EDIT: nevermind, I didn't realize the 3060 wasn't out yet. In that case, I think this is a good move (if it actually works). Disregard everything below... I hate mining, I love my (old-ish) Nvidia GPU, and what this will do for the availability of cards and reliability of cards on the second-hand market is great. But, FUCK this. Nvidia just removed a feature from a product customers paid for, and then sold it back to them in a new product. This is like if Apple disabled Wifi on old iPhones to force you to buy a new one. It doesn't matter whether the reasoning behind this particular decision is something you agree with, a company should not be allowed to get away with doing something like this. I hope a class action lawsuit comes out of this and Nvidia loses big, because a world where a company can do this by adding sufficient spin to the decision, is terrible for consumers.
