Bitcoin Crash and GPU Prices

Introduction

The Bitcoin crash of June,2022has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market, and with it, GPU prices are starting to fall. While we don't necessarily recommend buying up graphics cards for mining purposes, this is good news for gamers who are tired of paying inflated prices for graphics cards. If you've been holding off on upgrading your graphics card for any reason, now might be the best time to do so in two years.

Bitcoin's price is crashing and the entire cryptocurrency market is taking a beating.

You may have heard that Bitcoin's price is crashing and the entire cryptocurrency market is taking a beating. You may be wondering why this was a thing in the first place and what it means for your GPU mining rig.

If you're here because you're wondering about how to get back into mining after last year's boom, read on—we've got some tips for both beginner and professional miners alike!

GPU prices are dropping rapidly in response to the crash, with some dropping over 50% according to PC World.

  • You may have missed it, but GPU prices are dropping rapidly in response to the Bitcoin crash.

  • This means that you can get more power for your money right now than at any time since before cryptocurrency was a thing.

  • According to PC World, “GPUs are down 50% or more from their previous highs—and some models are cheaper than they were during Black Friday sales earlier this year.”

Two of the most popular cards from AMD, the RX 580 and RX 570, have dropped in price from $400 to $450 all the way to $200.

You may be wondering, how exactly does the Bitcoin crash affect GPU prices? Two of the most popular cards from AMD, the RX 580 and RX 570, have dropped in price from $400 to $450 all the way to $200. The simplest answer is that people are holding onto their GPUs in hopes of making a profit when Bitcoin bounces back up again. However, there might be another reason why these two particular models are so popular among miners—and it’s not because they perform better than other GPUs.

The RX 580 and 570 were both released at different times but share similar characteristics: they can handle a maximum power consumption of 150 W per card; they have 8GB GDDR5 RAM; they support DirectX 12 (but not Vulkan); and they can reach clock speeds between 926 MHz to 1,230 MHz depending on hardware capabilities.

They also come with an excellent warranty policy: three years for parts and labor if purchased through official channels like Amazon or Newegg—not bad at all! Unfortunately though there haven't been any major performance improvements since their initial release date over two years ago which means these cards won't deliver anything special beyond what you'd expect from your current generation graphics processing unit (GPU).

Nvidia cards have dropped as well, but not quite as much as AMD-based products.

Nvidia cards are still more expensive than AMD-based products, but not by much.

Nvidia cards are still more powerful than AMD products, but only marginally so.

Nvidia cards are still more popular than AMD products.

Nvidia cards are still more profitable than AMD cards.

The GTX 1060 3GB, for example, has fallen from $250 down to about $210. The 6GB edition has fallen from about $300 down to around $260.

At the time of writing, you can find the GTX 1060 6GB for about $260 and the 3GB edition for about $210. These prices are about $30 and $70 cheaper than what they were in December 2018, respectively.

The GTX 1060 6GB is still an excellent value card with high performance, but it’s not quite as good as it used to be. The 3GB version is also much more affordable now, so that may be worth considering if you're on a tight budget or don't need high resolutions like 1440p or 4K gaming.

GPU prices are dropping, but only because Bitcoin crashed.

It's important to understand what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, and it can be described as both a digital asset and token.

Bitcoin is the underlying technology that enables all other cryptocurrencies to function. While there are hundreds of different types of cryptocurrencies, each one uses some variation of the same Bitcoin blockchain architecture (the technology behind Bitcoin). For example: Ethereum uses its own blockchain architecture based on the original Bitcoin blockchain; Litecoin has its own unique version of this technology; Monero uses another type entirely!

Conclusion

It's also important to remember that prices could bounce back up again as quickly as they plummeted, so if you're thinking about buying a GPU for crypto-mining purposes, now might be the best time to get in. There are still people who believe Bitcoin will recover and rocket back up to the thousands in value, and if that happens, expect GPU prices to rise right alongside it!
