"Mining" tropical video card market: price doubled to 14000 players

"其实早在2017年，市场上就有人购买了图形卡进行挖掘，但当时参与人数很少，对播放器市场的影响远小于现在，"魏星说，"现在进入'矿'的人越多，对图形卡的需求就越大，而显卡库存明显不足。"

"In fact, as early as 2017, some people in the market bought graphics cards for mining, but the number of participants was small at that time, and the impact on the player market was far less than now." Wei Xing said, "now the more people enter the" mine ", the greater the demand for graphics cards, and the obvious shortage of graphics cards in stock."

魏星对此印象深刻。在过去的半年里，几乎每天都有人来咨询显卡。其中80%以上有开采目的，甚至有很多人愿意高价购买。"有的顾客以为我要囤货，就揣摩价格，于是马上把我卖了原价的两倍。他还说，价格可以再谈，所以不要耽误他的开采时间。"

Wei Xing was deeply impressed. Nearly every day in the past six months, people came to consult the graphics card. More than 80% of them had the purpose of mining, and even many people were willing to buy it at a high price. "Some customers thought that I was going to stock up and speculate on the price, so they immediately sold me twice as much as the original price. He also said that the price can be discussed again, so don't delay his mining time. "

但魏星手头没有存货。他告诉记者，平时，从工厂到门店，显卡需要经过全国总代理、区域总代理、经销商等多个层次，最后到门店进行终端销售。现在，这块地一拿到地区总代表甚至全国总代表手里，就有可能被大矿主打包收购。

But Wei Xing has no stock in hand. He told reporters that usually, from the factory to the store, the graphics card needs to go through the national general agent, regional general agent, distributor and other levels, and finally to the store for terminal sales. Now, the spot is likely to be packed and bought by big mine owners as soon as it is in the hands of the regional general representative or even the national general representative.

多位矿主告诉记者，如果只有少数显卡找不到虚拟货币，往往需要几十块甚至几百块显卡才能取得初步效果。一位大矿商甚至在接受壳牌金融采访时承认，他在2017年的20天内投资了近1亿元人民币，囊括了国内众多电子商务平台的所有显卡。"当时，购买了近3万张显卡，装备了4000台采矿机，建成了一座比特币矿。"

A number of mine owners told reporters that if only a small number of graphics cards can't find virtual currency, it often takes dozens or even hundreds of them to achieve initial results. A big miner even admitted in an interview with shell finance that he had invested nearly 100 million yuan in 20 days in 2017, sweeping all the graphics cards in many domestic e-commerce platforms. "At that time, nearly 30000 graphics cards were bought and 4000 mining machines were equipped to build a bitcoin mine."

"与个别玩家零星购买显卡相比，经销商肯定愿意打包销售。毕竟，这不仅回报快，而且利润大。"在浙江销售电脑硬件的王科（化名）告诉记者，"如今，不仅很难找到一个全新的图形卡市场，而且二手图形卡的价格也大幅上涨。"

"Compared with individual players' sporadic purchase of graphics cards, dealers are definitely willing to pack and sell them. After all, it's not only a quick payback, but also a big profit. " Wang Ke (pseudonym), who sells computer hardware in Zhejiang Province, told reporters, "today, not only is it hard to find a brand new graphics card market, but also the price of second-hand graphics cards has risen by a large margin."

王珂的店铺早在涉足二手显卡业务时就兴起了采掘热。他告诉记者，现在二手显卡市场也因为矿工的购买而出现了火爆的需求。以前价格在2000元的二手显卡，现在已经涨到3000多元。无独有偶，据媒体报道，一款计算能力更强、成本价在3900元左右的显卡在2020年9月涨到6000多元，最近更是突破8000元。

Wang Ke's shop set foot in the second-hand graphics card business as early as the rise of mining fever. He told reporters that now the second-hand graphics card market is also in hot demand because of the miner's purchase. Before a price of 2000 yuan in the second-hand graphics card, now has risen to more than 3000 yuan. Similarly, according to media reports, a graphics card with stronger computing power and a cost price of about 3900 yuan rose to more than 6000 yuan in September 2020, and more recently exceeded 8000 yuan.

