ASRock Expects GPU Mining Demand to Drop Later This Year

[Rithsom]

Maybe they are trying to please both crowds? Not exactly sure...

 

[freeagent]

Cool! If the second hand market floods this guy still won’t buy one.. not because I don’t want a GPU, but the lengths miners went to to get these cards in their rigs knowing they were fucking all of us.. while gloating about it too.. nah. You can keep it. I gave up on 3 series. Dead to me

 

[ppn]

It has already happened. No new cards are being added to the pool.

In Poland the prices for 3080 started to finally drop - instead of 2,5k €, now we have to pay 1,8k. Still a long way to the base 800-900, but getting better.

The miners had their fun, now it's time for us gamers to have fun once more.

That being said, we should not wish death upon them, but rather wish that they live to suffer the imminent pain.

It was a quote from South Park, not to be taken literally.

Thankfully, I got a rtx 2080 super awhile ago so don't need to upgrade anytime soon. The only game that requires the next gen gpu and I want to play is probably cyberpunk. I'll probably get the new gpu when they are finally at retail price whenever that happens.

Even the base is absurd...that's the absurd thing.

I am starting to see a lot of cards starting to pop up on the second hand market. Don't buy, make em sweat!


Oooo, just dug this little article out, yes, yes, this is good, gooooooood! Muhahahaha:

Nvidia GPU prices in China fall amid crypto mining crackdown

Asus’ flagship RTX 3060 card was reportedly down to 4,699 Chinese yuan ($730) on Monday from its peak price of 13,499 yuan ($2,100) in May.

*in Mr Burns voice* Excellent.

Who cares. This mining craze needs to end.

Or does it? Any reason why it should end? Most people wouldn't care about miners if GPU availability was good.

Nope, still would, if miners want respect, they can mine something like Banano, which is a fold@home crypto, doing actual research and development, something worthwhile. BTC is, slow, expensive to move, at least gold and BTC now share the same traits as a "store of value" lol, one just being digital and using a lot of resources, anyways, BTC is a dinosaur and it needs to go the same way as the dinosaurs.

miners dont mine BTC for the most part. It is ETH. Now many are jumping to alternative algo's. Huge drop in overall hash rates has to do with Chinese miners shutting up shop and moving assets abroad.

Is it really? 700$ for 3080 FE version, which is the same price as of a standard 2080 2 years ago. Old GTX 680 was going for 500-550$, but that was more than 8 years earlier - is 30% price increase really that much when talking about over 8 years of inflation?

Funny how three articles up here they are pimping out a crypto motherboard...

Does it really matter what others mine? To each their own. I personally find it fascinating that anything like cryptocurrencies actually took off and that you can still create your own currency if you want so (even if it will be worthless).

 

[defaultluser]

Asrock stating the obvious.

But, its better to have sanity this time-around than millions of stock needing to be liquidated

We we wont see a complete crash, the need to buy ETH to stay in the market means owners will have to sell those GPUs (or hope they can wait arounf until the next proof-of work coin breaks into profitability)

There will be a simultaneous fall in mning retail demand, and an influx of used GPUs to lower gamers purchases.

Whales are gonna whale and we will see our asses as usual.

Oooo, we've got a buttcoin specialist

Nah, just someone keeping an eye on things, I want to buy a GPU after all, the whole market as a whole lost another critical support level, best not to look at just one thing, but everything:

Normally people would suggest that "if you had just put your GPU money into crypto and wait for it to double you would have your money to buy the said GPU" the irony is, if you do this, crypto goes up, and then the prices of GPUs increase, then it didn't help anyway.

These predictions are just speculating. Nvidia said the shortages would end in the first half of 2021. We see how that turned out but sold prices have dropped a little on Ebay.

Uhhh...I get what you're saying but unless I was mistaken he was talking euro's....which even 800 euro's on his lowest end of the scale he HOPES it gets back to is like just a nip shy of 1000 USD...does that sound reasonable for not even the top card in your lineup? Now it's not even the 2nd to top it's the 3rd fastest card Nvidia makes for consumers.

 

[InhaleOblivion]

We can only dream that they're correct. I've never purchased any GPU above MSRP, and won't start this year. Just thankful I upgraded to my 5700XT right before COVID hit hard.
