Who would buy an 11 year old card which uses a lot more power, when you can buy a new card with warranty, newer features and less wattage at almost the same price and performance?

It would be great for the environment if people bought used components more, but you know most people gonna buy new so they won’t worry if their recently bought card is gonna fail.

I personally own a GPU bought from a miner, and never had any issue, apart from repasting it.
