>it has been impossible to build a decent gaming pc due to buttcoin miners ramping up gpu prices for months now
Seriously, not only there are no exclusives, no physical games, no second hand market, games are buggy as fuck console ports unplayable at launch, denuvo, rampant piracy and hackers online, exploits up the ass for overall pc security, fucking windows 10,and now even if you wanted to endure all of this bullshit you need to pay like 2x the price of a ps4 for a mid tier gpu.
Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming?

Its basically going to take either AMD or Nvidia making a gaming only card crippled for bitcoin farming and a bitcoin focused non gaming card.
It'd kill resale for burnt out gaming cards and get a shitload of goodwill with gamers.
Ethan Brown
It means I won't upgrade for a while. I hope this shit dies off soon because this is obnoxious. Its my bday next week and I had a desire to get a nice GPU, like a 1080 ti or something and a good 1440 monitor. Now its fucking pointless. Could have gotten that combo for under a grand 6 months ago. Now its a grand for the GPU alone.
Alexander Cooper
Because consoles need to ketchup.
Hunter Lee
>It'd kill resale for burnt out gaming cards And that's exactly why they don't make them. Miners wouldn't buy them.

Miners are shortsighted retards, if it offered 10% increased performance for the same price as a last gen gaming card they'd buy it up like crazy.

There is literally nothing worth your money in the market right now. It's best to keep using old hardware for at least 1 to 2 years and see what the future holds. Buying right now would be suicide.

Jayden Harris
Don't buy anything. Play less demanding games in your backlog while you save money for a good upgrade when the prices normalize -if they do. If they don't, just quit pc gaming; that's what I'll do if the prices are not reasonable when my gpu shits itself.

Buttcoin miners are fucking retarded. The chances of the actually earning a Bittcoin now are so minuscule that you will never see a payoff from all the power and GPUs you had to buy.
Asher Jones
can someone explain to me what bitcoin mining even is and why you need CPUs for that? /biz/ just keeps memeing it up instead of giving me a proper answer
Jaxson Sanders
the cryptomeme fad already wore off Shitcoin only went up in price because normies were told they could buy PC graphic cards for free money and went in hordes like the retards they are like OP's pic Shitcoin spiked in price because of all the influx of retards, and now that they realized they're not actually earning the free money like they thought, they've pulled out and shitcoin has dropped in price already
Jason Reed

Carter Green
Mining bitcoin is essentially just verifying bitcoin transactions. Each transaction you verify has a chance of rewarding you a bitcoin, but since bitcoin are finite the chances of gaining a bitcoin from verifying transactions decreases as more are issued. The software for verifying transactions was designed so people with enthusiast level PCs could use their under utilized GPU power to mine bitcoin.
Dominic Nguyen
Nope. Crypto crashes, cheap used GPUs flood the market
Jonathan Turner

>Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming? No but keep telling yourself that if it helps.
There are more off the shelve engines and easy of development that ever before. Modern consoles are a minor step removed from being normal x86 computers, making porting costs the lowest they've ever been. Console makers have to put up even bigger cash if they want to keep devs exclusive.
Console makes missed the biggest opportunity to attract PC users if they simply offered 1080p 60fps, but they chased 4k and stayed on peasant level 30fps. And they still have to rely on upscaling for most titles.
We also have two fairly new emulators, one for the wiiU and ps3, with a switch in the works. Microsofts store DRM also recently got cracked, so their scant exclusives are next.
Jordan Peterson
Hopefully. Gaming should be owned by just one and only giant corporation, i'm pretty sure that would be wonderful for everyone.
Nathan James

Luke Adams
This. I have a huge backlog and almost none of it is especially demanding. Gonna upgrade cpu, ram and mobo next month and that'll be it for a while. My meme 970 will have to do until it either dies or gpu prices recover. I am fine with 1080p gaming for the time being. Will switch to consoles only if all fails in the end

It's just not worth it to deal with pc gaming's bullshit anymore. Even the increase in grafix isn't worth having to deal with all of this shit. You can get a ps4 for 200 bucks nowadays and that will give you access to 99% of AAA shit, the rest you can pay on any toaster from the last 7 years.

