So JPM for the W

C u in a week nerd

Cost of the data center lease as well, c.130$/kw/mo (kw of IT load)

I got 3 30 c for September at 6.32 each. I’ll buy more if it dips again but I think we bottomed out.

> That's a ridiculous comparison though -- the 1080 was a commodity card that cost $800 new. The 3090 and 5090 were intended as prosumer specialty cards at $1500 MSRP and $2000 MSRP (which you can't even find them at). If you wanted to compare apples to apples you'd need to compare the 90 series to the titan from the 1080 era. When you consider inflation since then, it's really not that much of a difference. >I have a 1070, 1080ti, 3090 and the only one that struggles is the 1080ti and like many of the cards of that era, it's because of thermal issues with the vram. You can replace thermal paste/thermal pads. When you consider datacenter chips are like $30,000+, it's worthwhile to have techs to repair them. >Thermals don't just show up one day and kill your card. They just keep your card running a few degrees hotter than it should and over time, that slowly wears out lots of different aspects of the card. It's more the temperature fluctuations leading to fatigue than the temperature itself(unless its above safe levels). A card that constantly cycles between 35 C and 80C several times per day is probably going to die before a card that runs at a constant 85 C. Gamers are seeing temp fluctuations(when they open/close games, loading screens, etc), AI chips used for training are constantly running.

1. According to the Steam hardware survey, more people are running the GTX 1080(non-TI) than the RTX 3090 or the RTX 5090. 2. Most people that had the budget to buy a 1080 TI will have upgraded by now. And not everyone likes to go to the hassle to sell used GPUs. A lot of us just stick them in the basement as a backup. I still have a GTX 1070 that still works fine, that I continuously used until 2 years ago when I upgraded to a 4090. And I used that thing for heavy usage like crypto mining, AND the card hard lousy cooling(ran at 83 C under load with 95 C hot spot). My brother has a GTX 1070 that still works in a small form factor case.

The impact of power density is really just a question of cooling. If these GPUs are constantly fluctuating from 40 to 95 C, that's likely to cause failures. If they are running much cooler like peak of 70 C, that's much less likely to cause failures

And shave them too :C too many people with dingleberries

Ask JPM they probably know. Algos maybe too. Tbh I can see them forcing a “dead” year for BTC since it literally rejected start 2025 price 5 times since mid November
