Biostar is really funny in it's PRs. Anyway, they are a little fish among sharks. We have to give them credit for trying. But it was funny in the past looking at every PR about a new motherboard also mentioning their 750Ti. I mean you where getting PRs that where months apart and in all those PRs, that same GTX 750Ti(same product number) was there, re introduced as something new that would have been a perfect companion with their motherboard(the real reason for the PR).
Anyway I've got the same PR this morning, so I know that this is not something that @btarunr forgot to post.

Maybe with all this RX480 PCI crap going around they had a idea to advertise this mobo again, so they banged out a load of emails to sites like TPU see if they can sell some due to it.

This board is from 2014, somebody linked the original article above. For some reason TPU have accidentally made a new article on it in 2016 (maybe nobody flagged it as completed or something lol).

My old apartment had free electricity included in rent, so in a case like that mining could be even somehow smart.

This neverending obsession for massive sales increases every year. It doesn't matter how saturated the market is or what are the trends, product and financial, they always want MOAR SALES. Every thing has its limits and sales are no different. Expecting them to keep raising to infinitiy is not just foolish, it's absolutely ignorant. And yet they still all do it.

Still, a 44% decline is something to worry about. I wouldn't blame biostar for being upset over that.
