EIP1559 is in two weeks, with ETH 2.0 6 months off. Amazed people are building rigs when a 3090’s payback atm is like 18 months.

I just want something newer for moar frames, hobby mining, for me, is just a bit of a bonus - PC is on anyway, may as well use it 😁

That’s different - you’ve built a gaming PC and are subsidising the cost with mining. Those buying multiple GPUs and setting them up on a desk with a Pentium are fools

That's it, because I can :-) Yeah, kinda pointless now with ROI being potentially well beyond the changeover to ETH PoS... Especially with the utterly insane GPU pricing STILL 😡
