As if the fact that the graphics card market is completely saturated was not enough, With a completely insufficient production to supply the demand, it seems that a new player joins this complicated game of supply and demand, and they are neither more nor less than the miners , because after the rise in the value of the main cryptocurrencies, it seems that there are not few who will also be encouraged to try Get any of the available cards to mine with.

This would be reminiscent of the situation we live with Polaris architecture graphics cards, graphics cards that stood out for being extremely profitable for miners thanks to their great performance in this type of operations at the same cost quite restrained.

As of writing , we can see how coins such as Bitcoin are at an all-time high again , with values ​​of more than 27000 euros, as well as Ethereum, which is dancing around the barrier of 900 euros.

In any case, we will have to wait for releases like the one of the RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT that we mentioned today , since in general the current situation with the coronavirus subsides until it is no longer a problem for world production, something from which we will probably not recover due to com full until the middle or end of the year.
