Didn't Nvidia put in a kill switch to disable crypto mining on their cards?

- gruez 1y agoIf you're talking about the stuff they added that detects crypto mining and then hobbles performance, that's not really a "killwitch", it's just product segmentation. Windows for instance has a totally arbitrary limit that non-server editions can't have more than one RDP session going on the same time. This is a purely artificial constraint, but you can hardly claim that that's a "killswitch".
- blitzar 1y agoIt would be "product segmentation" if they had USA GPUs that were hobbled if they detected they had left the land of the free or someone tried to speak a foreign language to them.
