Now that bitcoin is dying are graphics cards selling at RRP yet?
- dragontamer 4y agoGraphics cards have come down in price severely, but are still well above MSRP / RRP. But BTC never was a big deal for graphics cards particularly. IIRC, Ethereum was the most profitable GPU coin. (Even if you were paid in BTC for mining through NiceHash or whatever, most miners would immediately sell for USD anyway to pay for electricity costs).
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoFor my company I needed something with CUDA cores, got a 3070 Ti for $100 over MSRP. I could live with that. Coming down, yes. Back to normal? Not until 2024 I bet.
- mpfundstein 4y agoyou know how nvidia feels about using the RTX for commercial applications (e.g. deploying a server with rtx in a datacenter), right? :-)
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoReminds me, I need to make sure my WinRAR licenses are all up-to-date.
- vidarh 4y agoMost BTC miners moved to ASIC based miners many years ago.
- throw_m239339 4y agoPeople today aren't mining BTC with mass market graphic cards, but ETH and other currencies.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoThe price of those other currencies seems to somehow always be directly related to Bitcoin, so you are right GPUs aren’t used, but the claim still stands.
