Ethereum mining ASIC set to launch in July could bring GPU prices back down to earth

Cryptocurrency mining giant, Bitmain, have just confirmed they will be launching their own Ethereum ASIC miner: the Antminer E3. Why should gamers give a damn? Well, it could ease graphics card demand globally, for one.

Looking for a shiny new GPU? Here are the best graphics cards of 2018.

Thanks to its ASIC-resistant design, Ethereum is one of the largest GPU-sinks in the crypto-business - which hasn’t been great for the graphics card market. However, Bitmain are betting on their new Antminer turning a profit and that could signal a big change in the future of the Ethereum cryptocurrency and the market as a whole.
