Yeah it seems totally stupid for them to do this.
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.
Yeah, too many underlying issues to follow. I guess what nvidia wants is --> buy our crap mining gpus for 10 times more money and in the return get 3 months warranty hehe
