Internet porn uses more electricity than crypto mining. The banking industry uses more electricity than crypto mining. Literally, nearly anything that can be described as an "industry" uses more electricity than crypto. The US government is going after crypto because people having sound money...

The xx60 series cards have been for people who want to run games at mainstream resolutions (i.e. what the Stream hardware survey says most people are using) at medium-high quality since before you needed two xx's to indicate the GPU generation. If you were super poor, or just extremely casual...

Add the A2000 when they have them in stock? I saw a couple at St. David's a few weeks ago.

Unless Samsung has tech nobody knows about, but is still making DRAM instead of using their time travel machine to kill Hitler or whatever you're supposed to use it for, nobody will actually know how it stands up over time for a few years. The cards are being assembled incorrectly, the thermal...

If it weren't for the fact they're using thermal pads that turn into silicone grease fountains and barely keep GDDR6X below 90C when they are put in the right place. It'll be interesting to see how the "it's fine if it stays under 110C" claims about GDDR6X pan out in a year or two.

Even if you're stealing electricity, and can't max out the amount of electricity you have available to you, there's literally no reason to be running GPUs at 100% power limit mining. It just uses more electricity/generates more heat and doesn't mine any faster.

Well, you should probably let the reviewers know they're publishing worthless benchmarks, then. And, uh, I did look at the Server and Workstation section. 7% faster with 50% more cores. Super impressive results. You make excellent points.

According to the review on this site, the desktop version of RKL is better for Visual Studio, Photoshop, After Effects, machine learning, and several other things. There's also official ECC support, workstation/server boards and chipsets, etc. There's numerous use cases where these are really...

What are the thermals and power consumption like with RTX active?
