Why not make it PCiE 3 or even 4 x1 ? So it uses way less lanes anyways. This card seems to be pretty bad tho, if they make a specific workload GPU, why don't they just maximize the high end card?
Kaarme
They must be using the worst but still barely, if partially, working GA100 chips for this.

Just what we need, more e-waste.

I'd like to see that bandwidth with 16bg on desktop GPUs that would be epic.
I fail to see hat makes these appealing they're most likely going to be more expensive than a desktop gpu and once they're no longer efficient for mining they're garbage whereas a gpu can still be used for literally anything.
HawaiianBrian
Just stop with the mining hardware garbage already. What has mining to do with 3D ? As in 3D guru.
Are you now crypto guru?

If it does good then they couldn't sell million of GPU to "gamer" (i don't even think that share holder believe in this lie, lol)...
schmidtbag
If they end up on the used market for a good price (let's say $50) I would seriously consider buying many of these for a budget CUDA farm or BOINC server. You don't need a lot of PCIe bandwidth or display ports to do heavy number crunching.

Good to see Nvidia's priorities during a chip shortage.
DannyD
A corporation looking for profit?
reix2x
lol i kinda like the design, very plain and functional
DannyD
164 mh/s @250w? yes please.

This text has no sense whatsoever...
"major reduction from previous GA100 based mining cards" what previous GA100 based mining cards?!
"resulting in a hash rate of only 164 MH/s when utilizing the Etash algorithm, which is significantly lower than the industry standard." what exactly is an "industry standard hashrate" lol? also saying "only 164 MH/s" when 3080 is pulling max 100 tuned and tweaked...
"that ranged in speed from 26MH/s to an astonishing 85MH/s" if 85 MH/s is astonishing then how the hell double that is "only" (see above)
this site really needs some better editors
DannyD
Don't think the site needs editors, guru3d is one of if not the highest regarded tech sites on the planet.
I did raise my eyebrows reading this article tho.
Not that it matters cause crypto is mostly frowned upon here and the important numbers were in the pics.
*that being said fellow gurus are very patient with us hobby miners.
Airbud
the article was simply slid across Hilbert's desk and he posted it. he never gave it a thumbs up or thumbs down... we cannot hide real world facts.
But yeah, I do see your point.

nailed it. 😉;);););)
DannyD
Chip is not important, that HBM tho ..
tunejunky
with respect to Kaarme, yeah why throw away bad silicon when you can sell it at a premium?
but we'll see in relation to mining is whether or not Nvidia releases the mining cards first next gen. IF they do it will go a long way to not only easing crunch, but also allow them to claim a measurable gain in efficiency and "greener" manufacturing processes even if that's a bit disingenuous. and TBH, they know the number of passed over chips and for what flaws before release as they have a couple of months for shipping gpus to AIB, which is 6-8 months before release.
if that's what they're doing i hope AMD copies it.
RIVA128
It is e-waste and a waste of electricity, double the environmental load. The chips could have been made into proper graphics card products with whatever defects fused off as usual.
ZXRaziel
They cannot make enough cards to satisfy the demand , making record profits ….
Yes you make loads of sense here , pure logic haha
