Bitcoin or Etherminers have recently joined Asus for graphics cards that are specifically designed to "crypto" mining. The manufacturer has two GPUs available: the AMD-based Mining RX 470-4G and the Nvidia-based Mining P106-6G.

Coins exploit

Digital coins are not created with the click of a mouse. Cryptovaluta are based on advanced encryption and blockchain principles, using a chain of encrypted information to ensure the reliability of the coins and enable a decentralized approach. To find out more here, find all the information in our deep bitco file. To keep a long story short: To generate a bitcoin or other digital currency, a user must be able to handle his computer's complex encryption codes, which requires a lot of computing power and time . GPUs are more suitable for this task than CPUs, but they are not built to process continuous computational issues. Asus jumps into this hole in the market with its two new GPUs.

Optimized for hard labs

The Mining RX 470-4G and the Mining P106-6G have the durability to crack day after day. Asus based the maps around the AMD RX 470 and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, adding to the GPUs two fans that are dust resistant and double the life of the graphics cards, according to the manufacturer. The fact that these are not GPUs for regular consumers can be deduced from the number of ports on the cards: the Mining RX 470-4G has one DVI input, the Mining P106-6G does not contain any port. Asus claims that the Mining P106- 6G optimized to work 36 percent faster "compared to cards in the same segment that were not built for crypto currency extraction." Due to the vague description it is difficult to test that claim to reality. For the Mining RX 470-4G, the company does not make any claims. There is no information yet about the cost of these special bitcoin GPUs or availability.

Risk

It will be a guess if you will be able to repay your investment in special GPUs and the necessary electricity to run 24 hours on 24 with the win you make with your crypto currency. Bitcoin has increased significantly in recent months. However, there is little need to slow down the entire market, so it proved a recent crash that caused several millions of dollars in smoke.
