On Tuesday, Jaxson Davidson, who claimed to have four years of cryptocurrency mining experience, posted photos of his mine on Twitter and claimed that neatly arranged racks were filled with Nvidia mining cards. In fact, Jaxson Davidson has put the ETH hashtag on almost every relevant comment before. And the internal photos exposed this time only cover the fourth cryptocurrency mining facility he owns.
This cryptocurrency mining facility seems to be located in the Tonaquint data center in Utah, which is favored by many miners. However, sharp-eyed people saw the suspected Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 (Founders Edition) graphics card in the screen.
Many netizens later questioned that Jaxson Davidson purchased a non-LHR RTX 3070 graphics card from Nvidia through a “special channel”.
However, Jaxson Davidson quickly clarified that he only purchased the CMP 170HX mining card through official channels. All other RTX 30 series graphics cards are collected from small businesses (not retail channels) at a price increase. The cost of a single card is expected to be US$1,200. about.
However, in the context of global chip supply shortage, the majority of gamers and enthusiasts still want to ask where so many popular models of graphics cards are obtained.
Although unable to dispel everyone’s anger, Jaxson Davidson still said that he plans to resell at some point in the future. As for the dedicated CMP mining card procurement channel, it revealed that it would take more than a month to ensure a direct supply agreement with Nvidia.
In addition, Jaxson Davidson replied to netizens about the heat dissipation of the graphics card when mining Ethereum (ETH) and Ravencoin (RVN).
Finally, for consumers who have been on the sidelines for a long time, the risk of taking over second-hand mining cards is still too high. The embarrassing thing is that waiting for the global chip supply chain to resume normal supply from the pandemic, it is not known when it will wait.
