I need to look into it further, obviously.

I won't clutter the deal thread anymore. Thanks.
Nothing wrong with asking questions, especially since more people being aware that crypto mining is starting to have diminishing returns will bring the price of these cards back to reasonable levels.

Most of the mining algorithms are designed to benefit from GPU architecture versus CPU architecture.

To equate it to something relatable think of the CPU architecture as the manager and the GPU as the factory workers. The CPU can "technically" do the same work as the GPU, but definitely not as efficiently.

In CPUs, each core has a thread allocation of 2 tops (one physical and one virtual if things like Hyperthreading are enabled). But generally speaking, all of the cores are designed to do a multitude of generic tasks.

In GPUs, each "core" is a smaller piece of potentially thousands of programmable cores all working in tandem to do smaller, but more purpose-built tasks that all add up to one larger task.

Mining basically leverages this in the same way worker ants operate.

Not anymore, unless you can get a buyer in the next month or so.

They're about to stabilize back to pre-pandemic levels.

Nvidia announced new cards for this year, so the 3000 series will take the place of the 1600 series soon.

Very well explained, thank you. I actually have a background in this area, but really have not stayed up to to date with it. As anyone knows in tech these days, if you are out of the loop for a few years, it's like being out of the loop for a few decades.

Great deal. Is this thing shuckable to put in a different case?
Everything but the PSU. However, the motherboard rear I/O doesn't line up with ATX cases and you will lose all front I/O accessibility (unless you don't mind opening up your side panel to use the Type-C port or SD card reader). Also, the Windows 11 license is bound to the motherboard.

Not really. Proprietary power supply, motherboard, and possibly Case front panel connectors. You could salvage the CPU and gpu, the ram, and storage. But you would need a new case, power supply, motherboard, and CPU cooler, at minimum. The higher end HP Omen desktops use standard parts, but these smaller Pavilion models and their small envy desktops use a mess of proprietary components, which sucks.

An Xbox Series S ($300), a Nintendo Switch Lite ($200), or an Android phone (deal for Galaxy S22 on discount through Google Fi for around $400) can all play Fortnite. This PC can do it much better but more expensively. Need to add cost for screen for the PC and Xbox.

iPhone or other devices can stream Fortnite for free from Xbox cloud or GeForce Now. Apple (and Google) and Fortnite maker Epic had a financial disagreement, so Fortnite cannot be downloaded to iPhone anymore, and needs to be downloaded from the Epic Games site directly on Android.

This can run Fortnite VERY WELL. You might want to get more RAM though

That part I get.



That part I don't get since just high-end CPUs will suffice, and they didn't have a shortage. Is there something I'm not aware of that a GPU can do, to mine, that a comparative CPU can't. Honest question.
its due to how the CPU and GPU are designed. CPU is very good at doing a broad range of things. GPUs crunch numbers, thats all the do and they do that very well. Mining is basically crunching numbers. so CPU Can do it, but its much less effective than a GPU. and when GPUs were cheap it was the go to. people just kept using it because there were setups designed to have dozens of GPUs for mining. no one developed a ton of CPU setups as they would all require motherboards, and ram, which add cost, and electricity to run that added GPUs dont.

Smh I remember people were paying this much just for the 3060 GPU late last year. 😂

Yes, this is an excellent choice, like others have said, 16GB of RAM would be advised.
