Miners do not even ignore mobile video cards – laptops with GeForce RTX 30 at gunpoint

A sudden rise in the rate of a number of cryptocurrencies has led to disastrous consequences in the market of graphic solutions: at the moment there is an acute shortage of not only new video adapters, but also models of past generations, and the cost of the “last heroes” lying on store shelves sometimes takes your breath away, forcing you to postpone buying a video card.

NVIDIA and AMD are struggling to cope with a significant increase in demand from miners, but so far the situation has not changed much, and a new problem looms on the horizon: due to the limited number of desktop models of video cards, cryptocurrency miners have turned their eyes to mobile solutions, especially since efficiency the latter in mining may be even higher.

So, a few hours ago it became known about the performance level of the mobile GeForce RTX 3060 performed by Max-P when mining “ether” (Ethereum) – the recently announced novelty may interest a number of “diggers”, since its achievements are comparable to the result of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. which, with a lower power consumption, looks like a good option for mining cryptocurrency

Some miners are moving from theoretical calculations to practical application of their skills: “network detective”, known by the nickname harukaze5719, shared with the general public an image in which one of the “folk craftsmen” assembles a homemade farm for the extraction of cryptocurrency – the basis for it is the mobile video card GeForce RTX 3080.

It is quite possible that against the background of the shortage and high cost of desktop models of the GeForce RTX 30 series, a number of miners may give preference to their mobile “fellow tribesmen”, as a result of which, in the near future, laptops may already be in short supply
