So I checked in on how the Ethereum PoW fork is going and lmao From looking around at various hashrate charts, it seems that about a quarter of the total ethereum mining fleet has been bouncing around the various altcoins the last few days, and their numbers are quickly dwindling as they discover how little money there is to be had. Some seem to be sticking it out in hope that their fortunes suddenly turn, but if there wasn't an immediate boost to these altcoins' price and profitability, then I don't see it happening down the road. Not independent of a wider crypto boom, at least. Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Sep 17, 2022 |

It's dropping prices on on the altcoins too, because there's a sudden influx of new coins before the difficulty adjustments. "Stablecoins" now make up 3 of the top 7 cryptocurrencies by market cap. It would be interesting to see how man actual dollars are circulating within the crytpocurrency ecosystem at this point. Powershift fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Sep 18, 2022 |

If no-one actually mines them, though, they don't work. It's not dead yet but the crypto economy just got its heart removed with no transplant in sight.

Somfin posted:If no-one actually mines them, though, they don't work. Mining is not the "heart" of crypto, speculation is the heart of crypto. Setting real commodities on fire and minting commemorative tokens for all the waste was never a legitimate enterprise and never created or backed crypto with any value, just a transitional hand-waving fiction to dazzle morons in the time before there was already a shitload of money supposedly floating around to entice new marks. The consumer-facing scam that lives on exchanges and sidechain rugs can carry on with exactly the same value proposition that it ever had.

I'm not even sure that's possible anymore with how many random sketchy exchanges are just inventing hypothetical dollars and letting people trade with them You could try and look at Binance/Binance US/Kraken/Gemini/Coinbase and the other larger exchanges and their real currency flows in and out but the vast majority of the $50,000,000,000 - $100,000,000,000 claimed crypto volume in any given day is internal exchange day trades with those stablecoins. It's how a couple of months ago Binance created* $2,000,000,000* in Buy* Orders* by just posting them on their exchange and claiming they were the seller and purchaser so no actual money traded hands but the entire cryptocurrency market reacted like 2 billion fresh dollars were used to acquire bitcoin which caused a $1,000+ upwards price movement and Created* Tens of Billons* in Market Cap* You would have to get rid of stablecoins entirely and 95% of the entire cryptocurrency market to see whats leftover and how much real volume actually regulated exchanges have.

PITY BONER posted:I am a laptop gamer. My last notebook had a 1050 and played Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on high with a few things set to ultra. I got a new notebook this year with a 12GB RX6800 and I can barely tell the difference in performance. I think I spent the first week wondering if something went wrong or if my GPU wasn't connected. That must have been resolution-scaling like a fucker.

The 20xx and 30xx series have material gains in resolution and process gains in ray tracing. If you think 1080p is fine and don't buy the ray tracing hype yet(it's neat but seems to be really effort full for the developers to not make it look worse, looking at you Cyberpunk) you've not really missed anything during the crypto supply shortage.

I upgraded my CPU from a 1600 to a 5600X and that made a phenomenal difference to performance in games; getting a 3060 to replace my 1060 let me bump up my VR res but it wasn't anywhere near as big a difference at 1080p, and if it wasn't for VR I could have definitely skipped it until now.

the callousness of this thread. hundreds, perhaps thousands, of crypto miners who KEPT THE GPU BUSINESS ALIVE while you sat back with your 1080p "some settings on ultra" are now LOSING EVERYTHING. and you all laugh? you all salivate over their 30-series GPUs? ridicule sellers' illegitimate runarounds to avoid ebay fees and return policies? this is all funny to you huh. because it is funny, you say? correct. it's very funny.

I think if anything, this crypto boom has lead to a realization a lot of gamers should've made much sooner: you really don't need to jump fewer than two generations on a graphics card to play games well these days. My 2060 is humming along just fine with most modern games. I'm only just now vaugely considering the 40xx series.

I've been able to play new releases just fine at 1080p even up to this year. I'm probably not going to upgrade until the card outright dies.

I'm probably not going to upgrade until the card outright dies. if you look at the steam hardware survey almost all of the top 10 are either 1060s or within one step or generation of the 1060 (1050, 1050ti, 1060, 1650, 2060,1660ti and 1660 super are all roughly in that performance ballpark). there are a number of reasons for this but crypto is for sure a big one, there are finally some 30 series cards at the top of the charts but there weren't for ages. they're all still very good cards for that resolution. and again even cards that were released god six years ago like the 1060 are still going extremely strong, i bet a significant number of those are 5+ years old. after the last crash you could sometimes get very very good deals on GPUs and it wouldn't even astonish me of some of those 1060s that are still in use mined during that one.

I'm also sure that the dominance of the 1060 adjacent cards has led to PC game developers continuing to make sure these old cards are able to run newer games. Maybe with the latest crypto slump and subsequent GPU dump we'll see newer games require more modern hardware as better cards become more accessible.