"没想到二手显卡的价格会比全新的显卡高，甚至一张都很难买到"，王珂说，"2020年前，每月能收到10多张，每周能卖出几张。现在很难再收到显卡了。即使有客户交易，不管是回收还是再次销售，价格都比以前高出很多。"

"I never thought that the price of second-hand graphics card would be higher than that of brand-new graphics card, or even one card would be hard to get." Wang Ke said, "before 2020, more than 10 copies will be received every month, and several copies will be sold every week. Now it's very difficult to receive the graphics card again. Even if there is a customer to trade, whether it's recycled or sold again, the price is much higher than before. "

游戏玩家：图形卡和笔记本市场很难受到影响

Gamers: hard to get graphics card and notebook market affected

2月26日，游戏玩家王伟（化名）在浏览了几家电子商务平台后，终于去世了。此前，他计划在新显卡上市时升级电脑，以改善游戏体验。但出乎意料的是，半年后，我仍然没有买我最喜欢的显卡。

"Don't try to buy a graphics card at a normal price these days." On February 26, the gamer Wang Wei (pseudonym) finally died after browsing several e-commerce platforms. He had previously planned to upgrade his computer when the new graphics card came into the market to improve the gaming experience. But unexpectedly, half a year later, I still haven't bought my favorite graphics card.

记者了解到，NVIDIA的rtx30系列显卡刚上市时，由于产量少而导致的价格虚高流行。原来，王伟想等到后期成交量充裕、价格恢复正常时再出手。但现在人们发现显卡的价格不但没有下降，反而在上涨。价格和预算之间的差距越来越大，他再也负担不起了。

The reporter learned that when NVIDIA's rtx30 Series graphics card just came into the market, the price was falsely high due to the small output caused by the epidemic. Originally, Wang Wei wanted to wait until the later period when the volume was abundant and the price returned to normal. But now it is found that the price of the graphics card is rising instead of falling. The gap between the price and his budget is bigger and bigger, and he can't afford it any more.

王伟想从一个NVIDIA rtx3080图形卡开始。该卡原价不到6000元。现在已经炒到14000元甚至更高，是官方指导价的两倍多。"主要原因是近期虚拟货币市场火爆，不少商家大量购买显卡进行挖掘。而显卡的性能越好，计算能力就越强，自然成为所有人追求的目标王伟说。

What Wang Wei wants to start with is a NVIDIA RTX 3080 graphics card. The original price of the card is less than 6000 yuan. Now it has been fried to 14000 yuan or even higher, more than twice the official guidance price. "The main reason is that the virtual money market is hot recently, and many businesses buy a large number of graphics cards for mining. And the better the performance of the graphics card, the stronger the computing power, naturally become the target of all people Wang Wei said.

2月27日，壳牌财经记者登录多家电子商务平台搜索"3080显卡"时发现，目前该级别显卡的价格约为1.4万元甚至更高。如果按照每个品牌的官方指导价计算，大多数显卡的价格都翻了一番。

On February 27, when shell financial reporter logged into many e-commerce platforms to search for "3080 graphics card", he found that the current price of this grade of graphics card is about 14000 yuan or even higher. If calculated according to the official guide price of each brand, the price of most graphics cards has doubled.

记者在一家销售华硕"rog-strix-rtx3080-o10g-gaming"猛禽显卡的店铺看到，原价7999元的现在是9999-13599元。据该店向记者解释，9999元没有现货，需要等几个月才能发货。而即使选择13599元的现货也需要等待一定的时间。

The reporter saw in a shop selling asus's "rog-strix-rtx3080-o10g-gaming" Raptor graphics card that the original price of 7999 yuan is now 9999-13599 yuan. According to the store explained to reporters, 9999 yuan is not in stock, need to wait a few months before delivery. And even choose 13599 yuan spot also need to wait for a certain time.

据媒体报道，奇才红推出的"GTX1660超级战斧DDRG6GB"显卡，2020年8月价格约为1599元，2021年2月25日已涨至3299-3899元，涨幅达143.8%。

According to media reports, the price of a "GTX 1660 super Tomahawk ddrg 6GB" graphics card launched by Qicaihong was about 1599 yuan in August 2020, and it has risen to 3299-3899 yuan in February 25, 2021, up 143.8%.

