But is it not just as frivolous; personal gain with no advancement to humanity? I'd be interested to know the ratio between number of graphic cards in the world used for gaming versus mining.

AMD Threadripper is better at mining Cryptonight than a 1080Ti, so pick up some threadrippers instead of gpus please 
“With 32MB on Threadripper we can run 15 threads very fast, and for CryptoNight that could allow Threadripper to get almost the same ballpark as RX Vega. Vega can go higher, but then you have to tweak memory and stuff like that. But, if you’re not tweaking Vega, Threadripper can be within the same ballpark, and it will be much faster than a 1080 Ti for example in CryptoNight.”

So that's about the same power draw as the i9-7980XE when running a mild overclock.
I leave the 7980XE in the garage mostly.
Normally I use an err frugal 6950X.
BTW kaap, you should open a new thread with this newly released Final Fantasy XV benchmarkI leave the 7980XE in the garage mostly.

I have been thinking about it
Would there be much demand for it
The good news is the stand alone bench is free to download.

i picked the article from Reddit
Once all this mining carry on crashes, which it will , they sure will come crawling back to the real customers who keep shops like this open, but for now there like drug dealers with lots of junkies to feed, shame really but this is what money does to people, hence the silence from the shop.

AMD Ramps up GPU Production - Blames Availability of Graphics Memory
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/am...n-blames-availability-of-graphics-memory.html
Finally we now know why GPU price had gone BOOM over the last month or two.
It absolutely nothing to do with miners! They not blamed for it, actually severe shortage of GDDR5, GDDR5X and HBM2 memory chips are to blamed for soared GPU prices.
Guess AMD now have enough GDDR5 and HBM2 chips to supply through the next 3 months while Hynix, Micron and Samsung all three are busy mass produce 10-18Gb GDDR6 memory chips for Nvidia next gen Volta or Ampere gaming GPUs.

Well Lisa Su got the secret memo, it all Hynix, Micron and Samsung's faults by scaled down GDDR5, GDDR5X and HBM2 productions.

Bench thread is now open.

It's called supply and demand for a reason.
If your demands exceeds your supply, you're going to have a bad time.
If your demand skyrockets that certainly doesn't help.
And I sincerely hope nobody would be daft enough to argue that mining doesn't affect demand.

The first paragraph in that article states the shortage is mainly due to crypto.
If you want to post in big writing to labour a point at least get your facts right.

You guys are all getting a little heated in here, eh.
Both for and against need to stop making such black and white arguments. It's like far left vs far right, where an idea eclipses reality.

The memory shortages over the years has been due to manufacturers keeping the supply tight to keep prices high, it has nothing to do with mining.
If the truth be known I suspect that the % of memory used on mining cards is very small compared to the total market for chips.

It's comical, isn't it.
It's also quite an interesting insight into how confirmation bias works; incredible how he could have read that article and completely ignored that, probably unintentionally.
That bubble is bursting.
