Don't worry about retail consumers Nvidia, just keep doing everything that overshadows production of GPUs. If by some chance any start up like Si-Five or similar shows the ambitious nature Nvidia had over 2 decades ago, I'd drop Them, Intel & AMD like a bad habit.

You simply cannot properly remove crypto-mining capabilities from GPUs w/o removing GPGPU capabilities. Nvidia should stop trying to do so already, and just keep it to things like limiting sales per customer to 1 or 2.

Other than their founder's edition cards, they have no control on sales limits. The AIB's may have some control, but ultimately, it is up to the retailer.

business limiting sell? highly unlikely. they prefer someone can consume their stocks at once.

if its goverment it might, but if we asked business to do this, you will get "what do you think of us? charity?"

probably SOC is one of solutions.

Retailers often put limits on things. Microcenter I know does, on CPU and GPU purchases, even when stock is good. I have seen newegg do it, as well.

yes retailer might have a bit moral when selling stock. what im talking is the manufacturer or distributor it self.

doing so will not going to stop miner either.

You can't just limit 1 per customer. That's won't stop miners. They will just give their friends and families the money to go get them. They will figure out a way. There's a solution, but it requires Nvidia caring about their customers at the expense of negligible profit, so forget that noise

There literally cannot be a solution w/o killing their GPUs capabilities. Crypto algorithms are made to be used on consumer hardware, there is literally nothing Nvidia can do w/o killing GPGPU capabilities which would be a ridiculous thing to do.

China Supreme Court Sides With Mining Operator in Battle Over 485,000 GPUs

485 thousand GPU's at this one mining operation. You think these guys are sending their friends and family to Best Buy to wait in line for cards? The really large mining operations are buying pallets of cards directly from NVidia (Bitcoin mining company boasts $30 million spend on Nvidia CMP GPUs) and AMD or AIB's or maybe a distributor. The cards they buy never make it to a retailer. The GPU shortage is coming from mining operations buying 100's of thousands of cards, not from bots snatching up a couple dozen cards from Amazon.

To me it is a bit of everything. People suggest limiting the amount of consumer can buy but miner will always have a way to bypass that. Do such limit on retail and they can just hire people to do the buying for them. And such a case really did happen. For big mining firm they can simply bypass all that and directly doing deal with nvidia/amd or AIBs which is the biggest problem.

What ever they do to stop mining they never have success. Even with the new lock LHR they have hacked with the tool removelhr. Now i waiting to see the next lock.....
