the 3070ti and 3080ti come out today.

they are crippled for mining eth.

so maybe don't buy cards for a while.

the NewEgg Shuffle is all 3080ti's

Years ago we really have some professional modders that can make quadro cards works like normal gtx970 or so with just normal driver modding why is this difficult today? I don't know why Nvidia is doing all this when GPU mining is the main reason they are selling hard

Well the reason is that 'gamers' are the 'marketed' reason for the GPU boards, they're essentially designed to game, that why they have 3-6 HDMI ports on the card; Right now the gamers are pissed, they can't find a GPU on earth at any price, the miners don't care because they only see ROI; So essentially the entire hobby, and the entire food-chain of developers of games goes on hold, which means that an entire multi-billion USD industry is destroyed. Certainly would have been better if some six years ago that NVIDIA just came out of 'gpu mining' cards but they didn't they stayed with the gaming roots.

Now everybody is pissed off at NVIDA,

Of course intentionally crippling cards is really bad business, this is going to hurt the gamers eventually as they cards will have no value, so the upgrade path for gamers will essentially be destroyed, its almost like the US-GOV is making decisions for NVIDIA, I mean its that incompetent, like as if FAUCCI ran NVIDIA at night after managing COVID by day.
