Nvidia; 🙈 🤑 🙈
Long->Short; guess where going to have to take them apart and clean them with an Ultra Sonic machine before using them 😡
Nvidia has some pretty aggressive and creative ways to keep there prices up. My (total) guess is there's some type of backroom benefit to flooding a small part of the market and have tons of initial bad reviews/articles about how used mining GPUs are not worth buying.
Personally I got a used HD 7950 after the O.G. crypto crash, guy was totally transparent and told me he ran it with custom bios to maximize it's Hash rate for about a year and a half. I got that card to clock 1650MHz ! ! with a bios volt mod and liquid metal (when it was some weird new thing, had to clean up and reapply every 6 months to a year). Anywho!!! Let it rest at 1450Mhz and ran perfect for YEARS
