Why not just make a massively parallel ASIC and make the price competitive to the RTX 3060? This would be better than crippling the product via software driver

- terramex 6y agoThe big draw of gaming cards is their resale value, when they become obsolete for mining they can be resold to gamers for significant fraction of their original price. Truly huge mining operations use ASICs anyway, but for medium sized farms gaming GPUs make more sense.
- throwaway2a02 6y agoMy understanding is that the ETH and other algorithms designed to be run on GPUs have big memory and memory bandwidth requirements, which is what makes it more difficult (or less cost effective?) to implement on an ASIC. LE. I see you meant NVidia should be making the ASICs. In that case, that's exactly what they're doing, isn't it? This CMP line is exactly that.
