If you are considering to mount a computer of games, or you want to update the one that already you have, the Radeon RX 580 and the Nvidia GTX sure 1060 that they are in your point of view. Not uselessly they are ideal cards to play to 1080p to all the current games; and the better thing, to a very competitive price.
Nevertheless, it is possible that you have realized that to find these cards on the market is complicated; not only it, but the competitive prices on that it was commenting before already it are not so much. Few cards it is equivalent to a raise of prices, certainly.
The most popular graphs become exhausted for the bitcoin
It is not that AMD and Nvidia have made few GPU, not that the manufacturers do not want to bet for them; everything opposite, in fact. The RX 580 and the GTX 1060 are selling as light doughnut rings, up to the point of which the manufacturers cannot follow the pace of the demand.
Curious mas is that many of these cards are not going to stop players; but they finish in servants' farms to mine virtual coins, principally bitcoin.
Since you know, to generate bitcoin is necessary to realize a series of complex mathematical operations; the GPU turn out to be mas rapid in this type that the CPU, generating more bitcoin in the same period of time.
Bearing in mind that the price of the bitcoin has been in his historical maximum in the last weeks, it is not of surprising that his production has increased; the bad thing, that on having used graphical cards to mine bitcoins, the "miners" are leaving without cards the players.
This has happened overnight, according to sources of manufacturers related to AMD, so they have not had time to react. The community of bitcoin was a little extinguished in the last months, so they were not suspecting that they were to arramplar with the whole stock.
Lucky, so many AMD like Nvidia they have been very hanging during these weeks; and the solution will satisfy both the players and the miners.
Graphical cards to mine bitcoins and only to mine bitcoins
Both manufacturers are developing special versions of his graphical cards, specially orientated to mine virtual coins. These graphs would be based on the original ones, but adapted to be used principally in mathematical calculations and not in games.
The model of Nvidia, the GTX 1060, would possess the chip GP106-100 adapted to mine bitcoin, and probably it will not serve to play. In fact, it will not possess any exit of video, for what only we will be able to use her in conjunction with another graphical card.
These new cards only will possess a guarantee of 90 days, since they know that the users will exploit the hardware the possible maximum thing doing him overclocking without rest. In exchange, they will be cheaper than the original ones.
AMD also is employed at a few graphs based on the chip Polaris (that of the RX 480 and RX 580), but still there are no details on how it will be.
