Графические процессоры начали дешеветь на фоне снижения курса ETH - Bits Media

GPUs (GPU) began to gradually fall in price against the background of a decrease in the rate of ether and the complexity of its mining. However, GPUs are still priced at nearly double their MSRP..

In July, the cost of GPUs for popular video cards decreased slightly compared to June. This is due to the ongoing decline in the cryptocurrency market. In May, ether was bargaining above $4 000, but the return of his course below $2 000 significantly influenced the profitability of ETH mining.

By
data Bitinfocharts, The profitability of the production of ether fell approximately on 80% Compared to the May maximum 2021 of the year. The complexity of ETH production has decreased almost by 8%, Therefore, interest in mining using GPU also gradually falls. Together, these factors “push” users to buy graphic processors, not intended for miners of cryptocurrencies, And for gamers.

Earlier, an increase in demand from the altcoin miners led to an increase in GPU prices. As a result, the NVIDIA technological giant was forced to limit the hashrate of the video cards RTX 3060, To save them for gamers. However, NVIDIA did not immediately deal with this task.

According to
Techspot data, In June, the increase in prices for graphic processors decreased on average by 16% From the retail price, recommended by the manufacturer (MSRP). In the middle of this month, the price of some GPU varies within $200-$500. but, despite the decrease in their value, The price of many graphic processors still greatly exceeds the MSRP indicator-on average on 92%. For example, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is sold for $1 012, and its price for 153% exceeds the recommended retail price in $400.

Actually, GPU is still twice as expensive, What makes them "inaccessible" for users, non -mining cryptocurrencies. This applies to the new, and to used equipment. Nonetheless, On Chinese sites of e -commerce, NVIDIA graphic processors began to be sold much cheaper due to a ban on mining in almost all provinces of China.
