I braved the cool fall weather and stood in line for a few hours to get myself another graphics card. This time I was able to snag an Nvidia RTX 3070 EVGA XC3 LHR model. I had my sights on a Founders Edition 3080 or 3070, but those were reserved for the people who literally camped out the whole night. No thanks!
The card was supposed to run on Raven using my B250 mining expert board, but once again I was not able to get it running. So rather than mess around for an entire day I threw it into an Ethereum rig. I will play with the LHR unlock tool for another video and see how that goes! For now it is running on full nerfed crypto mode. Better than sitting in a box doing nothing!
