Nvidia literally sells mining cards that do not have outputs

This is all a scheme to stop the used market from ruining their MSRP pricing.

meanwhile, at AMD headquarters...

AMD isn't even going to limit performance on gaming cards, nor are they using a different node for their mining cards like NVIDIA. They are straight-up just going to shunt wafers over to mining cards, while letting miners have both the mining cards and the gaming cards.
