>NVIDIA announced today that it's halving the hash rate for Etehereum cryptocurrency mining on the new GeForce RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 Ti graphics cards to make them less desirable for miners. I have a question for someone familiar with GPU technicalities. Won't this affect other, non-mining tasks? Crypto mining is based on cryptographic hashing algorithms. So won't this affect people in security? That work with hashing algorthims? I suspect tools like hashcat[0] may be affected.
