NVIDIA Asks Retailers to Sell its GPUs to Gamers, Not Cryptominers
The situation has become so bad- we’re talking GTX 1080s selling at over $1,000 apiece here- that NVIDIA has been forced to issue an advisory to retailers, asking them to sell to “gamers, not cryptominers” in Europe, and encouraging them to limit sales of products to two per customers- cryptominers usually buy a whole lot of these in a bunch.
It sounds like a fair response, but it also beggars the question of just how practical this advice is, and whether or not it will actually end up bringing the situation under control.
