The second largest cryptocurrency will ditch GPU mining in a matter of weeks, if not days
The ethereum network just took a turn towards a more sustainable path.

I am excited for the return of affordable GPUs

Mega affordable, the market might be flooded soon. Crash city.
I blame Nvidia way more for this than AMD, but yeah, with crypto going bye bye in this fashion, it'll help a ton in terms of affordability.

Between this and pulling production back to the US, NVIDIA must be sweating.
Doesn't help when things are basically worded the way that they are. And it seems they are going to try to keep going with their stupid shit:

Yea. Nvidia has been manipulating their prices to keep their current generation gpus higher prices so the next generation can slide in at a premium.
The low-end with like the 3050 have been $300+ The 50 series cards could be like half that price at the end of a generation. AND is selling 6600 cards for like $240 which are miles better than a 3050 and the 6600 isn't too far off a 3060 performance which is priced $100+ more. You can get a 6600xt which is going to be about the same as a 3060 performance for like $50+ less.
Nvidia won't lower the prices because they want to present the 40 series cards at or above the current MSRP.
AMD cards have been the better value for many months.

Now here's to hoping that AMD really pumps up their next cards with some serious raytracing power.

Ruud becomes #1 if Tiafoe wins the tournament.
Ruud will be the first ever ATP player to reach #1 without winning at least one 250, 500, 1000, or major.
I am cheering for Tiafoe to make this a reality.

I was going to put $10 down on Ruud before the QF's. He was +1600 at the time. Nothing major, but would have made things fun

Grew up idolizing Rafa who chases down everything.
How he finished the match against Sinner was unworldly; didn't look tired at all after back to back long matches, still getting to shots he had no business reaching.
Oh to be 19 again, though.

I remember for a couple years expecting Zverev to be the next big thing, and he’s still really good and up there (and a garbage human). But Alcaraz is IT, baby. No one looks like the heir apparent of the Big Four like him.
But Tiafoe says, “Not yet.”

Alcaraz getting ready for another 5th set marathon.
This US Open has been silly good for the men and women.

John Sher is a terrible human being. Mutt Lange is just slightly less terrible. I was there, not enough words to describe what a shitshow it was.
