    Yeah lol last time I needed a new GPU because mine died, it was pretty much the peak of Ethereum mining. I was doing lots of freelance motion graphics work at the time and needed something beefy but all these guys were buying every high spec card that came out, in bulk, to mine ETH.

    Really hoping my 3090 doesn’t suddenly burst into flames in the next few months… fingers crossed.
