Because it makes so much sense to dedicate equal or if not vastly greater resources to playing games?
- account42 6y agoGaming needs the same cards, but they are not running at max 24/7.
- snak 6y agoGaming needs more resources to solve a problem whose difficulty is increased to produce better and more accurate images. Mining needs more resources to solve a brute force problem whose difficulty is increased just for the sake of making the problem even harder to solve.
- smileybarry 6y agoNot even equal. A GPU running games can coast on 100W-150W usage, whereas mining can and frequently stretches it to full power capacity, e.g. 320W on RTX 3080. Not to mention that mining is 24/7, gaming is not. So no, not equal, not greater, in fact lower. And I think the Graphics Processing Unit should process graphics, don't you?
