Crazy mining made NVIDIA, AMD's two major graphics card manufacturers gain a lot in the past, but it has suffered a lot of gamers. Sometimes even if they can not afford to buy money, they can not buy their favorite products.
As the prices of various virtual electronic currencies continued to decline, for example Bitcoin has fallen below 6000 U.S. dollars, a new round of 'Mining Disasters' has been staged, and NVIDIA and AMD's selling of hot miner cards have all suffered heavy losses.
The first quarter of 2018 can be said to be the peak of the mine card. Statistics show that the world sold 1.7 million mineral cards in the quarter. AMD's 10% of this quarter's revenue comes from this, NVIDIA also has 9%.
However, the higher the climb, the easier it would be to fall. After entering the second quarter, it was not just the plummeting Chinese mining card market. North America has not been spared.
The latest data from BlueFin Research Partners shows that In the second quarter, sales of NVIDIA graphics cards in the North American market will be at least 50% lower than in the first quarter. AMD is more miserable because of more mine cards. In the past quarter, sales of the NVIDIA graphics cards were only 35-40%.
Of course, the hardship of the game players has passed, and the game card market is slowly returning to normal.
With the return of major manufacturers' attention, many of the video cards that are out of stock prices are gradually recovering. Prior hot cards such as the RX 580 and GTX 1060 have returned to around 2,000 yuan.
