Topic: gpu bubble well and truly bursting - page 14. (Read 23737 times)

I just showed your statement about the AMD hash drop was factually wrong, just like the rest of the nonsense you keep running your mouth on like an idiot, without even knowing the basic facts about what you are talking about!

Yeah one good thing about USA is price for pc gear.  Lots of not so good things but a few good things.

... Only idiots [where you live] will buy them.

I agree with that. But in my country, we have to pay first for the goods.

I can order

3 x 1080 ti's for               2070 
1 x z270 mobo for             100
1 x 850 watt psu for          130
1 x 8gb stick of ram for       60
1 x cpu g4400      for           55
1 x usb 64gb usb stick for    20
1 x riser for  about              15

total  of about 2500

put it on paypal  six months to pay

have the gear by friday

mine  about 2200 sols for zec  earn  12 a day
spend 600 watts  or 1.50 a day for power  at 10 cents    this is 10.50  profit per day

no money out of pocket  and don't have to pay for 180 days.

this is not a burst bubble.  it is a deflating  ballon.

Your great math skills we know already (you finished ground school with them?) - just stay in your AMD bubble and wait till even the hardware is worth nothing anymore

Spoken like a true clueless Nvidia fan boy that's bad at math! You don't understand the epoch problem. I think you need to watch this video to understand what is going on with the RX 4XX/5XX epcoh hash drop.

Bottom line is the ETH epoch will be in the 160's by the end of the year and probably less if the block times keep increasing. By then if nothing is done to resolve the issue, the Claymore benchmarks show about a 25% hash drop by epoch 160, which in my own tests, I found the Claymore benchmarks to be overstating the actual hash drop from epoch changes.

The bigger and more relevant issue is at the latest ETH dev meeting last Friday, it was stated they have no plans to address the the increase in block times and difficulty due to the ongoing programmed ICE AGE before the Metropolis POW/POS hybrid release due by November this year. This means at the current price, ETH will no longer be profitable to mine for most people by the end of August once the difficulty retargets as programmed.

The ICE AGE affects ALL ETH miners, ESPECIALLY Nvidia ETH miners, since they are ALREADY much less efficient at mining ETH compared to the AMD cards that cost less than half. I get watching smart people that didn't over pay for their GPU's making more money than those that spent the same amount and are making less must suck!

Eth making its come back 

yes.

i guess he mean 0.2 btc

eth past 0.02 btc long time ago...

only if you could find rx 570 for $150 or so. Yes is better to buy eth for now. I think eth will reach 0.02 btc soon.

Is it still worthwhile investing in gpu rigs?, I'm more of the notion you have more to gain at buying either Btc or Ether and trading.

For how many days you have the 168 MH/s on ETH and by when you have 100 MH/s left? In few weeks?

 For around $2400 (probably a bit less), you can build a NON-RISER 3x 1080ti rig - use one of the Zotac shortie cards in the 3'd slot to let the middle slot card cool, and a pair of Gigabyte Windforce full-size cards for the other 2 slots.

 Ballpark 2200-2300 hash/s on ZEC and don't have to count on FINDING cheap RX-series cards that are commonly "LIMIT 1 per 48 hours" when you can find them in stock AT ALL for under $300.

 Expecting to find RX-series cards at $233 each is a pipe dream anyway at this time.

 The Gigabyte 3-fan Windforce model is frequently available at $699 on Newegg, and there's usually 1 or 2 other NON-BLOWER models at that price point on sale.
 I don't pay attention to the Founder's Edition cards as the cooling on those is fairly poor and they clock a good bit lower.

 Blower models work BETTER in a case in most cases, since they're blowing lots of air OUT of the case instead of just recirculating it.


 On the other hand, 2 x GTX 1080ti is overkill for pretty much all gaming - *1* can handle about anything out there at 60dps on a 4k display.

rx 570 and rx 580 are now in stock where i live however their prices were updated, from $230 to $330, that is almost 50% increase. Only idiots will buy them.

Bubble or not ETH is still making $8 a day for 4 470 that cost $800 total.

Bubble, bubble toil and trouble.

If it looks like a bubble, smells like a bubble, tastes like a bubble... then hey I'm gonna call it a bubble!

I'm anticipating prices and stock for these cards to come back to reality around December
