New card Surprise early delivery

Oke, but what does that have to do with the fact that the're buying up al the video cards? Why do they need videocards?
For all those computers solving problems? Why would you need a video card for an advanced calculator? It's not displaying anything.

 

Its the cards that do all the work not the CPU's the faster the card the more $$$$$ bitcoin it can produce, & get this, they don't even use the video output! Nvid even came up with a design just for bitcoin miners that did not have the video and is cheaper to try and curve the demand so users like us could actually get a card. and the bitcoin community rejected it! Why? Because the miners, once they have toasted the cards by doing billions & billions of calculations have a HUGE resale market where they resell the now used cards for a profit! So they say "why would we buy a card we cant re sell?" so the project went no where. I read all about this when tryin to buy my 3080ti that took about 4 months of daily searching..

 

A video card has more calculating power then a CPU???
So, if they're selling the cards again second hand, why is it so hard to get a video card. The market should be flooded.

 

Rumor has it , a company in china is buying them up and re packaging them as new (msi cough msi cough) through one of there ebay fronts .. They were already busted on one such occasion where apparently a truck load of pallets with 3 series nvid cards was stolen , so they say, but experts say in reality they were referbed cards from a bit coin farm .. charges were dropped ...

 

Damn, why don't those miners shove those bitcoins up their a*** so normal people can get a proper card!

 

Things are getting better . covid is one big reason as factory's and supply's came to a halt for almost a year & this stopped the chip manufactures dead in there tracks thus the shortage ..

 

This would be a good time to change hobby's. I think I'll join a chess club ...
