GPU Shortages Will Worsen Thanks to crypto Miners

"Rising cryptocurrency prices could be disastrous for anyone in the market for a gaming GPU."
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gp...iners-ethereum

But Bitcoin is harmless. It just destroys planet earth and fukks over several markets. How is this sustainable exactly?


How is this sustainable bitcoincels? Do you support this? Mining equipment is a big WASTE since it is energy being spent to keep a pyramid scheme alive.

And yes, most don´t use gpu´s to mine, but asics, but that is even worse actually. It´s probably some other POW coins that use GPU mining. Point being is that POW sucks and ruin the planet.

btc is already mined. There will be no more. It's all the a55holes trying to cash in on the fad that make their own coins that is causing this.

Depends what your tastes are. I really want to play Alyx and its mods.

That being said the only new game I'm looking forward to this year is coming to Switch so...

No it isn't but there is a finite amount and it will become more and more expensive per BTC.

The GPU market is absolutley fooked right now

Supplies are expected to remain grim for both AMD and Nvidia cards in Q1 2021 and Nvidia's AIB partners have decided to raise prices on all RTX 3XXX series cards by a whopping 10%

Look here you nitwit

BTC is not seriously mined by anyone with a GPU but ASIC miners instead bc difficulty is sky-high.

GPU availability could only be impacted by other (inferior) mineable coins. Coincidentally, the coins you allege to own since your an anti-BTC *******.

Lmao at being this much of a moron that you make an anti-BTC thread with no evidence.

Spoiler!

Glad I got my 3090 then.

I can't help but wonder how this is gonna impact the "next gen" (RTX 40 / RX 7000) GPU launch. Will they increase initial stock and availability by a ton? Are they going to delay next gen's launch since everyone's gonna be fiending for current gen parts for a long time?