"现在显卡供应太紧张了。不仅流行的30系列显卡价格飞涨，就连上市多年的20系列显卡也买不起。"同样热衷于这款游戏的阿奇（化名）告诉记者，他等了好几个月30系列显卡才恢复正常，只好选择原来的20系列显卡，结果发现现在它的价格高了很多。"最初，我对RTX2080图形卡感兴趣。我认为这并不比30连续剧差多少。结果，价格比我几个月前看到的高出了2000多元。"

"The supply of graphics cards is too tight now. Not only is the price of the popular 30 series graphics card soaring, but even the 20 series graphics card, which has been on the market for many years, can't afford it. " Also keen on the game, Archie (pseudonym) told reporters that he had been waiting several months for the 30 series graphics card to return to normal, and had to choose the old 20 series graphics card, only to find that its price is much higher now. "Originally, I was interested in a RTX 2080s graphics card. I thought it was not much worse than 30 series. As a result, the price was more than 2000 yuan higher than what I saw a few months ago."

更让玩家无奈的是，虚拟货币市场的普及不仅影响到显卡市场，也影响到游戏笔记本。原来，很多矿主在拿不到高端显卡的时候，就把注意力转向了移动终端上同样配备了30系列显卡的游戏笔记本。

What makes players more helpless is that the popularity of the virtual money market not only affects the graphics card market, but also affects the game notebook. It turns out that many mine owners turn their attention to the game notebook which is also equipped with 30 series graphics card on the mobile terminal when they are unable to grab the high-end graphics card.

"新笔记本上市后，根本抢不到。电子商务平台发布几秒钟后就售罄了，"阿奇很无奈，饶了我们这些玩家吧。"。原本以为是输给了其他玩家的手速，后来才知道，很多已经被矿主淘走了

"When the new notebook comes on the market, it can't be grabbed at all. The e-commerce platform is sold out just a few seconds after it is released." Archie is very helpless, "spare us these players.". Originally thought it was lost to other players hand speed, later learned that many have been scavenged by mine owners

壳牌金融记者在贴吧、微博等平台上看到，包括天轩、神舟、机械革命在内的品牌笔记本，价格相对便宜，配有30系列显卡，被矿主拿出用于采矿。"之前，他一次买了几十台笔记本，放在架子上连续开采，"一位矿工告诉记者，虽然移动显卡的效率肯定不如台式显卡高，但总比不买显卡好。"

Shell financial reporter saw on the post bar, microblog and other platforms that the brand notebooks, including Tianxuan, Shenzhou and mechanical revolution, which are relatively cheap and equipped with 30 series graphics cards, were taken out by the mine owner and used for mining. "Before, he bought dozens of notebooks at one time and put them on the shelf to continuously mine." A miner told reporters, "although the efficiency of mobile graphics card is certainly not as high as desktop graphics card, it is better than not buying a graphics card."

市场的未来：限制采矿效率的措施

The future of the market: measures to limit mining efficiency

显卡的价格越高，许多打算升级配置的玩家都望而却步。

The higher the price of the graphics card, many players who plan to upgrade the configuration are deterred.

"现在显卡在矿主手里。并不是说我们只需要忽略显卡的升级。让我们等到价格恢复正常。"王伟告诉记者，他认识的很多玩家现在都开始"佛教"，而之前热议的视频聊天卡群也变得相当冷清。

"Now the graphics cards are in the hands of mine owners. It's not that we just need to ignore the upgrade of graphics card. Let's wait until the price returns to normal. " Wang Wei told reporters that many of the players he knew are now beginning to "Buddhism", and the previously hot discussion group of video chat cards has become quite cold.

据媒体报道，仅2020年一年，矿主手中就将有价值约11.5亿元的图形卡约19万张。"基本上每批货都会在几秒钟内被扫除。我们怎么能买呢？"阿奇说。

According to media reports, in 2020 alone, there will be about 190000 graphics cards with a value of about 1.15 billion yuan concentrated in the hands of mine owners. "Basically every shipment is swept out in a few seconds. How can we buy it?" Archie said.

