Maybe the gpu makers are missing something here. I wonder if they could devise a variant for miners that would create a split in the market.
Easy. Just
leave out the video connectors and associated circuitry.
So the variant
with the video connections would be priced less expensively?
Why wouldn’t the crypto miners just continue to buy the ‘video’ version if the GPU/$ ratio is to their advantage?
Leaving bits out should
make the miner version less expensive. If the idea was to somehow make the actual video card, for video use, less costly than the version the bitcoin guys want, I do not see how this helps.
The crypto guys are willing and able to pay. There is a limited supply of high power GPU compared to demand. Until that demand is sated or the supply somehow outgrows the demand, I do not see a way for the price of modern GPU
for video enthusiasts to decrease.
