Nvidia Against Selling Graphics Cards To Miners

Nvidia began asking sellers to stop selling graphics cards for cryptocurrency miners. All this to combat the GPU deficiency that has been going on for several months.

Nay! In recent days, buying anything from the mid-range to high-end in the US can be considered madness. Due to this, Nvidia is trying to fight the huge demand generated artificially by miners. These are not drastic methods, but you have to start somewhere. The company began selling more GPUs on its official website (of course in the form of reference editions) and asked sellers to limit the order limit to two pieces per person.

With such a move, the manufacturer also wants to encourage the purchase of specialist (and more expensive) Titan and Quadro series cards.

If you are wondering why Nvidia cares about the accessibility of its products to gamers at all, while entrepreneurs are willing to pay a lot more, then I’m in a hurry to answer. A user who buys a graphics card for ordinary home use is much more valuable as he will not abandon his hardware if cryptocurrency prices fall. We witnessed this situation a few years ago, when the market was flooded by a wave of used models, which disrupted the sale of new units for several months.
