Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread!

[soothaa]

The way I would structure the power supplies is have one supply all the PCIe external power connectors on the GPUs and the other supply all the mobo connectors. As long as you turn on the GPU PSU first and turn it off last (or just leave it one - the cards draw hardly any power while off) you won't have any problems. Trying to supply half the mobo and GPUs with 1 PSU and the other half with a 2nd sounds nightmarish.

It's really not hard at all.. I've been doing it for years.

Phil - if you get a chance I would love to see the internals of the thermaltake box.

How cool has it been running in comparison to the other rigs in the room?

Did you mean me?  Right now mine is open, so temps are fine.

No I was asking about the Thermaltake 13 GPU box he got from whatever the company was to try out.

I am on a NDA  for internal shots

[TheYankeesWin!]

Phil what is the card sales status?

[philipma1957]

Phil what is the card sales status?

I sold 7 1070tis  about 600 to 615 each

I am about to sell 2 more.

I need to check inventory.

I think they may be sold out at this point.


I will sell more stuff but they will not be  the 1070ti's

I think I have 2 of these

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6278-KR

I would want less then the 1070ti's  they were 540 + 30 to  ship = 570

I would take  570 for one and 1100 for 2.

Note these are two eight pin  power jacks per card.

Yeah, this is really a crazy situation. Again, both AMD & Nvidia's demand forecasters severely screwed up
 

 Not a fair or accurate statement.
 There was NO WAY they could have predicted a SECOND massive price jump on almost all cryptocoins in the same year would lead to a SECOND huge wave of demand.

 The situation is not helped by CAPACITY LIMITATIONS at every 14/16 nm production line, to the point ALL of them have been running flat-out since they got up and running at ALL.

 Nvidia in particular had no reason to expect as massive a demand spike as they got - traditionally AMD gets the bulk of mining sales, but THIS TIME AROUND it was Nvidia that got hammered FIRST.

I see your points, but I think these companies are mostly clueless regarding crypto. Corporations are slow to adapt, and I think they haven't acquired the expertise to navigate this market. I don't see how Nvidia got hammered first btw, AMD was completely out of stock before Nvidia.

Hey I am good with it.  Selling 2 month old cards with a reasonable markup insures a profit for me.

[sNaKeyz0r91]

What are your opinions about 1080ti founders edition? I can choose from Gainward, Asus and Gigabyte.

Also, I could get a close price for palit 1070ti or evga 1080 watercooled? Which one would you choose to build a rig from above (1080ti founder, 1080 watercooled or 1070ti)?? I will do it with risers.

Thanks

 Not THIS time around.
 Nvidia was pretty much out RIGHT after Christmas other than "huge markup gougers" on anything higher than the 3GB 1060, AMD still had quite a bit of stock left at "pre-Christmas norm" pricing for over a week past that point before THEY got into the same position on RX 570/580 cards (Vega has been OUT for a lot longer, likely due to continuing issues limiting production on HBM 2 memory).

 I don't understand it myself, unless NVidia had a HECK of a Christmas season while AMD's was only so-so, or Nvidia is already shifting production in the initial ramp-up to the Volta consumer cards that I anticipate being announced in late March (yes, there can and USUALLY IS that much lead time on getting chips out of a foundry, getting them distributed to manufacturers, and getting the cards themselves built and some "launch stock" built up).

I agree that in my opinion, they are focusing on the Volta and not producing enough of the current gen.

Looks like that. Regarding out of stock, I couldn't find any AMD this year but had no problem buying 6 x 1070ti, so I guess my experience was different.

Yeah, ancient history, my point is that I paid $490 for the 1070ti's (not a good price, but not crazy reseller either) when the AMDs were already hard to get for a reasonable price for me, not to talk about Vegas, I bough those on December and never saw them again in stock.
I haven't seen absolutely anything to buy these days. I had 8 x 1060 ordered for $284 + tax ($312) on Amazon, but I cancelled them later, since I think it was too much to pay for 1060s. Now it's waiting time...
