Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 3060 chips will thwart crypto-mining. The new chips are designed to limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent.

Experts applaud the effort, but are skeptical the move will take the bullseye off the backs of gamers and their computer rigs.