但包括他在内的玩家所期待的是，NVIDIA最近发表声明称，它将通过最新发布的rtx3060上的软件驱动程序来限制挖掘效率。这意味着，一旦驱动程序软件检测到图形卡正在运行以太坊加密货币挖掘算法的特定属性，就会将哈希率或加密货币挖掘效率限制在50%左右。为了减少矿主购买这种显卡的行为，让显卡回到玩家群中。

But what players, including him, expect is that NVIDIA recently issued a statement saying that it will limit mining efficiency through software drivers on the newly released RTX 3060. This means that once the driver software detects that the graphics card is running the specific properties of Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, it will limit the hash rate or cryptocurrency mining efficiency to about 50%. In order to reduce the mine owner to buy such graphics card behavior, so that the graphics card back to the player group.

同时，为了满足矿主的采矿需求，英伟达还宣布推出专业的"英伟达CMP"采矿处理器，以便对玩家和矿主的需求进行分类。它不仅可以让玩家购买自己喜欢的显卡，还可以帮助矿主建立最高效的数据中心。

At the same time, in order to meet the mining needs of mine owners, NVIDIA also announced the launch of a professional "NVIDIA CMP" mining processor, in order to classify the needs of players and mine owners. It not only allows players to buy their favorite graphics card, but also helps mine owners build the most efficient data center.

"目前很难判断限购的最终效果"，2月27日，游戏圈观察家马静在接受记者采访时表示，虽然NVIDIA的初衷可能是为了让玩家能够购买显卡，不排除矿主在放弃其他类型的显卡后会购买这些显卡的可能性。

"It is difficult to judge the ultimate effect of the restrictions at present." On February 27, Ma Jing, an observer of the game circle, told reporters that although NVIDIA's original intention may be to enable players to buy graphics cards, it does not rule out the possibility that mine owners will purchase other types of graphics cards after abandoning such cards.

马静说，"现在矿主很多，不清楚英伟达的矿业加工企业是否充足。更重要的是，rtx3060是30系列中的低端显卡，市场上很多玩家更倾向于选择rtx3070、rtx3080等高端显卡，而英伟达并未对这类显卡的效率做出限制措施。按照高端图形卡越多，运算能力越强的规律，矿主在扫货时更喜欢这种级别的图形卡，仍然有冲击市场的可能。"

Ma Jing said, "there are a large number of mine owners today, and it is not clear whether NVIDIA's mining processors are abundant. More importantly, rtx3060 is a low-end graphics card in the 30 series, and many players in the market prefer to choose rtx3070, rtx3080 and other high-end graphics cards, while NVIDIA has not made measures to limit the efficiency of such graphics cards. According to the law that the more high-end graphics cards are, the stronger the computing power is, mine owners prefer this level of graphics cards when they sweep goods, and there is still the possibility of impacting the market. "

许多矿主告诉记者，NVIDIA限制效率的措施只适用于以太坊，但以太坊并不是唯一的虚拟货币。一旦这一限制对其他货币没有影响，市场将不会发生重大变化。

Many mine owners told reporters that NVIDIA's measures to limit efficiency only apply to Ethereum, but Ethereum is not the only virtual currency. Once this restriction has no effect on other currencies, the market will not change significantly.

卫星对此举动也并不乐观，"如果是挖其他货币，那么这些限制都是徒劳的。这种显卡上市后，仍被矿主抢走。届时，仍会出现"一卡难求"的局面，价格将被炒作

Wei Xing is also not optimistic about this move, "if it is to dig other currencies, then these restrictions are in vain. After this kind of graphics card is listed on the market, it is still robbed by the mine owners. At that time, there will still be a situation where "one card is hard to get" and the price will be speculation

"估计只有在未来显卡产量增加、虚拟货币普及降温的情况下，才会出现价格回调，"马静说，"幸好市场上的主流游戏还没有达到'只有30系列显卡可以玩'的水平。"。我只希望矿工们能尽快恢复平静，不仅归还一个干净的硬币圈，还让显卡回到玩家手中，真正实现它的价值。"

"It is estimated that only when the output of graphics cards increases in the future and the popularity of virtual currency cools down, can there be a price correction." Ma Jing said, "fortunately, the mainstream games on the market have not reached the level of" only 30 series graphics cards can play. ". I just hope that the miners can recover their calm as soon as possible, not only return a clean coin circle, but also let the graphics card return to the hands of the players, and truly realize its value. "
