Have you looked at supply, availability, features ?

What a mess.

And winter is coming (tariffs).

High end 10 series discontinued == not same feature set on 20
series Mid-range 10 series, product available (RAM amount is
some function of mining, still) Extreme low end, price too high.
No VGA connectors, DVI-I became DVI-D, must buy DisplayPort to
VGA adapters. USB-C connector on faceplate, as a power source
for the VR Googles you can't afford.

Cards too long to fit case. 280mm to fill 280mm hole (can't
wiggle card in). Mini cards... unavailable. Announced. No stock
of old card (discontinued). No stock of new card. Vacuum.

So wait a while... wait a while longer... wait longer still...

And so on. Become a waitabee like me. Keep waiting. Wait some
more. OK ?

When did Bitcoin crash?

I only hear about Bitcoin because I daily check FOX Business
news. A month or so ago they were promoting it. I haven't seen
anything about a Bitcoin crash.

Now I recall a comment on YouTube video about some dictator's
loss of investment in crypto currency. Searching Google, results
are no more than six days old?

You might need to wait more than a week.

Yesterday. Well, not really. Value dropped to half. Which is
normal for market manipulation of Bitcoin.

"Bitcoin Trading Volumes in Hyperinflation-Struck Venezuela
Hits Record Highs"

Bitcoin is used by the people of Venezuela to take the place of
their currency, as their currency doesn't even make good toilet
paper.

Note that Venezuela recently issued a new currency, and perhaps
that has something to do with it (drop in Bitcoin).

"August 24, 2018

On Monday, Venezuela slashed five zeros from its currency
with the release of the new "sovereign bolivar", equivalent
to 100,000 old bolivars."

lol
new, improved...

And now back to first world problems...

Anybody who wants fast video for flight simulation should consider
drone first person view (FPV)...

I bought X-Plane 10 and 11 flight simulators, but preliminarily
speaking... looks like FPV droning is more interesting. After doing
a lot of research and then wasting $1000 on crappy Wi-Fi FPV drones,
I am trying analog FPV for flight simulation. In my brief experience
so far, analog FPV for casual flying is not choppy as it appears to
be for fancy flying pros, and without the lag of Wi-Fi.

Very cool, IMO. First person view droning is more real than Bill
Gates' old "Real As It Gets" flight simulation. I am using
quadcopters. If a person has lots of space, I suppose fixed wing
aircraft would be closer to traditional flight simulation, if the
distance doesn't mess up the transmission. I suppose it can be
included on slow flyers.

An hour ago, I was able to hover a Rodeo 110 around in a small area
here using FPV. Wasn't easy, but it's much easier outside with some
space.

Check out the first minute of this video, it's worth your time...
