This year both AMD and NVIDIA have launched a new generation of graphics cards with new architectures. The performance of the RX 6000 series is no worse than that of the RTX 30 series. However, both of them are out of stock this year and cannot be relieved in a short time. The reasons for the shortage of
RX 6000 and RTX 30 graphics cards are complex. On the one hand, the global semiconductor industry's production capacity is tight, and on the other hand, it is also related to the rise of the mining card market this year.
Recently, the price of Bitcoin has not only made a down payment for the lost ground in 2018, but also created a new high of 23,000 US dollars. The digital currency market has a trend of making a comeback. Mining cards have also been very in demand recently, resulting in game cards being preempted by miners and players If you can't get it, even if you increase the price, you are not as rich as the miners.
Faced with the revival of mining cards, graphics card manufacturers are enjoying the benefits they bring, but they are also divided on whether the demand for mining cards can be sustained. Graphics card brands such as Asus, MSI, and Hanxun are relatively cautious and have seen demand for mining cards increase. , But I’m not sure whether it will continue to be hot in the future, and I’m still waiting to see. Compared with other brands, Leadtek is a lot optimistic. It believes that large financial investors have entered the digital currency market. This demand will continue for a long time and will not rise and fall like the previous few times.
Faced with such a situation, the news said that NVIDIA has also moved its mind and has begun to contact graphics card manufacturers to discuss mining demand and mining card scanning, and is considering whether to adjust the supply situation through diversion.
In other words, NVIDIA has begun to assess the demand for the mining card market just like the last time it launched the P106 mining card chip. If the demand is considered high, then they may also launch a dedicated mining card to meet the needs of miners and let the game The card is separated from the mine card.
Previously, NVIDIA launched a dedicated mining card without an output interface to prevent mining cards from grabbing the game card market. At the same time, the warranty (warranty) time has also been shortened to 90 days for special cards.
