Based on the addendum tweet in particular , it can be seen that this is due to the expiry of all previous Ampere graphics cards *(excluding the GeForce RTX 3060)*and their simultaneous replacement by new graphics card models is to be implemented. These new models do not necessarily have to bring new or modified hardware specifications with them, but can definitely have exactly the same hardware specifications. The new models could therefore only have the cryptomining brake as a change compared to their predecessors. The point of the measure is that the new models can then no longer evade the cryptomining brake via BIOS flash or older drivers - because the device ID is different and nVidia has not had it for a long time (so easy ) can manipulate.
The shape of the whole thing, however, is still unclear: Speculatively, there could be a "5" series - GeForce RTX 3065 Ti, GeForce RTX 3075, GeForce RTX 3085 and GeForce RTX 3095 - or a "SUPER" series with an identical purpose. nVidia could also decide on completely different names or even different technical data.
