How about you have a 3080 gpu pc with a good mining card die under warranty and they send you back a nerfed gpu in the new replacement pc. you may not be able to win in that lawsuit.

but see below:

How about you have a 3070 and it arrives doa today may 18th as you won it in the Newegg Shuffle on Friday the 14th, it was old school model so you send it back

and they send you an LHR replacement.

I see lawsuits all over the place.

You would win that lawsuit the case in bold.

I don't see a difference unless you are referring to the retailer replacing the DOA.
The only angle I see is the "equal or better" provision in manufacturer warrantees.
A nerfed replacement is not "equal or better". Nvidia could choose to give you a nerfed
version of a bigger model or just give a refund for your DOA.

IANAL but I see unfair business practice in intentionally targetting one crypto algo.

OKay so I don't mine and I own an alienware pc with a good 3070.

Pc dies due to a bad power supply they send me back a nerfed alienware new and sealed>

I am asking for full refund or seeing as the nerfed unit simply won't have the value of the original alienware had.

This is a really problem as the warranty is a year you got it for christmas. So you are entitled to an equal
replacement until Christmas 1 year later.

This is going to be an amazing shit storm. Should be fun to watch it.

Oh AMD will make out like a bandit. SO Nvidia is subsidizing them by doing this.
