Waits for the inevitable, “Buyer claimed I sent a rock in a shoe box and PayPal refunded all his money”, thread/post.![]()
GPUs used for crypto mining lose 10 per cent in performance every year
Most of what he posts is bullshit.That article is bullshit![]()
Yup buyer will post a legit video of him opening a shoe box and finding a rock.Yeah, sold it on fleaBay. I had no idea their fees went up as much as they did. Also they took PayPal out of the equation and debit/credit your bank account directly now. Takes several days to process ACH transactions, of course. They hold the money until they get confirmation of delivery. I can see how it might protect the buyers more, but it sure is inconvenient for sellers.

Palit reps point to independent tests carried out on mining cards, which suggest that you can expect a 10% degradation in GPU performance for each year of service in a 24/7 cryptocurrency operation. Which seems like a pretty good yardstick to use when considering your options in the second-hand market; even if a given card actually works when you get hold of it, there's a good chance it won't be operating at its peak.
don't think I would buy anything off ebay now

Nvidia and AMD should just add detection to the drivers for mining and void the warranty by serial number after about 24 hours of mining
There is the point about self interest obviously but I would like to see this independent testing.
I'm more concerned of the potential lack of care in mining farms than individuals that may take more care.
For like a $200 GPU I wouldn't be that concerned about mining. But for a really expensive one, or basically anything right now with inflated prices, I would be a little bit wary.
