All of the PPD!

 

Honestly, at that price it's a huge flop considering 2 3080tis can match it's MH/s for $2,600.

Doubtful, cut down core. 70 vs 108 TM's and 4480 vs 6912 CUDA cores. Agree with BWG, why buy it?

 

Also this is a big problem.

user feedback revealed that the GPU comes with a locked vBIOS so overclocking or undervolting are off the table.

Interesting, only benefits I see over something like a pair of 3080 Tis is lower power, cooling, and space requirements. But at that price difference, it's probably worth the drawbacks of two larger cards in most cases.