This is true. Playing videogames on and off damages the GPU more than it working at a constant rate and heat.

PC gaming has dips and peaks. 2015-2016 was a peak, if you nabbed a Skylake CPU and a Pascal GPU you were pretty much golden. Now those CPU's suffer from vulnerabilities, GPU's are all unavailable and RAM prices keep rising because of artificial shortages by the chinks who produce them. This is a dip we are in right now.
I suspect next year will be a good year for PC building though. New CPU's (Ryzen 2 @ 7nm is planned), DDR5 will be available by then, hopefully the mining craze will have died down. Also HDMI 2.1 will be the standard, so we could see TV's supporting 4K 120hz with adaptive sync.

You can't cripple bitcoin farming on a card practically. You could distribute them with some modified BIOS that tries to hamper hash calculation performance, but it would be a matter of weeks until the miners figure out how to flash a custom BIOS onto it and buy them all out because they're cheaper than the mining cards.
Luke Wood
PC gaming is not dead.
PC building is.

You can probably make CUDA 50% less efficient by fucking around with the architecture of the card, then release a GPGPU card at 25% greater cost that doesn't have those restrictions.

Jace Cruz
>You can probably make CUDA 50% less efficient by fucking around with the architecture of the card, then release a GPGPU card at 25% greater cost that doesn't have those restrictions.

Hang on, so if I get a GTX 1080, do I have to switch over to Windows 10? I can't use it with Windows 7? I don't get the latest drivers?
At least post proper thicc rather than that mess, jesus christ.
Kevin Green
I'd rather avoid AMD if possible.
Grayson Sanders
I fucking can't wait how this trend is going to end. I want to see this shit crash and see /biz/ lose their shit because their autismcoins lose value
Dylan Carter
Why? Do you like getting gimped?
Chase Perry
I badly needed an upgrade, was still running with a hd7850 2gb and shit was getting old. Bought a rx580 for 400$ off amazon whereas a year earlier it would have cost me about 300.
Jackson Adams

Ryder Ramirez

>AMD giving mining tips/training/courses >Nvidia CEO saying crypto here to stay >US government giving credibility to crypto >Samsung making asics >other companies literally making hardware/software for mining It is here to stay. Sorry lads. If you want near msrp hardware, buy at launch. it's just below 1050 performance. Might as well if you''re waiting for the ones coming out later this year.

Mandatory win 10 OS and worst performance in DX12 and Vulkan.

i sincererly hope that the people that mine this shit get some sort of malfunction in their mining rig that sets it on fire and it starts to spread and burn their house down. They deserve it

>no exclusives More exclusives than all other platforms combined, all RTS are exlusives, all FPS play so shitty on consoles they might aswell be exclusives >no physical games, no second hand market There are barely any physical games on the consoles either, also physical games suck and take up space. A 5TB hard drive costs what, 150 bucks? >games are buggy as fuck console ports Games are also buggy as fuck on consoles also we can at least fix it with mods :^) >Denuvo Cracked before release lul >Rampant piracy Consolepeasants cant even pirate the games from shitty publishers like Bioware for free :^) >hackers online, exploits up the ass for overall Console has more hackers than PC, look at fucking GTA or Dark Souls lel >fucking windows 10 Win 10 is still less cucked than any console OS. Consolecucks literally cannot mod their shit or play any games their overlords don't approve of. >and now even if you wanted to endure all of this bullshit you need to pay like 2x the price of a ps4 for a mid tier gpu. I already have my 1070 though, I dont need another one. Stay mad for being late, consolecuck >Is this the final nail in the coffin for pc gaming? Actually we have been growing for the last 8 years or so while consoles are declining :^)
Also consoles cannot resell parts Also consoles canot pirate games for free Also consoles have no steam sales Also consoles are cucked by the owners of their platforms, meanwhile Microsoft cannot dictate you to not play games they don't approve of on their OS Also consoles have no m+kb Also consoles run like shit, enjoy your silky smooth 30 fps
