I’d like to replace 1080Ti with 3080, but miners priced me out.
I wonder how exactly nVidia is doing that? I do little integer ops on my GPUs, but I do a lot of FP64 ones. Just like these integer Ethereum hashes, FP64 is not used by videogames much.
If nVidia does that performance throttling by detecting some patterns in the code, looking for Ethereum miners, AV-style — pretty sure Ethereum miners will find a workaround soon. These AV-style code detectors are unreliable by design.
If nVidia does that by crippling specific low-level instructions, this gonna slow down innovation rate for everyone. Not just for me with my niche FP64 CAD/CAE workloads, for games too.
