Nvidia gimping their GPUs so they can gouge miners

place your bets on how many days (hours) it will take to release hacked drivers

lol no kidding

deliberately cutting perf by 50%, that's ... bold

what they're doing in reality is limiting RTX 3060 to big farms with on-site skilled devs who are able to write their own BIOS/drivers

RTX 3060 will be enslaved for mining anyway, no gamers will see them

well, maybe. the price/perf incentive still has to be there.

if they price the CMP products correctly, the GPU problem goes away

which also means, if they priced the CMP correctly, they wouldn't need to muck with the GPU drivers at all

<\x> yeah then next time intel or amd will do this too via microcode

<\x> thank you for giving them an idea nvidia

Intel already does this

they sell a single die as an entire product line, each chip just has different features fused on or off

AMD also sells as single die as an entire product line, but they don't fuse any features off

at most AMD sells multicore chips with some bad cores fused off

<\x> i mean yeaaah

<\x> i know some of these things like haswell OC bug if you run it with no microcode where all mobile chips are literally fully unlocked
