Nvidia and AMD GPU cryptocurrency demand to rise again... and you can thank mother nature

Added: 04.07.2018 3:09 | 1220 views | 0 comments

Graphics card and ASIC miner orders are to see a sudden short-lived surge due to heavy flooding in the Sichuan province in China. As reported by Chinese-language news outlet, Economic Daily News, the area has been prime real estate for cryptocurrency miners, and is the location of 70% of China’s mining systems.

There have been constant reports over the last few months of graphics card shipments reducing due to lacklustre demand, and that has been great news for gamers finally being able to pick up graphics cards for even less than MSRP. That comes only months after prices skyrocketed due to ludicrously high cryptocurrency values and memory shortages.

GPU pricing seems pretty steady for the time being, and let’s hope it stays that way until new cards arrive. Here are the around.

Various graphics card manufacturers, MSI, TUL, and Gigabyte, all expected massive shipment drops month-on-month, roughly amounting to a . Gigabyte also told investors to expect large drops in demand and average selling price over the next quarter. Genesis Mining GPUs

But that might be changing in the short-term if damage to mining operations is as serious as some reports make out. The flooding has reportedly damaged tens of thousands of mining systems, notes the report via , which has also caused the overall hashrate worldwide to drop considerably.

Battlefield 5 may be an Nvidia GeForce game now, but AMD ruled the closed alpha

Added: 03.07.2018 19:46 | 1293 views | 0 comments


AMD has won this battle, and Nvidia is going to have to step up its Battlefield 5 optimisations if it wants to win the war. In our testing the RX 580 massively outperforms the supposedly equivalent GTX 1060, despite BF5 now being a bought and paid for GeForce game.
The Battlefield 5 closed-alpha has just closed this very afternoon and we’ve spent a good while playing, killing, capturing, and testing graphics cards. It’s a tough life. The most interesting thing to come out of our closed alpha playtime, however, is just how differently the two mainstream GPUs from Nvidia and AMD perform.
If you want to know what the around is, you know where to come.
In general graphics testing the GTX 1060 and RX 580 regularly trade benchmark wins, but normally only by the slightest of margins. With the Battlefield 5 closed alpha, however, there is a sizeable disparity in performance, with the RX 580 some 33% faster in our tests. That’s not the only bad news for Nvidia either, as the DirectX 12 implementation in the game does its GPUs no favours either. Battlefield 5 AMD and Nvidia performance
It does really look like all the efforts that AMD put into making sure its GPU architecture was catered for, with Battlefield 1 being a flagship Radeon Gaming title, are still paying off with Battlefield 5.

Nvidia GTX 1180 GPU release date, rumours, and performance

Added: 02.07.2018 10:44 | 994 views | 0 comments


When are we going to see the Nvidia GTX 1180? That’s the big question right now, but the new GeForce GPUs are in the works, bringing us the next generation of Nvidia graphics cards.
Nvidia is the only GPU crew to drop brand new gaming-focused graphics cards on us this year, with the GTX 1180 and GTX 1170 likely to be the vanguard of a new generation of GeForce GPUs. Or maybe they'll be named the GTX 2080 and GTX 2070 in favour of a more bombastic marketing opportunity... right now we still don't know. But there are things we do know about Nvidia’s next-gen cards.
You’ll need a quality display to go with a new graphics card, so check out our pick of the around.
Nvidia hasn’t yet announced the naming, let alone the actual GPU architecture, behind its next generation of gaming cards, but we’ve still got a pretty good idea of the technology that’s going to be powering them and now we're pretty confident they're going to be announced before August 20.

Nvidia reportedly stockpiling one million next-generation graphics cards

Added: 02.07.2018 7:33 | 895 views | 0 comments

In yet another report from DigiTimes on falling graphics card demand, industry sources indicate that Nvidia has stockpiled roughly one million unreleased GPUs, all ready to go. If the rumours are true, it would seem Nvidia is well-equipped for the launch of its next-generation graphics cards. Whenever that happens….

We’ve heard numerous reports of graphics cards demand, and subsequent prices, falling drastically for the last couple of months. The latest rumour speculates a 20% average price drop for July alone. Mining demand is in a slump - Bitcoin is currently at ~$6,000 after numerous multi-million dollar heists - and graphics cards prices have often dropped below MSRP as a result.

If you aren’t prepared to wait a moment longer, you can check out all the right here.

This report estimates there are (very) roughly expected to be a few million units still in the channel across worldwide retailers and distributors. Alongside reports of from an unnamed taiwanese graphics card manufacturer, the green team may well be swimming in current-gen graphics silicon. Nvidia GeForce graphics card

, from unnamed sources within Nvidia's supply chain, indicates Nvidia is also sitting on a huge quantity of unspecified and unreleased graphics cards. The massive inventory stockpile would make a lot of sense for the green team if the rumoured end of Q3 launch window turns out to be more than just wishful thinking.

Nvidia’s GTX 1180 is already on pre-order. In Vietnam. Until the dodgy page is taken down

Added: 02.07.2018 5:24 | 893 views | 0 comments


Expectation and excitement is building as the hype machine rolls ever onwards to a potential August / September release for Nvidia’s new GTX 1180 graphics cards, and an enterprising Vietnamese retailer, H2 Extreme Gaming, is taking the opportunity to squeeze some pre-order cash out of gamers.
For the low, low price of 31,800,000 VND - which is about $1,400 or £1,050 - you can bag yourself a pre-order of an MSI GTX 1180 Gaming X with 16GB of GDDR6. Which is a bit of a bargain, as everyone knows non-existent graphics cards are more expensive than real ones. It’s just one of those internet rules, like the one about the amount of online hate you’ll get from putting a lady on a game cover without her wearing a bikini/boob armour.
Check out our pick of the that actually do exist right now.
Now, we’re not disputing that, when it comes to the crunch, MSI will be right there producing red and black versions of the when they’re good and ready. But that’s not now, and sites taking pre-orders for the cards before any pricing has been announced are doing very bad things. Asus GTX 1180 bad photoshop job
The also had a listing for an card too, but that has since been taken down. Maybe the so obviously photoshopped image the site used had something to do with it. They hadn’t even bothered photoshopping the ‘GTX 1080’ from the top side of the box.

Cyberpunk 2077 E3 demo PC specs revealed

Added: 30.06.2018 18:57 | 914 views | 0 comments


It's likely to go down in history as one of the greatest E3 demos, its iconic status only embellished by the fact that outside of behind-closed-doors visitors, nobody has actually seen it. But the trailer footage looks sensational and are stoking plenty of excitement. And now, we have confirmation of the PC hardware that was actually running it.
CD Projekt RED's junior community specialist Alicja Kozera posted on the game's Discord channel that Intel's Core i7 8700K was the CPU of choice for the demo, while Nvidia's GTX 1080 Ti provided the all-important graphics component. Digital Foundry's John Linneman witnessed the demo first-hand during E3 and noted that the game - which was fully playable and running entirely in real-time - was operating at a capped 30 frames per second on a large 4K screen, though it was unclear whether the in-development code itself was rendering at native ultra HD. John reports that performance was smooth by and large, but there were some occasional performance drops.
It's worth pointing out that CDPR brought along a development build of the game, rather than a vertical slice that would have been optimised specifically for demo purposes. In effect, what lucky attendees saw was a game clearly in a very early stage of development but still running rather well overall. Here's the full demo PC spec, as revealed by CDPR. The extent to which the current demo requires such a large amount of memory and state-of-the-art storage remains to be seen.
