Gamers are their long term market and miners come and go. NVIDIA is really just doing this to show that they care about their core gamer crowd because right now gamers are seriously angry about all the jacked up prices due to mining.

Yup, as shown in the past, mining is only a temporary spike. They need to take care of the core market.

On Twitter, Bryan Del Rizzo (Director of global PR for GeForce) confirmed that the anti-crypto technology works as a secure handshake between the driver, the GPU silicon, and BIOS. The latter confirms that this is indeed a BIOS implementation and explains how RTX 3060 in a very early test was already seeing the limited performance. The technology simply does not need a driver to work.

What is particularly interesting here is that according to the tweets, NVIDIA would relaunch its existing SKUs under a new Device ID. This means that future RTX3090/3080/3070/3060Ti models would carry a different ID and feature the anti-crypto algorithm. It is unclear when and if NVIDIA will even announce this change

If they back date on any older model

RTX3090/3080/3070/3060Ti

they will be sued.

Evga has a queue for all models

in the

3090
3080
3070
3060ti

If you went on the queue prior to the 3060 cripple announcement you are entitled to a working

3060ti
3070
3080
3090

thousands of people are on the lists I am on lists for 23 cards all before the crippling 3060

So I listed for mining cards I would be entitled to sue on each and every crippled one then send to me.

They would not be allowed to back date.

So the solution will fuck evga big time if it is applied to any and all of the older 3000 cards.

Think of it this way you sign on a waiting list for a 3090 and for evga cripples it for gaming after you signed up for it.

you are entitled to damages. So while they may cripple the 3060 I do not think they will quickly cripple the older 3000 series card.

btw if do then they hand over a huge edge to AMD cards.
