15:19:45 <hyc> score another win for CPU-centric PoW https://twitter.com/jedisct1/status/1362419712659972102
15:20:13 <hyc> Nvidia gimping their GPUs so they can gouge miners
15:24:17 <sech1> place your bets on how many days (hours) it will take to release hacked drivers
15:25:40 <hyc> lol no kidding
15:27:12 <hyc> deliberately cutting perf by 50%, that's ... bold
15:29:19 <sech1> 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
15:29:48 <sech1> RTX 3060 will be enslaved for mining anyway, no gamers will see them
15:29:48 <hyc> well, maybe. the price/perf incentive still has to be there.
15:30:03 <hyc> if they price the CMP products correctly, the GPU problem goes away
15:30:42 <hyc> which also means, if they priced the CMP correctly, they wouldn't need to muck with the GPU drivers at all
16:02:01 <hv-bridge> <\x> yeah then next time intel or amd will do this too via microcode
16:02:15 <hv-bridge> <\x> thank you for giving them an idea nvidia
16:42:58 <hyc> Intel already does this
16:43:24 <hyc> they sell a single die as an entire product line, each chip just has different features fused on or off
16:43:49 <hyc> AMD also sells as single die as an entire product line, but they don't fuse any features off
16:44:50 <hyc> at most AMD sells multicore chips with some bad cores fused off
18:05:40 <hv-bridge> <\x> i mean yeaaah
18:06:19 <hv-bridge> <\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
