Looks like it's time to level up the GPU setup. The 3080 Ti is solid, but if you're pushing serious hash rates or running heavy compute workloads, the performance ceiling becomes pretty obvious. Bottlenecks start hitting different when you're optimizing for that next tier of efficiency.

The 3080 Ti should have been upgraded long ago; the computing power ceiling is really annoying. Bro, are you going for the 4090 or just getting two cards directly...

The 3080 Ti does have a ceiling, but when it comes to Mining, the electricity cost is the main concern... the performance bottleneck is secondary.

The 3080 Ti should have been upgraded long ago. Mining at full load every day indeed causes lag... But do we really need to upgrade to the next generation? Electricity costs will skyrocket again.

honestly the algorithmic poetry of pushing hardware past its computational ceiling is where the real aesthetic emerges, but have you considered what the hash values themselves reveal about the topological geometry of your workload distribution?

The 3080 Ti is indeed decent, but the ceiling for mining/hashrate is right there... If you ask me, instead of worrying about whether to upgrade or not, it's better to first figure out the electricity costs clearly to avoid losing money.
