Good luck building a VR PC: Ethereum miners are buying all the GPUs

article22

This article is misguided...the only cards which aren't in stock are those which are best for crypto mining.

So low end and high end stock is unaffected still though the GTX 1080 Ti is getting more and more popular.

VR doesn't need that much grunt and the GTX 1080 is easily good enough and no one wants them for mining as there is a problem with DDR5X memory still.

Microsoft's nightmare DEEPENS: Windows 8 market share falling fast

Thumb Down

Erm their share *has* increased!

I don't understand this article...Microsoft has released 8.1 as a upgrade to 8.0 so everyone on 8.0 should be moving over...on the graphs it clearly shows that trend plus all new PCs now have 8.1 as well.

You have to add up *both* 8.0 and 8.1 to find out the proper OS percentage which is at around 14%, a lot higher than the 7% at the start.

It's not much though :)
