why would you run you gpu over usb 3 and not thunderbolt?
Wyatt Mitchell
GPU prices are tied to profitability of mining, not the availability of mining mobos.
Hudson Myers
More GPUs per mobo = more profit
Hudson Gomez
well, the investment cost will be a little lower since you don't need as many motherboards/CPUs so it will be a tiny little bit more profitable with this rig. On the other hand, you can't probably resell it after mining becomes non-profitable except to someone that needs a GPGPU solution similar to mining coins.
Parker Powell
It's getting less profitable right?
Josiah Hernandez
I guess thunderbolt doesn't offer an advantage for mining rigs so they went with the cheaper option.
Dominic Edwards
all the cheap chinky pcie x1 extenders use usb cables, don't think they use usb protocol though?
Kevin Scott
Because it's not really USB. They just use the connector because it's rather sturdy and reliable even at distance, but the protocol used is PCIe.
