nVidia choose to use Samsung's 8mm node and obviously the yields are not good or the large die itself is very demanding and they just can't get enough of these cards manufactured. The nVidia shareholder statement shows about 6% of their sales went to crypto dedicated channels. There's probably more cards in the hands of narcissistic Youtube "influencers" than went to mining.

Stupid behavior on AMD's part saying there would be plenty of supply for the new RX line also didn't help.

Both launches look like absolute failures on the part of their logistics and deployment teams. The engineers can only do so much.

Yeah and if big miners were really sourcing huge amounts of cards hashrate would go way up.

we had a nice rise in mining profits for eth mining ⛏.

So after a five month runup of mining profits we finally got back to the alltime hash rates.

Which means the new cards are not going to anyone. If we had 15% more hash rate then 300th profits would still be solid.

so 45th is 10 x 90 mh = 900mh x 5 = 4.5gh x 1000 = 4.5 th x 10 = 45 th.

or 10 x 5 x 1000 x 10 = 500,000 nvidia 3080s could easily add onto the hashrate.

They are not

if hashrate was 345Th vs 300th profits would still be good.

So the miner demand could easily be 500,000. 3080 gpus

or a mix of 500,000 -750,000

nvidia
3070
3080

amd
5600
5700

cards could easily sell if amd and nvidia had them to sell.

As a miner I love waiting for the new gear ⚙️.
reason 1 I am making money and the market is bull at this date.

Btw I have decided now it the time to sell all my

my
nvidia
1080tis
1660tis
1660s

even if I can’t get replacement
3080s

I can get
amd 5700s
amd 5600s
