NVIDIA halved the hash rate for Etehereum cryptocurrency mining on the new GeForce RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 Ti graphics cards. The company will add “Lite Hash Rate”” identifiers to retail product listings and boxes for all these new nerfed graphics cards that will start shipping later this month. NVIDIA is also hoping to push professional mining operations towards its new range of CMP dedicated mining GPUs by deliberately reducing the new card’s mining performance by 50%. This announcement comes after NVIDIA also nerfed the Ethereum hash rate on all GeForce RT 3060 cards shipped starting February.”
