“RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent.”
Nvidia will cripple the card in the driver, then sell miners a separate card with no display outputs. That is not a gift to gamers. It is market segmentation, and the mining cards can’t be resold to gamers when the boom ends. The limit only lasts until someone patches the driver.
