I think a esport hotel is one of the most stupid buisness models that I've ever heard.

Would be really funny if someone planted a credential harvester on these machines...

    TBH I'd probably rather trade the opposite direction.

    Why? The 5080 just has a bad price and not a terrible card lol (if I missed something here then sorry my bad!)

    I've never played a game that struggled with a 3060 with 12gb VRAM, it runs great with my Linux distro, and the newer power supply cables from the 40 and 50 series have been prone to failure and in some cases melting.

    They'd rather replace the 3060 with a 5080.
