This doesn't seem that far fetched. Especially since miners don't need to produce full-featured drivers.

- TomVDB 6y agoWhen GPUs are know to use signed firmware, when open source coders need to ask for signed firmware to make even a minimal feature open source GPU driver work, and when there’s no evidence at all that high performance custom made mining-only drivers exist, then that seems very far fetched to me.
- the-enterprise 6y agoNot so much a new driver, but here is an example of drivers being patched for mining. https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch
- TomVDB 6y agoIndeed. Not a new driver at all. What this tells me is that they just didn’t care enough to lock this down hard.
