I wonder what the long lasting impact of the cryptocurrency craze will be. Will there be any white paper, technology or insight that gets repurposed for something useful?
@ekuber Me personally, I don’t believe the massive crypto market’s use of GPUs will saturate the gamers market - hoping for a price crash of older powerful cars.
@sigaloid I feel that gaming passed the "visual fidelity"/"cost of game production" threshold some time back, so although the additional cheap compute power might not be taken advantage by most games. Having said that, maybe there's some application of stable diffusion or some other GPU intensive operation that might become common part of regular computer use.
@ekuber Yep, honestly I'm hoping for a crash for older 4gb cards specifically for stable diffusion 😅
