    Ethereum Switches to Proof of Stake, GPU Mining is Dead

     

    NVIDIA Ada and AMD RDNA3 will not sell to Ethereum miners. In a dramatic move, the creators of Ethereum have switched over the popular crypto-currency's algorithm from proof-of-work, to proof-of-stake, which means miners will no longer spend GPU resources in competing to find the same blocks. This effectively ends GPU-accelerated mining as Ethereum mining was the number-1 consumer of high-end GPUs through 2021. The switch-over happened as the total terminal difficulty surpassed 58,750,000,000T, with the last block having been found. With this move, global electricity consumption is expected to reduce by 0.2% (that's enough to power the world's top 5 cities).

    The impact of this move on GPU sales to crypto-currency miners is expected to be profound. GPUs are no longer an economical way to mine Bitcoin, ASICs are; and Ethereum mining constituted the bulk of activity from GPU-accelerated mining farms. This doesn't mean there aren't other crypto-currencies that rely on GPU-accelerated proof-of-work blockchain compute; but Ethereum had the highest market-cap among such currencies. Gamers have reason to rejoice, as NVIDIA and AMD now have to sell high-end GPUs squarely on merits of gaming performance, power-draw, and graphics card pricing.

    That's good news but we might see price bump on 4xxx series.

     

    Guess it's time to upgrade!

    Demo is only for XSX/S and not one 1X? I thought the game is coming out on last gen consoles as well.

     

    Yea, demo available on new gen only. They might bring the demo to previous gen later or not. 

  3. Rise of Ronin is the most viewed official trailer from koei tecmo counting 1.40m so far in 2 days ..

    Nioh 1 and 2 got 1.70m views combined and sold over 6m copies. 

    Wo long 550k views. 

     

    This could get big.

    Dude what? Its a current gen game 

    My bad then, it didn't looked like next gen. Easily manageable on previous gen. Anyway, must have forgot. 

  5. Coming on Xbox Gamepass on 20th September

     

    Free Golden Loop updates on all platforms:
