Is the graphics card worth buying after mining for one year

1.

The graphics card market in 2017 is the most special in recent years. In the past few years, no graphics card will increase its price by 100% a few months after its release. RX 580 has achieved this goal. Together with all the graphics cards below 3000 yuan, it has broken through the premium point in an irresistible manner. All this happened with the bitcoin price breaking through 3000 US dollars. After miners swept the RMB 2000 RX 580, the price of low-end RX 560 and even GTX 1050 Ti increased to varying degrees. However, is the price directly proportional to the ability of hash algorithm? Recently, we did a test to collect the new generation of graphics cards at various prices on the market, test the mining speed of Ethernet and bitcoin, and see which card has the highest cost performance

Different from the thousand yuan market, this wave of mining tide has a great impact on high-end graphics cards. In the test results, RX 580 and Rx 480 have almost reached the bottom of GTX 1070. Moreover, the price of Rx 580 is even competing with that of GTX 1070, so the miners directly swept the 3000 yuan market when GTX 1060 3gb / 6GB is out of stock, and GTX 1070 is basically out of stock. The more advanced GTX 1080 is also out of stock, but it's not clear whether the players are forced to go directly to the high-end card or the miners extend their claws to this market. The situation of GTX 1080 ti is only slightly improved, but it's not much better. However, not everyone can afford the 6000 yuan graphics card. Only the top players will be affected, but it's just a narrower choice. It's not the case that the rich can't buy it

summary:

to mine, the first choice is the graphics card with more than 3gb video memory, which is the basis. In addition, the core frequency will affect the mining speed. We have two GTX 1080 cards on hand, one is public version, and the other is MSI GTX 1080 gaming X. the operating frequencies of the two cards are 1885mhz and 1936mhz respectively. After testing, because of the frequency, the latter will be about 4% faster than the former in actual mining. The advantages of high-frequency graphics card are highlighted

So Xiaobian's opinions and suggestions are as follows:

the low-end card and the old architecture card are not suitable for mining. GTX 1080 ti is an extreme, with the most powerful performance, but the price is not suitable for large-scale procurement. The mining speed of a card with the same location is much faster than that of N card, The cost performance of GTX 1060 3gb is higher than that of GTX 1060 6GB. The frequency and the number of stream processors / CUDA have a great influence on the performance of the card. The size of video memory has no influence on the mining. It's enough. Different video cards will have different profits if they dig different coins. If you want to further explore, you need to test several currencies, Limited to space, we only select two representative currencies to test

as long as the mine disaster does not occur, the shortage will last for a long time. However, if there is a mine disaster, a large number of second-hand mine cards will directly enter the market. These cards are always running at full load and full speed, and their service life is greatly shortened compared with that of ordinary users. Even if the price is lower, they will roll over at any time, There is no need to start at all. Moreover, the second-hand market will be directly disrupted. At that time, it will be difficult for some normal users to get out of the second-hand market, and the deep-water fish's Dragon killing knife will explode the galaxy. Now it is said that NVIDIA is making some graphics cards without display output interface, which are provided to miners as mine cards. With a certain capacity, if the mine card still can't satisfy the miners, won't the miners buy the graphics card in the consumer market? The only function of these special mine cards is to prevent mine cards from flowing into the second-hand market, which can not alleviate the current shortage of graphics cards

2. Mining is at the cost of long-term overload operation of the graphics card. Although the use time is very short, there may be many dark problems, so it is not recommended to buy it.

3. It must be bad. Mining graphics card is full of work. And it's usually all months of work
this kind of use intensity. It is much stronger than the graphics card that has been used for three or four years in ordinary household. It's easier to have problems.

4. The mine card is working with overclocking and full load, and continues to work for a long time, so the failure rate is very high, the service life is also very low, and the general mine card does not guarantee. One month of video card mining is equivalent to one year of normal use

5. Maybe your mining needs a strong computer system, so mining needs a graphics card. The following is about the graphics card extension information<

overview
graphics card, also known as video card, is an important part of the computer. It undertakes the task of outputting display graphics. For people who like to play games and engage in professional graphic design, graphics card is very important. The display chips of mainstream graphics cards are mainly made by NVIDIA (NVIDIA) and AMD (ultra micro semiconctor). Generally, the graphics cards with NVIDIA display chips are called N cards, while the graphics cards with AMD display chips are called a cards[ 1]
computers with high configuration all contain graphics card computing core. In scientific computing, graphics card is called display accelerator[ 1]
Video chipset is the main processing unit of graphics card, so it is also called graphic processing unit (GPU). GPU is the first concept put forward by NVIDIA company when it released geforce 256 graphics processing chip. Especially when dealing with 3D graphics, GPU makes the graphics card less dependent on CPU, and completes part of the work originally belonging to CPU. The core technologies of GPU include hardware T & L (geometry conversion and illumination processing), cubic environment material mapping and vertex blending, texture compression and bump mapping, al texture four pixel 256 bit rendering engine, etc[ 1]
all kinds of 3D special effects supported by the graphics card are determined by the performance of the display chip, and what kind of display chip is used roughly determines the grade and basic performance of the graphics card, such as NVIDIA GT series and AMD HD series[ 1]
there are many ways to measure the quality of a graphics card. In addition to using test software to test and compare, there are many indicators for users to compare the performance of a graphics card. The main factors that affect the performance of a graphics card are the frequency of the graphics card, display memory and other performance indicators [1].

6. Second hand graphics cards are almost all store insurance. As for the problem of closing stores, you can see that some old stores are very high-grade, and it's not cost-effective to close them. You should pay attention to the low-grade ones. You don't even have the drill. It's normal for you to run around in a wave.
and although you think that the 3-year insurance is very good, in fact, there's nothing wrong with the cards you dare to take out and sell, they still have no problem after testing. Mine card is not every mine slag, mine card 470 used for a year, 580 half a year of friends, are now zizizi. It depends on how long you dig and what money you dig
and even if you are given three-year insurance, the price they charge for this card is very low, and after three years, the price will certainly be lower, and you won't lose money. The average price of a one-year video card is more than 100 yuan, which is also included in the calculation

7. As long as it is a regular digital currency, there is an electronic wallet to download

for example, bitcoin, lightcoin, gold card, reborn coin, doggy coin, lightcoin, Ruitai coin, bitstock and other digital currencies can be downloaded from rich packages
but there is no wallet to download MLM or some direct selling coins
for example: Baichuan coin, Morgan coin, treasure coin, etc.

8. The first time you fry money, you must be careful. If you don't know anything, don't buy it indiscriminately. Accumulate some experience and buy a stable mainstream coin or high-quality token, such as bitcoin, BTC and BHT, which are reliable. You can start with it properly!

9. It's not like the graphics card is rolling on the ground...
after years of using the card to wipe the st, it looks like new. It is not recommended to buy mine cards, which may strike at any time e to long-term high load operation.
