 25M miracle baby.

    "The problem with Crypto is, everything is unregulated".

    That's what most of my friends have done since 2019. If I had gone that route my net worth would be like 10% of what it is today if I was lucky. Long term mining and DCAing without selling takes discipline and diamond hands but it pays off in the long run.

    Limited supply on exchanges, reduced miner compensation via EIP-1559 fee burning is a small factor, high demand for ETH for NFTs, DeFi seems pretty stagnant at the moment. Arbitrum successfully launching is probably a catalyst as well.

    Men are statistically vastly more prone to risk taking than women. It makes perfect sense for men to be heavier involved/invested in high risk investments like crypto than women who are drawn to safer investment vehicles.

    Yep. I think "normal" (new GPU pricing and availability), if it ever happens, is likely 2023+. Fabs are tapped out, demand is high, and that's not going to change overnight.

    That's what I've been saying. They aren't going to lower their prices, even in 2022' when miners flood the market with used GPUs. NVIDIA didn't drop prices in 2019 with the 2,000 series, they bumped them, mining was all but dead and a minor factor since 2,000 series mined poorly. People can...

    I wouldn't consider an over 200 day break even just for the GPU "extremely profitable", especially with only 240 days or less of mining left. In under eight months GPU mining is dead to never return.

    Every mining gimped LHR NVIDIA card sells immediately, you're out of touch if you don't think there's massive demand from gamers.

    Crypto will have next to no impact on GPU prices moving forward. Ethereum will move to PoS by Q2 of 2022' and no new crypto projects use PoW. GPUs will still be expensive though unless TSMC, Global Foundaries, Samsung, and Intel massively increase their fab capacity, demand will still outstrip...
