The fight against the Coronavirus pandemic has reached the spheres of GPU mining, as the U.S. chip manufacturer NVIDIA launched a proposal for all users to use their computer resources to help the cause.
Through Reddit, the technology firm said that the “Folding@home” initiative was open to receive donations of unused GPU computing power and thus distribute it to an international processing power network to research COVID-19 and other diseases. The company extended the call to other gaming industry companies, such as Steel Series, NZXT and Razer, even hearing back from Intel Gaming and MSI, who responded to the thread posted on Twitter by NVIDIA.
Although the invitation was directly focused on gamers, cryptocurrency miners can also participate in the proposal, due to the amount of technological and hardware resources used for mining.
