RTX series and GTX mining eth
The graphics card market in 2017 is the most special in recent years. In the past few years, no graphics card will increase its price by 100% a few months after its release. RX 580 has achieved this goal. Together with all the graphics cards below 3000 yuan, it has broken through the premium point in an irresistible manner. All this happened with the bitcoin price breaking through 3000 US dollars. After miners swept the RMB 2000 RX 580, the price of low-end RX 560 and even GTX 1050 Ti increased to varying degrees. However, is the price directly proportional to the ability of hash algorithm? Recently, we did a test to collect the new generation of graphics cards at various prices on the market, test the mining speed of Ethernet and bitcoin, and see which card has the highest cost performance
Different from the thousand yuan market, this wave of mining tide has a great impact on high-end graphics cards. In the test results, RX 580 and Rx 480 have almost reached the bottom of GTX 1070. Moreover, the price of Rx 580 is even competing with that of GTX 1070, so the miners directly swept the 3000 yuan market when GTX 1060 3gb / 6GB is out of stock, and GTX 1070 is basically out of stock. The more advanced GTX 1080 is also out of stock, but it's not clear whether the players are forced to go directly to the high-end card or the miners extend their claws to this market. The situation of GTX 1080 ti is only slightly improved, but it's not much better. However, not everyone can afford the 6000 yuan graphics card. Only the top players will be affected, but it's just a narrower choice. It's not the case that the rich can't buy itsummary:
to mine, the first choice is the graphics card with more than 3gb video memory, which is the basis. In addition, the core frequency will affect the mining speed. We have two GTX 1080 cards on hand, one is public version, and the other is MSI GTX 1080 gaming X. the operating frequencies of the two cards are 1885mhz and 1936mhz respectively. After testing, because of the frequency, the latter will be about 4% faster than the former in actual mining. The advantages of high-frequency graphics card are highlighted
So Xiaobian's opinions and suggestions are as follows:the low-end card and the old architecture card are not suitable for mining. GTX 1080 ti is an extreme, with the most powerful performance, but the price is not suitable for large-scale procurement. The mining speed of a card with the same location is much faster than that of N card, The cost performance of GTX 1060 3gb is higher than that of GTX 1060 6GB. The frequency and the number of stream processors / CUDA have a great influence on the performance of the card. The size of video memory has no influence on the mining. It's enough. Different video cards will have different profits if they dig different coins. If you want to further explore, you need to test several currencies, Limited to space, we only select two representative currencies to test
as long as the mine disaster does not occur, the shortage will last for a long time. However, if there is a mine disaster, a large number of second-hand mine cards will directly enter the market. These cards are always running at full load and full speed, and their service life is greatly shortened compared with that of ordinary users. Even if the price is lower, they will roll over at any time, There is no need to start at all. Moreover, the second-hand market will be directly disrupted. At that time, it will be difficult for some normal users to get out of the second-hand market, and the deep-water fish's Dragon killing knife will explode the galaxy. Now it is said that NVIDIA is making some graphics cards without display output interface, which are provided to miners as mine cards. With a certain capacity, if the mine card still can't satisfy the miners, won't the miners buy the graphics card in the consumer market? The only function of these special mine cards is to prevent mine cards from flowing into the second-hand market, which can not alleviate the current shortage of graphics cards

1、 Different architectures
GTX: GTX graphics card is a Pascal architecture graphics card
RTX: GTX graphics card is NVIDIA's nvdia architecture graphics card< Second, different characteristics
GTX: the performance of GTX graphics card is stronger than that of Rx graphics card, which leads to more rable GTX graphics card
graphics card RTX: RTX Series graphics cards have very powerful ray tracing performance
3. Different identification prefixes
GTX: GTX is a graphics card model prefix used by NVIDIA for many years, but to gtx20 Series graphics cards, such as 2060, 2070, 2080 and so on
RTX: those with this logo are NVIDIA NVIDIA's graphics cards, also known as N cards
in NVIDIA graphics cards, the code "GT" has been used since geforce
6800 Series in 2004, which represents high-end or enhanced graphics cards, such as 6600GT and 6800gt. After 7800 Series in 2005, the code "GTX" was introced, which directly represents high-end or top-level graphics cards. After entering the gtx400 series, there was the name of "GTS", which symbolized the middle and low end. Later, there was no "GTS". All the independent graphics cards were collectively referred to as "GTX", which only used the following number size to distinguish the performance level. Up to now, gtx1000 Series graphics cards have continued this way of naming
for the GTX prefix that has been used for many years, NVIDIA has finally changed in the latest gtx20 series. The high-end 2080 and 2080ti are collectively referred to as "RTX", where "RT" stands for ray tracing (short for ray
tracing), which means that rtx2080 graphics card has very strong ray tracing performance. As a matter of fact, ray tracing technology itself is not new. However, e to the huge demand for computation, it often takes several hours or even days for traditional computers to render a picture. However, the "Turing" architecture adopted by rtx20 graphics card introces RT computing unit, which makes its ray tracing performance six times higher than that of the previous generation of graphics card, and has the conditions for real-time processing of game light tracing, NVIDIA thinks that this is an epoch-making evolution, so it resolutely changed the name of "GTX" which has been used for many years to "RTX".
