Why does bitcoin increase the price of graphics card
of course, it's the South Campus of Xingang West Road
subway: get off at Zhongda station, get in at the south gate, go straight and see that the motto is 100 meters left, then it's the bus: get off at Sun Yat sen University Station
All kinds of turbulence in the graphics card market can not be separated from the mine owners. Most people think that the reason why the graphics card is so expensive now is that bitcoin is too expensive, which leads to more and more mine owners and less and less graphics cards. In fact, there's a little bit of difference here. Bitcoin's market is soaring, but it's not bitcoin that uses more graphics cards for mining. It's a similar thing called Ethereum
So the mine disaster that we are looking forward to is likely to happen, and there will be a large number of graphics cards waiting for you. But I hope you will calm down. The owner of the mine will also make decisions according to the market. The later the price is, the lower the quality assurance will be. I would advise you to wait for the recovery of proction capacityIn fact, the reason for the rise in the price of graphics cards is still related to the virtual currency market. Nowadays, many people have been moved by the rise of bitcoin. From the virtual currency that no one paid attention to at the beginning to the rise of one currency per suite, more people are going to mine. This kind of mining requires the configuration of computers to meet the basic requirements of these network operations, Especially for some mid end and high-end graphics cards, the price increases are very fast
in fact, according to my opinion, bitcoin computing does not make sense to choose high-end graphics cards, because some intermediate graphics cards are enough to make the bitcoin calculate . If you blindly choose and blindly follow the trend, it will only make the price of graphics cards fluctuate in the upstream, which also increases the cost of your own mining, In the end, the loser is himself, so there is no need to follow the trend to speculate in the price of graphics card. This will only lead to competition and gain, but also bring a lot of trouble to others
1. Bitcoin is booming, and the graphics cards necessary for mining are rising. They all want to take advantage of this opportunity to "dig" more. When the miners are crazy, the graphics card is also crazy. Some of them directly go to the manufacturer to sweep the goods, and some of them focus on the second-hand graphics card market. The price of the graphics card is pushed up by the miners. No one knows how long the market of this bobbit will last
2. The world is still affected by the epidemic, and the chip OEM capacity has not fully recovered. Not only graphics card, but also mobile phone and automobile instry, some factories even shut down or rece proction. In terms of advanced manufacturing processes below 10nm, both TSMC and Samsung have nearly full capacity at this stage. Most of the proction capacity is allocated to apple and Qualcomm. NVIDIA and AMD are allocated very little capacity, and the capacity recovery of graphics card will be later than other instries
3. There is also an objective factor. Some time ago, the performance of new graphics cards was improved, but the official price was cheaper, resulting in a large number of users replacing them. NVIDIA's rtx3080, launched in September, has twice the performance of its previous generation, but is 40% cheaper
to put it bluntly, there are few shipments, but there is a lot of demand. If you buy it now, it must be a part higher than the official price. However, in the later stage, the epidemic will be effectively controlled in the world, the price of bitcoin will fall, a large number of mine cards will return to the market, and the proction capacity will keep up, the price of graphics cards will return to normal, which will be a good time. It's not bad for students with strength to stock up a little.
