NVIDIA and AMD Graphics Cards Sales Threatened by New Bitmain ASIC

 

Bitmain, the leading manufacturer of Bitcoin-focused ASIC chips has been discovered to be nearly finished on a brand new proof-of-eork ASIC that will be capable of mining Ethereum coin as well as others. Currently Bitmain doesn’t have any products that can do this type of mining or hashing which is where our old friends NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA 225.52 -7.76%) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD 10 -4.22%)step in.

Good News for gamers

I just want everything to stabilize and return to normal price before Nvidia' next GPU's and A kick-a*s bang for buck AMD GPU.

ASUS' debuts new AREZ sub-branding for AMD cards, Videocardz. 

 

Get ready to learn whole new naming schemes and syntax for AMD cards.

Everyone will announce a branding for AMD cards because of changes in Nvidia GeForce partner program. Nvidia and their BS continues.

AMD Navi GPU to Offer GTX 1080 Class Performance at ~$250 Report Claims, Nextgen Architecture is The “Zen” of GPUs

 

 

AMD Navi Mainstream GPU to Have GTX 1080 Class Performance, Succeed RX 580

Navi is Radeon’s last Graphics Core Next based architecture and is expected to be the world’s first high performance GPU built on 7nm process technology. Little is known about Navi in the techspere to date. One detail that we seldomly see reported is that AMD is working on two Navi GPUs, we’ll call them Navi 10 and Navi 11 for the time being. One is designed for the desktop market and the other for the mobile market.

If that does happen, would it be reasonable to expect 4k 30 fps for next console generation? 

1080 can do 4k ,30 FPS with medium or high settings... If the game is optimised well for console , I guess 4k might going to be norm for most of the console games in next generation. I am expecting some options like play at 4k at 30fps or 1080p at 60 FPS, some game in current gen already offer such options

Wonder when it is coming out. My 970 needs replacing, has been overheating lately.

Let us just say not before next year. That is for sure. Unless they pull off a Hail Mary and somehow manage to move it to this year plus the mining craze dies down.

It's already dying down. Unless there is a big upswing in the near future, cryptos will be all but dead in the near future. 

 

GPU makers are still depressed from the excessive demands and stock dumping that will occur when it finally completely sloughs off. 

 

Also, it is not all out yet, AMD GPU's are still going for a premium while nVidia is massaging stocks slowly into the market.

Again 256bit. Oh c'mon this is just ridiculous now. That TDP also is high. As this is all rumours, let's see what's the actual GPU is like.

Time to open the cooler clean it and replace the Thermal paste. I suggest Noctua NT H1.

Yeah I've considered doing that. I'm just a bit afraid of shorting it. I am very prone to static....usually end up shocking people around me.

Keep your pc plugged in while the switch is off. Every few times touch the metal part of the case or keep one hand touching the case while applying thermal paste.

Hahahha it could be if giving unwarranted shocks to other people and myself could be called that!

Aaah! I recently bought one of those wristbands as well that you use for such things. Will give it a go. Doesn't look like my card will live long without this.

Is this the good time to upgrade GPU or wait for next release
