https://www.pcgamer.com/desktop-gpu-sales-normalize-as-crypto-mining-gold-rush-ends-report-says/ > A new report by Jon Peddie Research (PDR) indicates that the PC market has "shaken off the gold rush fever of crypto-mining," pushing GPU shipments back to normal levels. Going forward, JPR doesn't anticipate cryptocurrency mining having any further impact on the sales of graphics cards, and the GPU market at large. > "We can mark Q1’18 as the peak and last hurrah of the crypto-mining fever. Desktop GPUs, which went into mining rigs, have dropped back to their normal volume," JPR said. "We believe the market for AIBs [add-in boards] for crypto-mining has ended and this will likely be our last mention of it."
