I usually miss out on these things, but I'd been monitoring the eBay prices rising for inferior cards and figured this was a good bet.

Annoying thing is finding a good motherboard to put multiple blower cards in. Mining rigs are a steal but PCIe x1 limitation is annoying. Got a bunch of Volta cards too sitting around until I figure out where to put them (and the performance per watt sucks next to the 170).

> I told a friend about how I bet an unlock would come and decided to buy them when I heard about an unlock.

What an idiotic idea. The price was low because the unlock didn't exist. They won't be selling at the price you weren't buying at after the unlock was discovered! Even 8GB would have been useful if you wpuld only waited for Strata to become a thing.

I'm not saying this to you, I'm trying to punch myself in January knowing about possible 64GB rumor and just telling people about it just like you, into retroactively buying it all by posting it here. Just why, me. This has been a great way to be salty about it for a whole year...
