Vietnamese retailer shows off multiple cryptocurrency mining rigs powered by Nvidia's enterprise-grade GeForce RTX A4000

[Redaktion]

Cryptocurrency miners have now shifted focus from gaming GPUs to enterprise-centred models. A PC parts seller from Vietnam is showing off dozens of mining rigs that use eight Nvidia's RTX A4000 workstation GPUs. Each machine can reportedly mine Ethereum at 500 MH/s under the right conditions.

A4000 is not GeForce it is Quadro. The level of articles are lower and lower everyday.

"it is better for gamers if workstation-grade hardware gets thrown into the meat grinder"

GPUs are GPUs- if the enterprise can't get them, then they may easily go for consumer models given how normally this kind of hardware is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than consumer Geforce (scalped or not, it's affordable in their eyes). Sure, datacenter restrictions limit its use, but nothing stopping researchers from using regular GPUs for single workstations... A terrible take, to put it lightly.

Actually they are almost same price now and have more RAM in most cases double and are tested in continues workflow - like what they do now. And BIOS is not restricted for mining.
