The current situation of the video card market, already plagued by the impossibility of satisfying the demand from the main producers and the victim of real profiteers who buy, thanks to bots, the few pieces on the market and then resell them at higher prices, has been further made worse by miner, which, after the surge in the value of Bitcoin of the last few weeks, they have done everything possible to acquire as many products, moving also in the world of notebooks.
To all this NVIDIA has decided to remedy this by trying to put a spoke to the wheels on the miners who wish to purchase the most GeForce RTX 3060 on launch and, consequently, leaving the players with nothing in their hands. Indeed, through, a message posted on your own blog, the Californian company announced that, in order to make the cards less attractive to those who want to mine, some driver changes, which will be able to detect certain characteristics of the algorithm for mining the Ethereum cryptocurrency and, in that case, they will reduce efficiency by about 50% by limiting the hash rate. This operation was carried out to allow the cards to be purchased more easily by the players, the real recipients of the device, who will exploit it to run their video games at their best and use all the features that the product makes available to them, such as the technologies DLSS, effects of Ray Tracing in real time, Reflex and more.
At the same time, NVIDIA, to meet the specific needs of miners, announced CMP (Cryptocurrency Mining Processor), a professional product line, sold through authorized partners, optimized for mining operations e no video outputs, allowing for better airflow. In addition, CMP products will have lower clock frequencies and voltages in order to increase energy efficiency. This, in theory, should limit the miners’ damage to the consumer video card market.
