Looking for 3080 & 3090 cards

[FP91G]

China sell many knock-off GPU. BEWARE!

China so rich due to counterfeiting. Otherwise, China be 3 world country. Maybe worse.

Before buying video cards in China, look at the market prices of used PC components in your country. In China, it is profitable to buy only in bulk and your partner will do all the checks. It is faster and cheaper to buy one or more video cards in your own country. In mining, video cards are not so profitable, so there are many of them on the secondary market.

Unfortunately and to the delight of owners of AMD video cards, the kawpow algorithm is more profitable on red video cards. Green video cards on this algorithm have higher power consumption, and many miners will have no problems finding more profitable coins.

Yeah lots of new and pumping kapow algos to spec mine.  Power requirements are pretty high but for the winter time its not bad.

I wonder if AMD is the one that pump those coins.

Off course all of this Kawpow coins pump is suspect..

good idea
Most of the blower-style cards on the Chinese market are old cryptomining GPUs that are no longer profitable to use. Companies like Jieshuo are buying them in masses and giving them a second chance. As long as gamers know that these cards are old and have been used for cryptomining, and they are cheaper than similar GPUs on the second-hand market, then there’s nothing to complain about. Sadly, that is not always the case.

One of GPUs that has recently emerged is GeForce RTX 3080 20GB, which never released by NVIDIA, although there were many rumors about such a SKU being planned. The model was mentioned in internal board partner roadmaps, but it never made it to the marketplace. The reason why Chinese companies pick up RTX 3080 instead of 3090 already equipped with 24GB memory is simple, the RTX 3080 is much cheaper to procure.
