With such a cost, miners have no particular reason to buy 3D accelerators of the CMP line.
Relatively little time has passed since the announcement, and the Nvidia CMP 30HX 3D Card from the new line of Cryptocurrency Mining Processor models designed exclusively for mining has gone on sale. The irony is that it is offered for an impressive 720 dollars, which corresponds to the retail price of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti / Super at the moment (with the same performance in mining), but at the same time the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti / Super has video outputs.
The first Nvidia graphics card for miners went on sale. Performance on par with the $ 720 GeForce GTX 1660
Recall that the CMP 30HX shares the TU116 graphics processor with the GeForce 1660 Ti and GeForce 1660 Super, and the memory capacity is the same – all the same 6 GB. The mining performance is 26 MH / s: one such video card mined by Etherium with the Ethash algorithm can generate income of approximately $ 75 per month. That is, it will pay off after about 10 months of work. However, video cards for mining are designed to be used together.
This month, the Nvidia CMP 40HX video card with performance at the level of GeForce RTX 2060 should also go on sale.And in the second quarter, CMP 50X (analogue of GeForce RTX 2070) and CMP 90HX with performance at the level of GeForce RTX 3080 will appear on sale. , but again, if it costs the same as a regular RTX 3080, then there will be no arguments in favor of buying it the CMP 90HX. And in this case, the availability of Nvidia 3D cards for sale from the Cryptocurrency Mining Processor line will not affect the shortage at all and will not make life easier for gamers.
