The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is an Ethereum mining monster: overclocked cards deliver nearly 100 MH/s, double the Radeon RX 5700 XT

I hate crypto-mining and crypto-miners.

They jack up the prices on GPUs so that they can earn money generating greenhouse gases. You're bad people, and you should feel bad.

Well, get fucked bitch a**.

Behold, the genius of the moronic enlightened cryptocurrency rube advocate.

All jokes aside, as it's only pushing twice the rate of a 5700XT (which apparently outperforms the Nvidia competition at its price level) then the obvious option would be to wait for an RDNA2 based card, which will double the execution resources and more than likely cost less than a 3080.

That, or you could just not get involved with wasting a bunch of power on the crypto scam at all. That would definitely be the smartest thing to do.

Seriously?

Why would you put an article like this up?

You're fucking "Notebookchat.com", why are you talking about what the 3000 series GPUs can do in ETH?

Just stop, get some actual news, and stop fucking over gamers who want these cards and now will be less likely to get them JUST because of articles like this.

Seriously, don't affect the market just because you can. That's absolutely pathetic.

hmmm, but a Radeon VII makes OC 95-100 mh/s
so it`s nothing new - so why should this be a Eth mining monster?????

Given the power consumption, no sane miner is going to look at this card if the quoted numbers are accurate.
The 2 generation old GTX 1070 ti can pull 31 Mhash out of 110 watts, and the GTX 1060ti pulls 25Mhash+ at more like 80.
The efficiency of this card is NOT very good at all, though the price vs hashrate is good the cost to RUN it is somewhat prohibitive.

This is no "monster".

This is just an Nvidia marketing gimmick to sell (pre-order) as many cards as they can before AMD releases their GPUs. These cards blow, because of power consumption. And miners should be ashamed of themselves to even continue with something that is just consuming power and will not have any real value in the future. If you're a miner, what good is cryptocurrency without electricity? Invest in tangible, if global civil unrest continues. Your crypto will be worthless... >:D

Here we go again with this shitty retarded words. All the businesses have consumed so much power and you are talking about like crypto is the only one here? The comment in this on is full of braindead slaves. Think about all the servers to connect to the internet to serve some content for us. You guys read only bad stuff about crypto and think it's the only one that is making the earth bad. "We are bad people" hypocrite. So are you and rest of the humanity too that use too much power and read the news that says "google has lots of green energy" and whatnot. You know you can mine your crypto with green enegry too. You fucking idiot.

Finally someone who gets it. I was starting to go insane listening to all this trash.  Wake up people - crypto is here to help us. And make us rich.  If you don't understand crypto, then just do everyone a favor and just be quiet...less noise is less mental pollution for the noosphere. And its apparent how concerned you all are about pollution!

A tip: don't let your big brains get in the way of ape'ing your way to life changing $.  Then you can take off your commie diapers and buy your card just like everyone does...on the free market. The one for FREE People.
