A few days ago, desperate news swept across the Runet: the best video cards have disappeared from sale! The top and middle, and sometimes even bottom positions in the ratings of video cards in 2017, which ordinary users were guided by, were sold out in computer stores in Russia. The fault is not gambling addiction, as one might think, but cryptocurrency. The most powerful graphics cards can be used to make virtual money, so those who wanted to create them used graphics card performance ratings to determine where to invest their money.
