If you think that is bad, look at the RTX3090 - list around £1400, yours for just £3500 on amazon!

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 review

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 is a mighty big BFGPU, but can it justify its pricetag?

I think I'll be giving those a miss, for now..

I though that they implement something that will block mining when mining is detected. Can flash byppass it? If its firmaware based

As I understand it they have only just implemented that - with two versions available (bitcoin mining or not).

The limitation announcement only mentioned Etherium, not Bitcoin. Also, it's not like they are against crypto currency - NVidia is launching a new line of Cryptocurrency Mining Processors - NVidia CMP. Now they can price GPUs according to end use and get their share of wallet. Salesman: "Sorry guys, the RTX 390 isn't working so well for mining, but this CMP model, at 5x the price, is perfect for mining"

What funny is a friend and I were about to dump 200 on a defective one of those exact GPUs! We thought we could fix it and resell it.
Glad we didn’t get it I don’t know what we were thinking!
