Bitcoin mining video cards comparison
Sales of video cards in the current quarter could fall by more than 10% compared with the first quarter of the year. It is reported by DigiTimes,citing industry sources.
Estimated Jon Peddie Research,shipments of discrete accelerators in the first quarter of 2014 decreased compared with the last quarter of the 2013th by 6.7%. This is partly due to seasonal factors,partly – the downturn in the market for personal computers.

Mining essence is to solve a series of cryptographic tasks that support the functioning of the network Bitcoin.
During the course of last year grew feverishly Bitcoin,topping $ 1, 200 U.S.. Against this background,sharply increased demand for systems for mining equipped with powerful modern video cards. The fact is that to date the complexity of the calculations required so increased that Bitcoin mining on conventional computers simply become unprofitable.
But now the hype surrounding Bitcoin slept. In addition,increasingly used for mining specialized chips,rather than the PC video card. This explains the projected decline in sales of discrete graphics cards.
