ZOTAC enrages PC gamers by promoting GeForce RTX as mining GPUs
The new cryptocurrency mining trend is unquestionably agitating the PC Gaming community. ZOTAC just got their ass handed back to them. On social media, ZOTAC USA posted a photo with a mining farm of ZOTAC cards; with the text An army of #ZOTACGAMING GPU's hungry for coin!
As anybody with a little sense could have anticipated; that tweet did not sit well see ... many gamers are paying double the price for a graphics card these days (if they even can get a hold of one) due to, amongst others, cryptocurrency mining. It seems ZOTAC grew a soft spot for miners, as well .. each card sold is a card sold, right?
Once the tweet got posted, ZOTAC received an avalanche of criticism for evangelizing cryptocurrency mining. Shortly thereafter, the tweet was removed.

Zotac sucks anyways. Just when I thought MSI was doing the stupidest crap lately.

Unlikely as Bitcoin and it's ilk will crash again within a month or two.
How long before no one sell cards anymore as the card makers just end up making more money using their own stock to cryptomine. lol

this is all down to fab capacity
even if someone decided to make separate,dedicated mining hardware,who's gonna take the order ? tsmc is already booked 2 years in advance,if not more,and so is samsung probably.
I like the look of those white cards btw
and the triple fan one too
