An image has surfaced showing a mining rig with 78 PNY RTX 3080s.
While the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is absolutely an amazing graphics card, it’s perhaps more well known at this point for just being a pain to get your hands on. However, not everyone is having the same amount of trouble. A post over at Techarp shows a mining rig with 78 PNY RTX 3080s, which is 78 more RTX 3080s than most people are able to get their hands on right now. That’s $54,522 worth of graphics cards at retail price. On the off chance that this miner didn’t use a bot to scoop all of these cards off of retail sites, most RTX 3080s are selling for around $1,199 on sites like Ebay, so at the most we’re looking at $93,522 worth of hardware. Even after expenses, this is supposedly enough to turn a profit before the year has turned out, so this does help to explain why these graphics cards have been so hard to come by in recent times.
