That's their main issue. So much time and money spent making a huge number of SKUs. All of which require minimum purchase amounts to make then profitable. And when they don't sell they are left holding tons of inventory. Its a terrible business model which is ultimately at the root of all their...
I stopping buying resold GCs a while ago. Too much risk as people will often buy GCs with stolen credit cards and then try to resell them. If you buy one, make sure you plan to use it quickly
Amazon has basically the most generous return policy of any company out there. Lots of people thoroughly abuse it. Not suprised they are cracking down on some.
Most 120 outlets are on 15a circuits which is going to start running into issues if you have multiple 1000w draw computers on them.
How long until we’re putting in 240v, 20a circuits for computers.
This is hugely irresponsible. This zero day was known last month and these agencies should have shut it down until the patch was installed. Our company had to do the same thing as we also use moveit. We just did it as soon as the exploit was made public. It's a SQL injection attack that gives...
Yea, they are most likely dumping them for break even or slight loss. Their is nothing that is going to raise the price like crypto. And rumors of a price drop could hurt them further.
Price was always way too high. The fact scalpers thought they could get more than $1300-1400, which would barely break them even after fees is some poor judgement.
NVIDIA will likely continue to hold back inventory to sell off 30 series. Probably going to be 6 months minimum before the prices start dropping on these cards. Outrageously priced given the market.
True, but it's using around 500w under load and close to 700w if overclocked. 15A circuits should max at around 1440w for continuous load. Add in monitors, cpu, etc and anything else plugged in on that circuit and you could run into issues.
Exactly, that is sort of the whole point when people having to voluntarily purchase your product. You get people to do that by providing a product people want to purchase which is done by making it good.
Biggest issue is the looming ethereum proof of stake change which is going to prevent speculative investments in hardware. Sure, other coins can be mined with GPUs but etherum is the VAST majority of it, and if 20% of the ethereum computing power were to move to other cryptos it could...
For sure. Plus you're talking about making blocks for sometimes a single card or a monoblock for a single motherboard. EK has a selection covering a huge number of devices. More that competitors.
No issues here with a 3090 block and active backplate. However, using the correct size Phillips head is very important for small screws and easy to mess up because other sizes can work but have a higher chance of stripping. Wish they would not using Phillips altogether though.
You say they haven't been innovative but I've seen plenty of innovative things. Their FE blocks, flat reservoirs, active backplates, waterblocks with no visible screws, distro plates, etc. Yea, all quite expensive but so is optimus.
Really happy with my 3090 fe block and active backplate. Not a huge fan of their fittings though after using them. They could make the connection between their compression fittings and their zmt tubing be much better than it is.
Oh for sure, but power and temperature keeps increasing but space on the backside of the card does not. At least on the front side you just keep eating up more slots to allow for additional cooling.
I can see that point, but by my math, Eth prices would need to be well under $1k to be unprofitable.
Daily output according to whattomine for a single 3090:
Output: 120MH/s
Energy: 300w
Revenue: 0.001677 eth
Power cost: $0.80 (7.2 kwhr @ $0.11)
Eth cost: $3k
That would make breakeven eth...
Still doesn’t make sense unless your long term view of ethereum is that it is going to 0. Profitability in USD is determined when you sell, not when you mine.
This isn't even remotely happening. There's thousands of people scalping cards. There's no cornering of the market on literally millions of dollars in GPUs.
