Cryptocurrency vs Gamers: How Nvidia hopes to fight mass GPU shortages 💰

In a move to stop Ethereum crypto-miners, Nvidia has developed its next GPU to deter them. The RTX 3060 will have hardware and software measures in place to combat miners, and hopefully reserve some stock for PC gamers.

    You guys should watch how Linus from LTT views this topic. This move by NVIDIA won’t change a thing at all.

      The 3060 already has been cracked, the shortage will still continue sadly

      No, it’s the scalpers who have been doing that, selling them for double or triple the retail price.

    • JustTheo

      February 26, 2021 at 3:49 pm

      Miners pre-ordered their cards and got them on release date, the bigger problem rn is scalper bots

    But I’ll like it for good effort, also btw, they did this mostly for more money and the 3060 got cracked already XD, like kinda rookie you didn’t get that all to the point but I can’t blame you.
    Also, fix ur mic

    THIS MOVE IS NOT HELPING ANYONE. CMP = future E-Waste, just makes it so they won’t be on the market for gamers after people are done mining with them. Also 3060 mines anything else perfectly so what’s the fkn point?! CNET might as well be The Verge when it comes to PC content. Hey Jeff, do your research first or stick to consoles!

    No you no understand all the RTX 3060Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and last RTX 3090 are the all old version like it got a GPU code. Now the new upcoming RTX 3060, RTX 3060Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and last RTX 3090 will have in them new GPU code what mean you cannot miner on them and not made for mining. Nvidia is saving our gamers is not done this way PC gaming up to now is dying and not only that but workstation.

    this basically sets the precedent that you don’t own your own card. Some of us mine to pay off our cards.

    Did anyone notice they used a 3080 with the 8 replaced with 6 in their thumbnail?

    Buy the dips in Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Nvidia
    Texas is snowed in and no electricity = tesla sucks
    Bitcoin and Tesla SPECULATION are gambling, not investing.

    capitol riot means a covid19 petri dish; we need another lockdown.
    we have streaming and don’t need to travel or go to a commercial theater and avoid
    covid19, mass shooting (gun sales doubled in 2020), police killing nonwhites like George Floyd, and exploding RVs like in
    Nashville, capitol rioters bringing pipe bombs…

    long-term losers, mark my words: gamestop, hertz, bitcoin, tesla
    long-term winners: buy AMAZON, APPLE, FACEBOOK, NVIDIA

    The CEO and co-founder of One River Asset Management, Eric Peters, shared his view on bitcoin at length in an interview with Bloomberg. Firstly he revealed that his asset management firm now holds bitcoin “well in excess of a billion dollars at this point.” He then discussed the case for institutional investors to own cryptocurrencies currently. Meanwhile while others still continue to trade without the fear of making lose, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. i would say trading has been going smoothly for me after accumulating over 6.7BTC in just two weeks, with the trading strategy given to me by crypto Tasos. They are methods are top notch and profitable. give it a try guys. You can easily get through to them on telgrm @Tasoscryptosignals OR ω𝐇𝓐𝓽ѕ𝓐ρ𝐩 12104391774

    • Anfisa Delrio linda

      it’s now risky to buy bitcoin and wait for it to appreciate in price, and i once made that mistake and i lost in the past, thanks to crypto Tasos almighty strategy.

    • Thomas Buffet

      February 26, 2021 at 3:59 pm

      Crypto Tasos made profiting my culture, i regretted not knowing this way of trade few months ago before i lost, it’s all good, am recovering. and i will never forget this good deed.

    • Erin Cawley

      am very confident about this crypto Tasos strategy, My friends trades bitcoin with his strategy, and they always show me their profit, this is an opportunity to grab before it closes.

    • Rosemary Macedo

      February 26, 2021 at 4:13 pm

      Absolutely crypto Tasos daily signal is very profitable, Last month i grew a total profits of 4.1btc by trading actively with his signals as well.

    Nvidia isn’t doing this to stop miners, they are doing this as an EXCUSE to produce cards with a very limited life, that are also worthless in an Ebay 2nd hand market, basically forcing more people to buy new cards.

    They could simply put their resources to making more cards that everybody can use, instead they are wasting resources (especially VRAM) on cards that gamers specifically can’t use, while miners can still use both because the 3060 only limits ethereum, but none of the other crypto-mining.

    The worst part is nvidia is essentially making a product that will go straight to the landfill in 6 to 12 months once the miners are done with them, but nvidia will keep churning out newer garbage mining cards to sell

    This won’t stop crypto. And it doesn’t work for Bitcoin. The blame should be on nvidia and and for selling to scalpers.
