The market for modified RTX 3080s with 20GB of memory: a cheap upgrade or a hidden threat?

Technology 08/18/2026, 06:11
🇨🇳 Chinese sellers are massively offering modified GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards with 20GB of video memory for around $445. ⚠️ These are not new cards, but used models that have undergone makeshift "memory reballing." 🚀 Performance: The card easily beats the RTX 5060 Ti, and 20GB of VRAM saves you from memory shortages in demanding games. 📉 Risks: No warranty, unstable operation, and the risk of failure. 💰 Context: Demand is growing against the backdrop of the high cost of RTX 50 series cards. #RTX3080 #VideoCards #TechNews #Gaming #XABinfo

The Growth Illusion: How AI and SpaceX Investment Bubbles Prop Up the 'Magnificent Seven' Profits

📉 **Are the giants' profits an illusion?** In August 2026, it was revealed that 70% of Alphabet's profit and 65% of Amazon's profit are not from sales but from speculation on SpaceX and Anthropic stocks. 🔹 **Vicious Cycle:** Giants finance AI startups, which spend that money on the clouds of the same giants. 🔹 **Crash Risk:** 42% of the 'Magnificent Seven's' profit is unrealized investment income. If the valuation of SpaceX or Anthropic drops, corporate reports will collapse. 🔹 **Facts:** SpaceX shares have already dropped by 17% after the IPO, casting doubt on Alphabet's current balances. The AI market is held up by mutual investments, not real sales.
