Instead of just ramping production they rather shoot themselves in the foot.
Smart strategy.

At the end of the day Nvidia should ONLY care about the price gauging going on and nothing else.

Either that or make a viable mining card that competes Mh vs Mh to regular gpus. None this gimped CMP crap that will ultimately cost more to purchase and use more power.  This is like MPG all over again.  This new shinny car does 30mpg, on a 16gallon tank and produces 300hp.  Cool, we currently get 45mpg on a 9 gallon tank producing 450hp so what benefit do we get switching? Nothing?  Ok, you can keep the car and I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
