Once upon a time, the first thing to do to buy any GPU (video card) was to go around and find the GPU we wanted. It was very difficult to find GPUs used especially for cryptocurrency mining in the market. This situation has recently been reversed.
Cryptocurrency markets are on the decline, and new regulations have come in for mining as well. With the release of the new series GPUs, many discarded graphics processors have also filled the second-hand market. This was on the agenda of a Vietnamese social media phenomenon.
GPUs were sold by the kilo.
Calling himself the “king of VGA”, Vietnamese Lê Thanh made fun of the state of the GPU market with photos he shared on Facebook and other social media platforms. Thanh, who set up a replica of Vietnam’s famous street stalls, started selling GPUs stacked on top of each other.
Thanh continued his joke when someone on the road saw this and stopped. After weighing the selected GPUs by kilo, he put them in a red bag and handed them to his customer. It was also seen that there were products belonging to the big companies of the sector among the GPUs on the counter.
The era of Ethereum mining with the GPU has ended, and then the decline in prices accelerated. The fact that people’s demand for graphics processors has decreased as a result of the end of the pandemic does not help the old miners at all.
This situation is also evident in the predictions of the manufacturers. None of the major manufacturers expect a bright performance in the coming period. At least we are more likely to find a GPU in the future.
