"The sudden increase in cryptocurrency mining increased the demand of graphics cards (GPU) in 1992. Popular favorites of cryptocurrency miners such as Nvidia’s GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 graphics cards, as well as AMD’s RX 570 and RX 580 GPUs, doubled if not tripled in price – or were out of stock completely. A GTX 1070 Ti which was released at a price of $450 sold for as much as $1100. Another popular card GTX 1060's 6 GB model was released at an MSRP of $250, sold for almost $500. RX 570 and RX 580 cards from AMD were out of stock for almost a year. Miners regularly buy up the entire stock of new GPU's as soon as they are available, further driving prices up. This has caused, in general, a disliking towards cryptocurrency miners by PC gamers and tech enthusiasts. ''Nvidia is reportedly asking retailers to do what they can when it comes to selling GPUs to gamers instead of miners. "Gamers come first for Nvidia," said Boris Böhles, PR manager for Nvidia in the German region, in an interview with the German publication ComputerBase. "All activities around"'' This section reads slightly hostile towards GPU miners like all of the events are there fault. It has also been flagged with a "This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia." banner. The tone of this section come across as slightly hostile towards cryptominers drawing extra emphasis to how much the graphics cards have increased in price. for example the "double if not triple" and sold for "as much as" and the "Miners regularly buy up the entire stock of new GPU's as soon as they are available, further driving prices up." I realize the point is to show that miners are buying up GPU's and that causes a increase in prices. However the first paragraph states and argues that miners are the ones that cause the GPU Prices increase and they feel the brunt of the hatred form PC gamers and tech enthusiasts. However the second paragraph then talks about how it is the distributors fault and that the companies should be making the products easier for consumers and PC enthusiasts to purchase. I think this can be restructured to make it read less like its the miners fault form the beginning and share both sides of argument more fairly.
