Perhaps I should go back to my roots then and only buy amd from now on
Edit: oohhh, it does not concern the 3090 apparently, at least according to that statement.
I Agree. AMD has taken the opposite approach as Nvidia in their support of the mining community. While Nvidia is looking to demonize and alienate casual miners for Nvidia's shortcomings, AMD supports them. My Polaris RX 580's hashing at 31-32 MH/s @ 115W each make them just as relevant for mining today as they were in 2017 when they were released. When it became apparent there was an issue with the Polaris line up losing ~10% hashrate every month from the growing DAG file size, AMD quickly developed the blockchain drivers to address the issue before it escalated and continues to implement it in their current drivers with compute mode. Now that it's apparent that Nvidia's Pascal lineup from back then also has the same problem, nothing but crickets from Nvidia. My few Nvidia Pascal cards are no where near as efficient today as the Polaris cards despite pulling almost twice the power and running much hotter., so I have switched to all AMD cards. Many large mining farms that were started during the 2017 bull run still in operation are still using Polaris cards.
ive had the opportunity to see some really large farms and i was always surprised at how they were completely amd and i had to be the genius to buy nvidia... amd cards were running hot when i did initial tests but that was before i found out about oc's
the issue with amd however is with eth 2.0 comming they will become useless... whereas nvidias are still able to rely on other income streams...
