You get guaranteed entry to silicon heaven... I will also post a pic of a cake for each of you.Question?
If you reach 100, do you you receive an email congratulating you from The Queen?
Or do you receive a signed photo of RuPaul* as congratulations from A Queen ?
* This originally was going to be Danny La Rue but that would give away my age
I'm certainly more than old enough!Question?

I know, I can’t see me getting mine until mid March time, so will be well into the 100s by then.makes me feel sick seeing people on 98 days.. im just coming up to 80 now.. well over a month away for me
forget the 100 card, start looking for the 150 card, better still set up your own production line you will have 100's of customers
does the 3090 have a shorter queue?
I believe they were getting done faster (Probably because it's an extra £600 for not £600 improvement (In my opinion)) But not sure atm due to the Chinese New year. The 3080 is the most ordered card out of the 4 so I do believe all others are shorter but will still have wait times.
yeah agreed. Unless you work in 3d graphics or something it's absolutely not worth it to pay that much for 10% better performance and a bunch more vram (which again, you definitely will never need unless you're using it for graphics work etc)
Was tempted to downgrade to the RTX 3070 as it was going quicker but as I am so far into waiting for the 3080 and the 3080 is what I wanted so it's a good enough reason to just stick it out and wait. I'm lucky that my current PC is still fully operational (Feel bad for anyone with PC difficulties) and allows me to do my work and some gaming etc. So when my PC finally arrives with the 3080 it will be a nice upgrade
(But have no need for a 3090)
Interesting article indeed....this was the main point for all of us still waiting “It’s extremely unlikely that stock levels will return to something approaching normalcy until Nvidia can actually produce enough cards to meet demand. This could take months, even if the CMP range doesn’t slow it down further.”Intresting article on nvidias new approach to the 3080 situation new cpu,s to target miners and hamstringing the new 3060 to make it a no no for potential miners
Nvidia RTX 3080 stock disaster — here’s why there’s finally hope
Nvidia is finally tackling GeForce RTX 30-series stock shortage. But is it enough?www.google.co.uk
GeForce Is Made for Gaming, CMP Is Made to Mine
We’re limiting the hash rate of GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs so they’re less desirable to miners and launching NVIDIA CMP for professional mining.
We are gamers, through and through. We obsess about new gaming features, new architectures, new games and tech. We designed GeForce GPUs for gamers, and gamers are clamoring for more.
Yet NVIDIA GPUs are programmable. And users are constantly discovering new applications for them, from weather simulation and gene sequencing to deep learning and robotics. Mining cryptocurrency is one of them.
With the launch of GeForce RTX 3060 on Feb. 25, we’re taking an important step to help ensure GeForce GPUs end up in the hands of gamers.
Halving Hash Rate
RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent.
That only makes sense. Our GeForce RTX GPUs introduce cutting-edge technologies — such as RTX real-time ray-tracing, DLSS AI-accelerated image upscaling technology, Reflex super-fast response rendering for the best system latency, and many more — tailored to meet the needs of gamers and those who create digital experiences.
To address the specific needs of Ethereum mining, we’re announcing the NVIDIA CMP, or, Cryptocurrency Mining Processor, product line for professional mining.
CMP products — which don’t do graphics — are sold through authorized partners and optimized for the best mining performance and efficiency. They don’t meet the specifications required of a GeForce GPU and, thus, don’t impact the availability of GeForce GPUs to gamers.
For instance, CMP lacks display outputs, enabling improved airflow while mining so they can be more densely packed. CMPs also have a lower peak core voltage and frequency, which improves mining power efficiency.
Creating tailored products for customers with specific needs delivers the best value for customers. With CMP, we can help miners build the most efficient data centers while preserving GeForce RTX GPUs for gamers.
Just got to hope it makes it through testing, better get the new desk, chair and monitor ordered now
