NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Anti-Mining Feature - tech
(hx) 11:34 AM CET - Feb,21 2021 - Post a comment / read (12)
NVIDIA announced (thanks Csimbi) the company's first Crypto Mining Processor (CPM) that serves the purpose of having a dedicated processor only for mining with no video outputs. Alongside the new processors, the company has also announced that in the next driver update the GeForce RTX 3060 GPU will get Etherium mining performance halved, limiting the use of this GPU SKU by miners. However, up until now, we have thought that NVIDIA is limiting the mining performance of this card by simply having a driver detect if crypto mining algorithms are in place and limit the performance. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. According to Bryan Del Rizzo, director of global PR for GeForce, more things are working behind the driver. According to Mr. Del Rizzo: "It's not just a driver thing. There is a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that prevents removal of the hash rate limiter." This means that essentially, NVIDIA can find any way to cripple the mining hash rate even if you didn't update your driver version. At the same time, according to Kopite7Kimi, we are possibly expecting to see NVIDIA relaunch its existing SKUs under a different ID, which would feature a built-in anti-crypto mining algorithm. What the company does remains to be seen.

I think it's a good move from Nvidia.
Let miners mine and let gamers game.

I anticipate AMD to follow suit with their offerings.

They could sweeten the deal by charging extra for the mining cards and use that extra to lower their GPU prices.

I am positive this wont have any effect. 1050Ti now, where I am, used ~200 eur. It can't mine, but due to shortage of everything else -non-mining cards went up 100% in price too.
Do you look forward to 600 eur non-mining 3060? I am not. I'd rather add some (if I were inclined to get robbed) money and get the normal one so that while I don't game I can just mine in background (which I am doing right now anyway) and make some of that money back.

I read a news article that mining uses as much energy as the whole of Argentina in one year!. Which is ridiculous. SO much for caring for the future of the planet. Hypocrites

I never said I care for the future of the planet. Planet will be fine anyways, it's us who might die. And I'd like to see that.

this is more perilous to us than how much Argentina is poor:

A million bottles a minute: world's plastic binge"
https://www.polyestertime.com/million-bottles-world-plastic/

hardly anything to do with mining, it's all about advertising and selling bottled sugar, by the US companies all over the world, right after they sell them cigarettes.

Csimbi(11:48 PM CET - Feb,21 2021 )
I'm sure it will have effect.
Buuy miners have no choice so they buy GPUs until the CMP is actually available.
Remember, this was just an announcement - it will take some time until you see these on the shelves. And even after that we have to wait a few months for the market so stabilize.

My worry here is the production volume.
They could not produce enough GPUs.
How will they be able to produce enough CMPs and GPUs?

I never said you did. What I’m saying is we have all these millennial hypocrites going on about plastic this... which they started. Along with costa/ Starbucks and the raping of the planet to fund their latest annual mobile phone upgrade. Yeah all the rarest materials go into phones and found deep in the earth or in sensitive regions. When I was younger bottles were glass; milk,juice and your ketchup bottles and everything else. They were also reused and returnable and .... you got money back! Shocker eh.

The other thing was sweet wrappers were paper. Snickers, Mars, toffee. Butchers gave you meat in paper bags. Chip shops sold suppers in newspapers... and so on. This generation did a good job on the planet. Cars and population were nonexistent. In my lifetime, the population has doubled since I was born and families were lucky to have one car. Now it’s 2-3 cars parked outside houses. And they blame the older generation. I still have ONE car and it’s 12 years old with less than 30k on the clock. Fully serviced annually. It’s only 1.2L. Because I walk or use public transport until we use the car maybe once or twice a week. Some people need to look at themselves in the mirror. Like that Greta Thunberg. Flying round the world to promote... what? Exactly what it’s doing. As you said, the population needs to fuck off and die or sterilise after one child.
Fucking humans! :twisted:

Not to me, I am over 40 so...Still, would like to see survival of the fittest once more even tho I'd most likely perish, so would most millenials and other arrogant pricks. Corona not doing a good job, we need at least a stadium big asteroid to tap The Earth to bring some order back here.

I’m 57 btw

I wouldn’t call some of this generation ‘men’ ffs. They use more female bathroom products than my wife! Facial hair and body hair is nonexistent also.
The worlds doomed then! :lol:

gx-x(03:36 PM CET - Feb,22 2021 )
Yup.

Asteroid.

psolord(08:35 PM CET - Feb,23 2021 )
Ok this thread escalated quickly.

I see this in a positive way. Nvidia is doing the right thing.

Actually it would be better if the card could unplug itself and force itself into the miner's butthole while the fucking gollum is asleep. Without lube!

But that's just me.

Fucking worthless creeps. Everyone wants to be rich with a click of the mouse. Lazy bastards power virusing the world. I wish it gets banned globally fml.

gx-x(08:44 PM CET - Feb,23 2021 )
It's not with a click of the mouse. It's like saying with a click of the mouse you built a new PC. Doesn't work that way. There are people making millions doing maintenance of rigs on site.
