The customer is always right. And at this point, the customer wants video cards for mining cryptocurrencies. At least this is evident from the current excessive demand for video cards that has emptied the shelves of technology equipment around the world. And this boyfriend and buoyant niche in the market, technological giants ASUS, NVIDIA and AMD have decided to meet the needs of both players and miners.
Asus Mining-P106-6G and Asus Mining-RX470-4G are the names of the new GPUs that lists the segments in the video card section of ASUS multinational technology hardware, where oil is "designed for coin mining with components High Efficiency - Achieving maximum hashrate production (a processing power) at minimal cost. " The graphics engine of the first will be GPU NVIDIA P106-100, video card of the comparative quality of its technical specifications a few weeks ago in CryptoNoticias; And the second, will be the AMD Radeon RX470, one of the most popular video cards today for mining, but does not specialize in this activity.
With regard to ASUS Mining P106-6G, ASUS has increased the MegaHash index by 36% over any other non-mining GPU.
Both video cards are designed to handle the high rates of heat and power required for mining to allow continuous operation 24/7 with proper cooling.
Due to the hype and high adoption rates that cryptocurrencies have had over the past year, the supply of existing video cards has been insufficient to meet the growing demand for cryptographic coin mining equipment. As a consequence, gamers who have suffered the maelstrom of miners running out of GPUs to install on their consoles.
However, this is not the first time that cryptocurrencies cause shortages in the video card market. The first massive demand for GPUs for mining took place in 2014 to mine coins like Litecoin and Dogecoin. However, this time it seems that companies are handling it differently. Being the so-called gamers the main customer of these companies - not to mention that high demand for GPUs for mining has pushed the stock price of NVIDIA and AMD in the stock market to unusual levels - it seems that they have decided to diversify their offer So as to keep all its consumers happy and take advantage of this huge wave of demand.
While there is no official announcement yet in the newsrooms of NVIDIA, ASUS or AMD, the publication of ASUS gives lights that seem obvious - and to good understanding, a few words. There is no release date yet for any of these new hardware, although it is expected to be timely to give a respite to the current state of market shortages.
