i remember when i was able to pick up an r9 280x and r9 290x for ~100 a piece after the first crash. those where high tier cards at the time too. maybe ill get a rtx3080 or rx6800xt after all.
280X was never high tier, it was 3rd rebrand of 7970

7970 -> 7970 GHz Edition -> 280X

Mining cards perform ~10% lower than non-mining cards, unless you replace thermal pads and repaste the GPU maybe, I'd personally never buy a former mining GPU, not worth the hassle and they can die any time, which is why alot of the new mining cards only get 3 months warrenty. Consumer cards are not meant for 24/7 operation.

YES YES! Let us all rejoice! Sing "HALLELUJAH"!! :laugh::roll:

There are a lot of people that are going to panic now. Phew, I am glad I sold near the top, if a MEME coin like DOGE is near $1, people should know the end is near. I tried to warn people in the crypto reddit and got downvoted for my efforts, well, get REKT!

Almost 1 Trillion Dollars liquidated within the span of 2 days, the most, in the last 2 hours. INSANE!

All I wish is that I had a big red button to blow it all up, and zero everything. I would press it slowly, savouring every millisecond of it. :pimp::D

There will be other obscene ways found to make money while still overheating the whole planet doing so.

I don't get why people are upset that gpu keeps warm your room :D :D :D.

Too fast to burst in happiness. Need to wait few days.


I'm waiting for ethereum to reach in future more than 20k or 50k euro and then I'll sell them, mmm, muņē.

I pity those that will think this is just a normal correction and buy back in, which they think is the bottom, it is happening right now, catching falling knives. Ouch!

Honestly don't understand why cryptocurrencies allow for mining. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the # of coins be limited and un-minable to increase their worth. Glad that the market is crashing. Now, there will probably be an influx of used gpus coming.

any hardcore miners want to buy my rx 6800 for 800 bucks? i have a feeling I am going to get a 6800 XT below MSRP soon LMAO

this is exactly why i never gave into the temptation to buy into it last few weeks, even though I wanted to. that's usually how it goes. when everyone and their mom starts buying in to it, the big dawgs decide to cash out over night and live the good life with fiat :D

yacht club whales... mmm yummy fiat yachts, sailing on the open seas!

There are, it's just that BTC and ETH are the most well known and their users are, to say the least, fanatical... they bash anything better than their crypto technology.

Give it 5 to 10 months and we can have GPUs, just on time for 40 series.

It's recovering, for now, but broken support becomes resistance, so yeah, we will see what's going to happen, by the end of the week we should know with more certainty, but so far, it looks like the bubble popped.

Maybe I got happy too fast, but I just want to buy a GPU lol.

what a surprise, a shady enterprise locking things up as soon as it starts to head south... while at the same time pretending they are the wild west and can't be regulated fully!!! LOL

Yes sir! Those greedy scalpers / miners need to be punished.
