This year, not only ASIC mining machine update, graphics card machine is also experiencing a big change. Due to the continuous growth of Ethereum DAG files, the occupied video memory will continue to increase. It is expected that in mid to late December this year, Ethereum DAG files will exceed 4G, and GPU mining machines with video memory of 4G or less will not be able to continue to mine Ethereum.
That means 50% of the graphics card market will be affected. Miners have two options. They can either abandon Ethereum and use a different algorithm for mining, or they can upgrade their graphics card to increase memory from 4G to 8GB.
For the first choice, if the computing power of more than 100T is switched to the network of other algorithms, it is bound to instantly increase the difficulty of these currencies, greatly reduce the income, resulting in the phenomenon of “mining collapse”. However, due to the withdrawal of 4G graphics card, the difficulty of Ethereum network will be significantly reduced. Miners who choose to upgrade their graphics cards will naturally obtain more mining benefits. Therefore, transformation and upgrading is imperative.
There are two main ways of transformation and upgrading. The first is to refresh the firmware. For example, the physical video memory of P104 is 8G, but in order to reduce power consumption and maintain stability, it is set to 4G in the firmware. You can upgrade the video memory to 8G by updating the firmware later. The other is to upgrade the video memory particles, such as RX470, RX480, RX570, RX580 this kind of video card needs hardware upgrade and transformation, replace the video memory particles, 8 512M video memory particles into 8 1G video memory particles, that is, 4G to 8G.
At present, the cost, time, process and technical level involved in the transformation of the market are different, and the best way to avoid risks is to join the cloud computing power mining. Download a dig APP, for example, subscribe cloud calculate force also is equivalent to lease mill can dig directly, with turnover of mining and hot ETH2.0 will fall to the ground, now also is belong to the etheric fang dig dividend period, high profit, the basic back this soon, dig the COINS are clearing every day, you can mention any regular exchanges to deal at any time, Now is a good time to add cloud computing power to mine.
