Personally I think the crypto market should die in a hellhole.
The people who pay the true price aren't the ones making the money.Mined crypto should. How could such a bad idea be tolerated...

For instance, CMP lacks display outputs, enabling improved airflow while mining so they can be more densely packed. CMPs also have a lower peak core voltage and frequency, which improves mining power efficiency.
I don't believe nvidia should tell someone what to do or how to use a product they purchased.
Don't matter , people already hacked it and its now working.
yea like a company creating compilers that give competing companies worse performanceIt is a pretty bad precedent. It'd be like buying a CPU that's artificially limited in particular workloads just to create market segmentation. Like if you bought a cpu and it was artificially inflating compile times, and there was a different "programmer's" cpu you had to buy instead. I don't think anyone would be happy with that.
My understanding is that the cards would still run mining software, they just wouldn't run it at the same rate.I don't believe nvidia should tell someone what to do or how to use a product they purchased.

Compilation is likely harder to isolate as a workload, but we can tick off any number of features that differ from embedded/netbook/standard/pro/server lines for CPUs.
Some of them had real impacts, like varying vector ISA enablement, or sometimes custom or undocumented instructions.
I believe there was some hinting that Intel's implemented specific instructions for clients, and there are undocumented changes with performance impact like how the original Zen still supported FMA4 (I suppose somebody still wanted it.)
The same occurs with value/gamer/quadro cards or consumer/educational/professional licensing for software.
The distinction between non-commercial or professional/enterprise segmentation seems like a long-standing precedent to me.
I'm pretty sure the throttling is specific to an as-yet unreleased product line, and they're being up front about it.So basically they are forcing worse performance and telling you not to do this. What's worse they aren't clear on what cards this effects. If its in drivers whats to stop them from doing this to people who already purchased and are getting the performance they expect and later on the half your performance ?
What happens when the 40 series comes out and they want to sell more gpus so they decide to put out drivers where the old cards get half the frame rates?

Nvidia has avoided retroactive changes, perhaps because cards already out mining farms would not be updated to new drivers, and going after existing cards may dredge up times Nvidia discussed mining in an encouraging way for sold products.
Whether retroactive throttling could be done in the future in a manner that works, I'm not sure of the full implications or feasibility.

Damned if you do...danmed if you don't.
People...lol
EDIT:
Just be be a bit more clear.
For AGES people have whined about being unable to buy SKU's due to "scalpers and miners".
People have raged over NVIDIA selling SKU's directly to miners.
Now they make mining SKU's...and reduced the hash-rate in gamer cards...and people still whine.
TL;DR People love to whine and should be ignored
Most likely it's not the same people...
There is a person with 3060s already mining he said he would post a video , this was posted to reddit 16 hours ago so I dunno when exactly tommorow is for him but i guess we should see more proof.
