Needless to mention, with these design choices, NVIDIA has made a bold statement that their GeForce products are for gamers, not cryptocurrency miners. However, they will be highly suitable for mining cryptocurrency.ĬMP products will be designed to maximize cryptocurrency mining efficiency while having no impact on NVIDIA’s supply of GeForce/gaming products. These limitations will render the Graphics Cards useless for gaming. NVIDIA’s CMP products will lack display outputs and cannot output graphics.
How Will GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics Cards For Crypto-Mining Differ From Their Gaming Counterparts? Hence, to meet the needs of cryptocurrency miners, Nvidia will be creating CMP (Crypto Mining Processors) to help satisfy the market’s demand for mining performance. Incidentally, the company does value the Cryptocurrency mining industry. "GeForce Is Made for Gaming" – Nvidia cripples the RTX 3060's Crypto mining performance.
#Nvidia graphic driver update throttle drivers#
NVIDIA has claimed that their RTX 3060 “software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm”, preventing the RTX 3060 from reaching its peak performance levels when mining Ethereum. This will make the graphics card less attractive to cryptocurrency miners. Nvidia has confirmed that the company will throttle the RTX 3060’s Ethereum mining performance by 50 percent. GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics Cards To Detect Purpose And Act Accordingly:
The company’s GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics Cards will not be an attractive choice to crypto miners owing to the rather surprising design modification. ‘GeForce Is Made for Gaming’, and not for other purposes, announced NVIDIA. The GPU maker will intentionally throttle the Graphics Card’s performance if used for Mining Cryptocurrency. NVIDIA has promised that the latest Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics Cards will remain a preferred choice for gamers.
