Man I want to emphasize that Intel should really stick to the dGPU venture until they find success because it's not looking good for Alchemist if that's true. If the GPU prices drop, Eth goes PoS, and supply improves because lockdowns finally end(it should have 2 years ago) then their incentive to continue will face real roadblocks.
Being slow in DX11 is weird since @Shivansps test is showing DG1 doing better on DX11.
"80% hardware, 20% software" also supports my suspicion that Intel gets blamed too much for bad drivers when the culprit was often the hardware itself.
I have some really bad news for you. ETH doesn't control the market. ETH contributes, sure, however, Bitcoin is king. Note that I have several thousand tied up in ETH (my cost is around $1,400 per coin or so, so I could sell at any time and make bank), so I am pro ETH. I do know who the big daddy is, however. ETH's price is about 70% derived from the price of BTW. ETH became popular because BTW became impossible to mine with a regular GPU. Miners flocked to ETH, demand for BTC dropped (though not enough to tank price), and ETH became valuable. When ETH finally goes PoS (whenever that may be), another mined coin will jump up and be the coin of the year. Shoot, if the dogecoin devs fixed their coin, dogecoin could very well be that next coin.
Until the US or Europe ban crypto mining or crypto trading, you will never see a real dump of GPUs or GPU availability on the market. My boss buys up 3090s and 6900 XTs all the time in order to mine ETH in his garage (he has 70+ 3090s and 30+ 6900XTs. he also has a few 3080s, but he mostly purchases the high-end stuff). I mine ETH in my basement (though I do so part time on my 3090 and full time on a couple other cards I own, I've zero desire to invest a ton of money on GPUs right now).
