Η Nvidia now installs cryptocurrency mining cutters in three more graphics card models designed to discourage those who deal with it cryptomining.
Οi large shortages observed in their market GPU they pushed her Nvidia to limit cryptocurrency mining performance to three additional models.
"We have reduced the hash rate of the new GeForce RTX 3080, 3070 and 3060 Ti cards so that they do not become a buying target for miners," Reported the company on Tuesday.
The Ethereum hash rate cutter was first introduced last February, but only in RTX 3060 which costs in the American market 399 dollars. The company's goal was to discourage miners from buying it by reducing its production efficiency. Ethereum.
However, this strategy had gaps. To avoid the "cutter", consumers bought older models in the series RTX 3000 which had no problem.
The announcement Nvidia promises to fill this gap. The company plans to sell the first ones RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 Ti with the "cutter" in the hash rate of Etherium at the end of the month. "We believe that this extra step will result in GeForce graphics cards having a better selling price and getting into the hands of gamers,The company added.
It also means that the RTX 3090, the value of which starts from 1.499 dollars, will be the only graphics card for a desktop computer that will not have a cutter.
H Nvidia and its suppliers, intend to mark the cards by stating “Lite Hash Rate,"Or"Lhr”, In the box but also at the places of sale. The company also added that this change concerns the new cards that are being manufactured and not those that have already been purchased.
Of course we bet the miners will somehow try to turn him off Ethereum hash limiter, which is installed on the GPU firmware. In March, Nvidia mistakenly offered a way around it limiter. Since then, of course, he has succeeded and evolved, making it also more difficult to bypass.
