NVIDIA Reportedly Launching New GeForce RTX 3060 With New GA106-302 GPU

An informative post about Malaysia.

NVIDIA’s is reportedly planning to launch a new GA106-302 Ampere GPU that will feature a better, more effective cryptomining limiter. Moreover, the GPU is expected to ship out with the next batch of GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, thus replacing the current GA106-300 GPU.

As a quick recap, NVIDIA launched its GeForce RTX 3060 back in February this year, while also promising that it will be limiting the GPU’s hashrate in an effort to deter GPU miners from strangling an already constricted supply chain.

Unfortunately, the GPU brand accidentally released a driver that effectively killed the limiter and it didn’t take long for miners already in possession of multiple RTX 3060s to exploit NVIDIA’s snafu, among other more creative bypasses.

The GA106-302 GPU is expected to launch next month, with NVIDIA saying that the released driver will not work with the new component, but will also feature “further mechanisms” to ensure that cryptomining – primarily, Ethereum – with the RTX 3060 will not be as profitable or cooperative as RTX 3060s running on the GA106-300 GPU.

In addition to this bit of news, a tweet by popular leakster, kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi) says that NVIDIA could also be launching anti-mining variants of its GA102 and GA104 GPUs. Although when exactly that is, is anyone’s guess for now.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Cards Reportedly Already Being Sold On Second Hand Market

By Leave a Comment

An interesting post on Penang.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is still days away from its official launch, yet by the power of capitalism, the card has already begun appearing on an online retail store that caters to a second hand market. The good news, depending on your view, is that the cards only being in Belarusian site called Onliner.

One particular seller is offering up three Gigabyte RTX 3060 Eagle OC cards for 2800 Belarusian Rubles, which comes up to approximately RM4370 per card. Yes, you read that right; that is the price the seller is charging for one card, and not all three of them.

In addition to the price, the seller says that one of the cards in the list had already been opened up for the purpose of “verification”. By that statement alone, it is highly likely that the seller wanted to test the card out for mining purposes and see how much NVIDIA had limited its prowess as a cryptominer.

CMP

To quickly recap: last week, NVIDIA announced that it would be launching cryptomining specific GPUs, known officially as CMP, to address the ongoing and sordid GPU mining issue. At the same time, the GPU maker also announced that it will limit the RTX 3060‘s hashrate as a mining GPU, in an effort to deter miners and scalpers from scooping up what little stock of the card there is, or will be at launch.

We’ve mentioned before that buying a graphics card that was previously used for mining is usually a bad idea. Not all miners reveal the current state of the card at sale; they can tell you that it was used for mining, but what they would be reluctant to disclose to you is just how long the card was used for that purpose.

GIGABYTE

That leads us nicely into another piece of good news. Whether the seller did it on purpose or is unaware of their action, one of the pictures clearly shows the serial number of all three cards. This alone would make it easier for Gigabyte to find out where the card is sold, and to whom it was sold.

NVIDIA Will Be Limiting GeForce RTX 3060 Hash Rate To Deter Cryptocurrency Miners

By Leave a Comment

An informative article about Penang.

Alongside the announcement of NVIDIA Cryptocurrency Minis Processor (CMP), the GPU company has also revealed that they will be limiting the cryptocurrency mining capability of their upcoming graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3060.

Scheduled to launch on 25 February, the RTX 3060 will be the most affordable option in the RTX 30 Series family which means that it is likely to have high demand from consumers. This also means that the card would be more accessible for cryptocurrency miners to buy in bulk as well, which could affect the card’s availability to its intended users: gamers.

CMP

In its effort to stop that from happening, the drivers for RTX 3060 have been designed to limit the card’s capability to mine Ethereum cryptocurrency. Specifically, NVIDIA claimed that the implementation will cut the hash rate to around 50 per cent which hopefully will be deterrent enough to miners out there and turn them over to NVIDIA CMP cards instead.

While that sounds like an interesting plan, we not sure if it will really address the GPU shortage that the market is facing right now though. Additionally, some miners already looking at gaming laptops to get their job done anyway.
