It is the same with hardware video encode, RTX cards are locked up to 2x streams at maximum while they are in most cases capable of many, many more (i.e. Plex transcodes). Not that this is an issue though, since it's a driver lock with a working fix.
- jki275 6y agoI suspect there will be a bios fix for this lock about a day after they're released. Unless they put this in hardware somehow, it's not going to be effective. And, they mention the ETH algorithm specifically is what they detect -- there are a bunch of other algorithms that aren't ETH that are profitable to mine.
- notum 6y agoChrist I had no idea. I beg to differ, it's a HUGE issue.
- my123 6y agoSame thing for ECC being disabled on customer GPUs. And ECC disabled on customer Intel CPUs and AMD Ryzen APUs. (AMD is quite sneaky there, non-Pro CPUs have ECC but non-Pro APUs don’t). Market segmentation is a usual thing on the computer market.
