Re:Nvidia cripples cryptocurrency mining on RTX 3080 and 307... by lacker on Tuesday May 18, 2021 @06:02PM (#27201866)
how can anyone be ok with that?

I don't want to mine cryptocurrency on my graphics card. So given the choice of buying an unrestricted one off ebay for $2500, or a restricted one for the originally suggested price of $800, I would rather buy the restricted one. Nvidia isn't being dishonest, they aren't throttling the cards they already sold, they aren't claiming anything is moral or immoral, they are just offering a new product that does exactly what I want for cheaper. So I'm certainly okay with it.

I would like that too but it doesn't seem to be the case with the 'restricted' RTX 3060 (I would like to get it at RRP).
