Make them fight. To the death! If the 3070 dies you get space invaders, though.

Oh you mean what i do in this setup here?
But its a 3070Ti + 6600XT system.
Because you know only stupid gamers would get 6700XT and not a 6600XT.
Serious Note:
That is a GPU Validation Setup.
Yes its a mining setup, however i use it to stress test new GPU's to make sure they validate before i send them off, or keep them in other systems.
I was validating a 3070Ti + 6600xt for 2 separate GAMING PC's and doing a little bit of mining while at it.
The plastic on the 3070ti is still on.... lol...

Please tell me you let them try to melt each other with instances of Furmark.
Ethereum down to under $940. That's getting to a level where even 15c/kwh it's starting to get close to unprofitable for something like a 1650 Super.

i don't think you can even mine eth on a 1650 super...
Hashimoto requires a 6GB card min.....

Maybe, but I think eth will keep dropping to the $200ish mark.
At that point I will start asking myself if it is time to speculate. Eth after all has a future with PoS if it can survive this. Which I am hoping it will not, seeing PoW crash will scare everyone to PoS, which would be for the best.
Turns out like tens of millions of GPUs have been made in the past less than two years, they just mostly went to miners. So redacted gold as a store of value, and redacted proof of work, we should've left the block chain back where it started where pacific islanders just recorded who owned which giant redacted stone and just kind of agreed on that.

or even an original Ageia PhysX card, not to mention a voodoo card for glide support.

Don't know. Same message in Graphics Cards, so I offered $400 for the lot
What's the saying about failure/crash? Slowly at first, then all at once.

Guys if your a gamer getting 2nd hand cards remember LHR is your friend...
LHR means the card was not able to run at full clock, or the LHR would kick in for ETH mining.
So they usually ran the card anywhere from 60-70%.
So in serious, all you need to do is pop the LHR and run furmark for 15 min as if the card has problems it will be on the memory side, and memory side artifacting happens right away.

Honestly, mining for 2 years shouldn't kill a card. My experience with electronics is they die in a month (or right out of the box) or they never die, with some rare exceptions.
We've had people running distributed computing on their cards for years (Folding etc), people that power their card up and down regularly (wear and tear from starts and stops), etc for ages, people that leave their computer on 100% of the time etc.
My bigger worry with this gen is that since many cards were manufactured during the pandemic with supply issues and manufacturers likely subbing substandard components to meet orders, people will get more NIB duds, or cards that would have worked for 20 years will now only work for 10-12 years.
