Why only reduce them to half the performance? How about 0%. I predict this will do absolutely nothing for general availability of these cards.

- kevingadd 5y agoDenting the performance that way makes them no longer cost effective for eth, but doesn't make them completely useless for any workloads (in games, or adobe premiere, etc) that happen to look like crypto mining - so they can avoid selling a completely broken card.
- kevincox 5y agoBecause halving the performance makes them unprofitable to run. If you buy one you can still try mining, and if it falsely detects mining your desktop won't crash, but professional miners won't be interested.
- moogly 5y agoConsidering they sell the cards afterwards, I remain unconvinced that they will (to miners appear to) be unprofitable at half the hashing performance. I fear these guys will just want the double amount of cards now :/ So sorry, but I'll believe it when I see it.
