Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby!
Looks like tariffs have now hit gpu prices. Zotac, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI all raised prices $30-$150 from what I can see. Not sure on EVGA. Hoping they assemble either in the US or Taiwan and don't have to raise prices. Should be in line for a xc3 gaming 3080 from their que soon.
I picked up a Gigabyte Vision 3080 at a Microcenter while visiting family. Gonna be adding it on Wed. I really don't want to void the warranty and replace the thermal pads.
It does match the rig I am putting it in. Moving a 5700xt and a 5700 out to an open air rig. I think I could add 2 fans on the bottom that I removed when I added the 5700. Hoping I don't lose to much in throttling.
If I can grab a 3060ti or 3070 I have a rig with a 1660 ti and a 1060 6gb that I will sell to offset some of the upgrade cost.

I saw some news about TSMC ending discounts to largest customers and raising some prices due to offer-demand and their production is at 100%, add this to the world situation of Covid, shippings are more expensive, people are buying a lot of hardware to work from home, mining is hot again and soon we'll see higher prices on almost every piece of hardware
Asus already said here about the increase of MSRP: https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-officially-increases-graphics-cards-and-motherboards-pricing
So, it's better to buy right now because it looks like this year will be very expensive to buy hardware and gadgets
Nvidia will launch 3060 6gb - 12gb, and 3080 super - ti, imagine the price os these cards
I think I read that the 3060 12gb will start at $449. Supposed to be faster for gaming but with a smaller 192 mem bus than the 3060 ti.
I wonder how it will hash? 45mh? 50mh?
