Let’s talk about what is slag today? Be careful when you see a high-end graphics card that is too cheap~

Before starting today's topic, I wonder if you have heard the term slag?

This slag is not the slag of the real mine, but a term derived from the virtual currency that has become popular in recent years.

I believe that everyone has heard the term bitcoin, and the generation of bitcoin requires miners to use mining machines to mine.

Bitcoin production is not the subject of this article, so I won't go into too much detail.

However, the mining machine that mines Bitcoin needs the computing power of the graphics card to support it.

The more bitcoins that the graphics card is about, the more high-end mining will naturally be.

A mining machine is generally equipped with more than six high-end graphics cards to mine more virtual currency.

So this also led to why the price of graphics cards was so high in the past.

The durability of graphics cards used for mining machines is far lower than that of graphics cards used for video games or other purposes.

If the average lifespan of a graphics card is three years in normal use, the lifespan of the miner may be less than one year.

And these eliminated graphics cards are called slag in the industry.

If these slag is used in the home host,

One is that the game may not run.

Second, the life of the computer is likely to be shortened at the same time.

Third, the computer may not even turn on after installation.

The only advantage of these slag is that it is much lower than the market price.

So many students are attracted to make purchases, but the problems caused by the purchase may cost more money.

The reason for so much slag is related to the virtual currency ban announced by China before.

Because of this ban, mines in many places have been forced to close.

These closed mining farms were forced to sell their graphics cards to stop losses.

Therefore, these slag flowed in large quantities in the second-hand market all over the world during this period.

To suggest that you buy these high-priced products, it is better to find a well-known or trustworthy store to be more secure~
