Ethereum 3080

7. Recently, workers have been crying. The price of computer graphics cards has gone up too much. 6000 yuan without a display can't get the 2060, let alone the 3060. How can it be more cost-effective
as you know, with the rapid rise of the currency circle, the graphics card has changed into a "financial card", giving you eight words: "be careful to reload the machine" and bear the loss

1. What are the main reasons for this round of price rise of graphics cards

some people say that with NVIDIA's proction capacity and the price of virtual currency, you can't expect to have the original price card. It's not that the factory can't raise the price. People who are "mining" are waiting at the gate of the factory to increase the price directly. There's no reason not to sell it

in my opinion, the price increase of graphics card is mainly caused by insufficient chip capacity and the demand of coin circle mining<

1. Insufficient chip capacity

affected by the epidemic in 2020, the global chip supply chain is tight, and the capacity of graphics card chips is also insufficient, and the market demand exceeds supply, which leads to the shortage of graphics cards, the scarcity of goods is more expensive, and eventually the scarcity of graphics cards will soar all the way

2. The demand for coin circle mining is growing

just as Ethereum virtual currency rises from more than 800 yuan in early 2020 to nearly 8000 yuan by January 15, 2021, the main tool for mining is graphics card, which depends on multi graphics card calculation to obtain virtual currency. A mining machine needs at least 6 graphics cards, and at most 12 graphics cards or more

with the rising price of Ethereum virtual currency, Ethereum has huge profits. In order to get a large number of graphics cards, these "miners" are willing to increase the price to buy graphics cards, which leads to the shortage of graphics cards in the market< When will the graphics card shortage last

on February 24, the marketing department of jiahejinwei issued a "warning" about the shortage of wafer supply and the shortage of DRAM and nandflash chips for manufacturing memory moles and solid-state drives, which led to the rise of contract prices. Therefore, we can speculate that the price of memory will continue to rise in the first half of 2021, or there will be no price increase and no stock available
however, this is just a prediction. As for when the price increase of graphics card will end and how long it will last, no one is sure. If you want to completely solve the shortage problem of graphics cards in the market, there are only two situations at present:

the first situation is that NVIDIA and AMD official or chip foundry can increase the proction capacity of graphics chips, and launch professional mining cards to alleviate the shortage impact of mining on the market
or wait until the new card is released, the new card is not 3060 (2070), but 3050 or 1750. Anyway, it's a new card to replace the original 1650s and 1660, which are really entry-level sweet grade graphics cards. In particular, whether ADM can launch the new card as soon as possible to compete with NVIDIA

another situation is the collapse of virtual currency in 2018, and the prices of bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies are falling all the way
if you really want cryptocurrency to have a "mine disaster", then they must continue to plummet for a period of time, so as to cause greater reaction. The retail miners leave the market, and a large number of mine cards flow into the second-hand market. Fewer miners buy graphics cards, and more players will be left. Miners selling cards will graally lower the second-hand price, and graally both the new and second-hand prices will come down

I don't know from what point this outbreak will start, maybe now, maybe in the future

generally speaking, the price rection of graphics cards will be relatively slow this year. Even if it starts to fall sharply from now, the price of 618 may fall to the price of 30 series released last year when 618 is promoted in the middle of this year, that is, 3080 is about 7000, 3070 is about 5000. Of course, this is only possible, and the worst case is that this year is the same price< Third, the price of graphics card is too high. Is it worth buying

the increase in the price of graphics cards will undoubtedly bring more costs to the installation. For ordinary consumers, it is definitely not worth it, which is beyond doubt. Generally, we have the following choices for the current shortage and rising price of graphics cards:

1. Wait, wait, wait together! If you have a computer at home that you can barely play with, just wait for the graphics card market to return to normal

2. If you really need to install the machine, you can first configure the host computer, graphics card and so on. Start with the graphics card of the old computer or the second-hand platform, and use a graphics card that can meet your needs first, and then add or upgrade it later

3. If you are a local tyrant, or some professional work requires high-performance graphics card, and those game players have to play in this period of time, you can only bear to buy a card

generally speaking, you can't see the possibility of a significant decline in the short term. If you want to equip your own desktop, the cost performance is very low. The configuration that you can land on more than 7000 in peacetime will cost 10000 now. I suggest that you can buy brand computers from first-line manufacturers. Although there is a premium, compared with the current "wartime state", you can assemble 10000 or 8000 yuan brand computers with high cost performance
in short, e to its unique hardware architecture, GPU is naturally suitable for mining, which leads to the shortage of graphics cards in the hot market of digital currency. If the graphics card wants to return to the normal price, the restrictions of upstream manufacturers can play a certain role, but it mainly depends on the historical process. I hope the global economy can return to the right track and give the digital currency speculators less reason to speculate.

8. Want to brand with a computer, budget below 8000, graphics card must be 3080, how to match< p> Seeing this problem, I actually think the subject can go home to eat and drink, and then go to sleep. It's estimated that you can realize this wish in your dream. Let's not say whether this card can be snatched in the later stage, and whether the price will be wildly hyped. As for the 5499 cases given by the official, it's impossible to install this 8000 budget. You know, this card has just been released, It hasn't been officially put on sale yet, and the price has already been speculation. If 5499 can grab it, it will be burning high incense. Recently, there are some news on the Internet that some manufacturers have begun to sell 3080, and most of them are bought by mine owners for mining, because 3080 is more than twice the computing power of 2080 Ti digs Ethereum, which is destined to be a mining magic card, and the price is cheaper than 2080, In this way, for ordinary players, it is nothing more than adding insult to injury, so if you want to have a total budget of 8000 to 3080, you can basically only rely on dreams in the early stage

next, I recommend a more balanced configuration with 3080. In terms of positioning, 3080's performance is more than 2080ti, so it should be a flagship graphics card, and other accessories should not be too bad. If it's too bad, I'm sorry for such a good graphics card. As for the budget, I can't estimate it. As for 8000, it's impossible to meet it. The price trend can only be seen later, I dare not promise you now

the budget of this set is almost 8000, which is likely to be won. Now we mainly wait for 3080 to be officially put on sale, otherwise the price can't be estimated, because the price of different brands will certainly be different at that time. If the budget is insufficient, then we have to choose the second and third tier brands. I've written so much about this issue, please don't forget to praise and pay attention to it. Thank you

9. Limiting the mining capacity means that when the graphics card is running, the driver will automatically detect "specific attributes of Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm", and limit the hash rate to about 50%, which greatly reces the mining efficiency What is hash rate? In short, if mining is to solve a mathematical equation problem, then the hash rate is the speed of data processing per second.)
in general games, 3D rendering almost does not require a lot of hash operations, and NV only limits the hash rate, that is, it focuses on Ethereum, a kind of cryptocurrency, and has no effect on other cryptocurrencies that do not use hash rate as a mining algorithm. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the impact of mining restrictions on the normal use of the graphics card. With the introction of special mining machine and more restriction algorithms, the price of graphics card will return to the right track.
