They bought over 3 million graphics cards - cryptocurrencies
Graphics cards are used primarily by players, but they are also bought by cryptocurrency diggers
Bitcoin diggers drive the sale of graphics cards. According to the report of Jon Peddie Research, in 2017, they received $ 776 million in their hands.
They bought over 3 million graphics cards by digging cryptocurrencies. JPR notes that the main beneficiary was AMD. Globally, however, sales of video cards have decreased by 4.8 percent. last year. Reason? The report indicates rising prices. 
"Gaming was the main driving force behind the sales of graphics cards, and this tre>quotend will continue, supported by the demand from crypto-rescuers," comments Dr. Jon Peddie, head of JPR, quoted in the report.
He claims that some players who, despite the increase in the price of graphics cards, decide to purchase them, can compensate for the costs incurred by digging cryptocurrency at a time when their computers are not used to play.
Upvoted ☝ Have a great day!
I looked at mining but realized the price of the rig etc wasn't worth it. Rather put the money into trading and would be less hassle.
