The solution so that the miners did not take the graphics cards for gamers was to make graphics cards dedicated to mining. They cost more, but had the right components for mining and offered certain advantages, but their sales are falling due to the drop in interest in cryptocurrency mining.
Several signs point to interest in crypto mining-specific GPUs is waning, correlated with mining profitability. NVIDIA reported that its revenue from these GPUs fell 77% in the last quarter of the year. On the AMSD side, their crypto mining GPUs are also starting to lose value.
Even mining GPUs drop in price
These cards have seen their value plummet to near their retail price of $846. They came to cost more than 1.400 dollars, which represents a decrease of 38% of its maximum price. Along with the drop in the price of ethereum and the profitability of its mining, the move to Proof of Stake sometime this year, which will be when the GPUs are no longer good for mining.
This and other factors such as the increase in non-mining chart stock seem to have lowered the prices of crypto-specific products. The Sapphire GPRO X080 is an example of this and it is very likely that it will also affect the rest of the crypto mining equipment.
Tom's Hardware claims that the price reduction of around 38% on the Sapphire GPRO X080 is at the same levels of decline seen for the series RX 6000 and the RTX 3000 series. Although the price of CMPs could drop faster because outside of their ability to mine, they don't do much good as they don't have video output.
