Maybe shocking but in earlier of today thread, people were saying that it's good news, so yeah...

Well, it is in the short-term if the alternative is never being able to buy a new GPU in the first place.

Once we are corona free within five years, will gpu's be more available?

I hadn't thought about it this way, but now that Linus said it, yeah, that makes total sense.

Well the chip shortages means, that chips are going to be allocated between both SKUs...

True. But at least half of them should be on the table now. Should take some of the bite out of the scalping since crypto miners will generally pay a higher price than a gamer would.

@kyliethicc your ideas were stolen, you should demand a cut.

For the people that buy new gpus every couple years this doesn’t change much.

Well it was response to claims that it's a good thing earlier today, so. I know kind of reactionary.

Nvidia adds a cryptocurrency mining limiter that 'cannot be hacked' to the RTX 3060 - Announce new cryptocurrency mining graphics card
https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-ethereum-mining-limiter-cannot-be-hacked/ Nvidia is laying down the gauntlet for code-savvy miners, as it claims that its cryptocurrency hash rate limiter on the upcoming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB graphics card—which is applied in software, not hardware—is unhackable...

Does not Linus have a bitcoind farm?. Anyway, I do not suscribe to Linus nor Nvidia.

No big corporation is your friend, you are just a source of income. AMD doesn't care about you, or Microsoft, or Sony or Nintendo. They only care that you are giving them an income, some are just better than others at making you think they are doing it for you.
Linus does not care about you either by the way, you are just a product to his advertisers.

Makes a lot more sense now. Lol how embarrassing of Nvidia, and this comes from a team Green fanboy.One of our own already said this , even better :

I don't think there's one single big company, that cares about its customers. It's all about the benjamins, the euros, the Franks, ETC.

Watched the first 10 seconds and I agree. "Oh no, gigantic corporation doesn't care about it's customers".
No shit. Unnecessary thread.

my comment to this was:
Linus: complained about NVIDIA care about it's stock price and say that it's bad.
also Linus 15 seconds later: do an advertising

in an alt reality where corona never existed the gpu situation wouldn't be that much different rn

So what's the over-under on how long it takes before cryptominers hack these new cards and use them to mine anyway? 2 weeks? 3 or 4? Probably a relatively short window unless Nvidia has worked some circuit level encryption into the mix for securing the bios.

He's 100% right. It's really a bullshit move by Nvidia from a consumer perspective. I wonder if this will help AMD at all (yeah right).
He never claimed it was bad to try to make money. This is a ridiculous take.

I remain watchful and mildly pessimistic. Shit in Taiwan is heating up and China are about to choke rare earth supply. (they are estimated to have around 80% of the supply chain)

Well Linus is running a business that feeds many mouths, too, and you can skip the ads with one mouse click.

WE KNOW. Until AMD gets their cards up to snuff, Nvidia cards are the way to go.

Maybe they shouldn't sell mining cards period. Just gimp them and that's it. I can't say I care too much about the waste miners produce. The whole thing is waste.
It's still good for gamers. Gamers by gaming cards and sell them on the used market. With less used cards from crypto the prices will be a little better for the sellers.
Its better for Nvidia because they can track each market independently and gouge the fucking miners.

And there will be less gaming cards because of this

Replace Nvidia with any company name and internalize it. Once you’ve come to grips with it, you’ll be surprised how much clearer your understanding of the world becomes and you’ll also eliminate 90% of the threads asking “why would XX company do this or that”.

F*ck off Linus. Such a punchable face!
Just for the hell of it decided to check to see what's in stock.
Newegg, Amazon, all the big online stores, also our local Microcenter.
There is nothing. Some weird crap cards like GT 1030 and GT 710 (I have no idea why they exist). That's it.
I do not think I've ever seen it like this.
Is it demand? Supply?
Even stuff like 1650 and 1660 is gone, I don't think you can mine much on those...

People who are building for the first time due to the lockdowns are grabbing whatever they can get at this point. I was in my local shop back when the 30 series cards first launched and a guy that came in for a 3080 left with a 2060 because the store had nothing better left in stock. He ended up just getting that card because everything else was ready to go.
It was a perfect storm really.
- regulation on mining resources is causing the cost of mining resources to go up and production to slow down
- flu season happened so lockdowns will never end, stuck at home people need something to do so every device is selling gangbusters due to lockdowns
- Crypto value is ballooning as financial markets tied to central banks are looking pretty shit right now causing a surge in mining
I see it getting a lot worse before it gets better.

Nvidia knows they are popular when they do literally anything and start getting dragged by someone for it. This must be what being Apple is like.

I’ve been driving by their new hq while they were building it for the past few years since I live 5 miles away. Looks expensive.
I’m shocked to hear they are all about money. Who are the recent Linus sponsors btw?

But they said they weren’t like the other companies that only wanted me for my money.
