Cope, seethe, dilate. You thought you could mess with gamers?! Haha, not buying your burnt out gpus bags. Enjoy selling at a loss. Maybe try not destroying the planet next time we are in a CLIMATE CRISIS right now as you know. Perhaps we would have more sympathy for your massive losses but instead of choose to scalp pallets of gpus for 3 times MSRP out of your greed. And if you weren't scalping you were ether mining on overclocked gpus. I would imagine the tim and fan bearings are worn out. Most likely power delivery components on the gpu are near eol after 2 years of abuse. Imagine thinking anyone will buy your bags. No one is going to buy these gpus for anywhere near what you paid with next gen gpus only a few months away, and most likely there will be a glut of supply. Next time there is a global chip shortage try being on the right side of history.
modern GPUs basically last forever tho and you can also take them apart, clean them and change settings backs to standard.
the 7950 I mined Dogecoin with in 2014 is still working fine

My relatively new laptop broke and I’ve been using my old 2012 laptop since, I have enough games to last me a couple of years

I would be ok with buying a used graphics card ... for $0.
burnt-out is not a thing with electronics. what a braindead article.

"Teach them to leave our graphics cards alone in the only way we can, by making it as financially painful as possible to gamble on crypto the next time around."
yeah avoid a possible bargain at any price, consume sheep.
Rope yourself useful idiot, are you a PoC btw?
thermal cycling is more damaging then running at a constant temp (and voltage)

But you suffer from rotational velocidensity with HDDs.
Good cards only get to about 60-70 degrees at full load, plus they have passive mode, so the delta between idle and full load is not so big. So in normal use it isn't a big issue anymore. Running it constantly at full blast though? It will at least kill the fans, and if the miner is not smart enough to downvolt the card maybe the GPU too.
Obvious propaganda from Corporations. Fatass Amerisharts will eat it up without question, naturally.

>buy this defective card whose lifespan has been cut 80% from being abused mining at max efficiency all day for a year straight at MSRP! it's a great deal!
Nice try, schlomo.
>max efficiency
you do understand this literally means least power usage
[log in to view media]
What do you think max efficiency in the context of mining crypto means?
Not buying your bricked bags.
you should actually be permabanned for paid off-topic trolling
>What do you think max efficiency in the context of mining crypto means?
maximization of hashrate over power use you fucking n-word
actually max efficiency means the cards were undervolted so they are bound to be in better shape then if they were in a gaming rig
LMAO at all the angry crypto baggies itt.
OP should be permabanned as paid troll
It's a good time to buy a used GPU while the miners are trying to cut their losses. But you should do the research before you buy. Don't buy the overheating crap, don't buy the cheapest one, test it in the seller PC before you pay for it. Yeah, it's not amazon, but it's a 30-50% discount. And you don't need it to last you a lifetime -- only until you sell it to the next guy.
So what you're saying is that GPUs are non-fungible
It has actual uses other than reselling though
>It's a good time to buy a used GPU while the miners are trying to cut their losses.
my profitability measured in crypto is still about the same, I am going to mine for at least a whole year more
Is your electricity bill measured in crypto?
I can deduct my electricity costs 100% from my income tax, meaning I get more money from my job
Kek, the mining chuds are getting desperate. Their crypto bags (mostly ETH) and GPU bags are both going to $ 0
n-word I have years of warranty time left
Warranty void if you mined crypto, and they can tell.
what kind of a subhuman would think anyone would believe this
>gamers
>caring about the planet
You can replace the thermal pad/paste in GPUs just like you replace thermal paste with CPUs. Which typically is the fault point in burnt cards.

>buy nice desktop with 3070 when prices are "too high" for decent price

feels good, if you dont have a nice computer right now you won't be able to get one for the next 20 years
So NVDA and AMD calls ?

I bought a used rx 580 for 100$ in 2018 at the bottom, and I built my pc for under 250$ right before the covid shit
>destroying the planet
Next time you travel to a far away country, take a kayak instead of destroying the planet flying on an airplane
I used both my cards to mine hard for two years. Now I game with them, they work great. I don't get the fuss
It's just tech illiterate nocoiner seethe. A rational mind would understand that a GPU running at a stable power draw and stable temperature is more durable than a GPU rapidly changing temperature and power draw. It's not like I have multiple GPU's mining which I occasionally use to game. What do I know though?
its just retards.
stress the memory to check it for errors, replace dry thermal paste and expect fan replacements.
the card should be fine if it was kept in a healthy temp range for the workload.
