Chip giant Nvidia is extending its measures to limit the usefulness of its graphics cards for cryptomining, making the announcement it will halve the hash rate on a number of its RTX 30-series GPUs.
“GeForce products are made for gamers,” the company said in a blog post.
“Today, we’re taking additional measures by applying a reduced ETH hash rate to newly manufactured GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards. These cards will start shipping in late May.”
