With the upcoming release of their new graphics card GeForce RTX 3060, Nvidia announced their new line of Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP) product line. This is done so that people don’t use Nvidia GeForce GPUs for cryptocurrency mining and the shortage of GPUs for gamers is addressed.
RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent.
