Nvidia To Release Mining Graphic Cards
When money is involved it is crazy to see how quickly things can change. The only reason why AMD really has been holding on so well in terms of stock price and value of the company was based on being able to mine cryptocurrency with their graphics cards. In fact go to just about any online store and try to find a decent AMD graphics card and you will see they are all on back order or just flat out sold out.
I figured it was only time till Nvidia jumped in on this and today I heard the news. Nvidia is about to launch graphics cards who's sole purpose is for mining.
Introducing the Mining-P106-6G from ASUS

What are the specs of this card?
The card uses special dual ball bearing fans to help reduce wear, breakdown and more dust-resistant. ASUS is claiming this card is 36 percent faster then an optimized card. The other important thing to note about these cards is there is no I/O ports.

The Future
I suspect the success of these new cards will start to drive a new industry in mining only graphics cards which might take on a all new shape and forming an entire new industry for chip makers.

Where are ETH miners to see this ?
It seems like ETH was the driving force to produce these types of GPUs. They most likely saw the huge success of companies that built asicc for bitcoin and now sing ETH is GPU only they want in on the gold rush
That's a very good thing to hear.
Thats great news for cryptocurrency minners
Great now I can actually buy normal graphics cards again
HAHA! I know right ive been wanting to get a 2nd 1080 to SLI but the cost of one is through the roof compared to when I bought it. I picked mine up for about $520 they are now near $1,000 !

STOPWoot!
Suddenly there is a demand for the mining rigs and some are pricing themselves right out of the ball park @bitcoinflood One really has to do their homework before mining on their own.
Yup sure do we ran into this a few years ago when bitcoin and some alt coins went up from a market cap of 10 billion to 40 billion.
thanks for sharing
Thank you for checking it out :) Enjoy your weekend
thanks! you are welcome !!
Do you know how long the guarantee period will be?
Would always be changing as more people mine and produce more hashing power to a coin it becomes more difficult to mine and your rewards will go down.
I have AMD stock should have got out after last earnings . And put in cryptocurrency hopefully i get another chance.
