put a bios on them that detects mining activity and burns the card. F those guys.
A sale to a gamer is a saleNvidia and AMD should somehow modify their non-workstation RTX cards to be incapable mining. and/or design a card specificaly for mining.
A sale to a gamer is a sale
A sale to a miner is a sale
Same money to them.
Gamers hurt feelings don't matter, because gamers will still buy them anyway.
How would authorities ever enforce something like that? Are the courts going to start issuing warrants to search the peoples' homes for mining farms if they have a higher electricity bill?Simply push politics to introduce laws against cryptomining with harsh penalties. And bounty on cryptominer and spammer heads. Problem solved.
Are these electronic fiat currencies just based on how much electricity you waste and how much you needlessly contribute to climate change? Can't we find something a little more useful to base a new currency on? Besides I built a new x570 pc with a 3950 and used my rx850 in it wanting to wait for next gen gpu. Now I will be waiting a lot longer. Hope bitcoin and the rest crashes hard.
PC gaming is not worth this level of expense and effort.

No doubt someone's gonna figure out how to use consoles for mining.... 😡
I see a lot of people leaving PC gaming for console gaming .. and not coming back. Future generations will also go the console route. This mining crap is helping to kill PC gaming.

Perhaps you can try coming out with a reason why cryptomining should be illegal. So far, I have never seen any violence/deaths etc.... due to cryptomining. On the contrary cryptomining is helping companies and investors make money.... Power companies get rich, GPU companies get rich. Investors happy.
No, this isn't new. Some people get pulled in by the perks of being able to run higher graphics settings and smoother gameplay - among other things - Vs console, only to find that they bit off more than they can chew.I see a lot of people leaving PC gaming for console gaming .. and not coming back. Future generations will also go the console route.
In other words, the rich stay rich, and the poor stay poor - and the middle gets shafted too!Perhaps you can try coming out with a reason why cryptomining should be illegal.

Don't think so. PC gaming is superior in several ways:I see a lot of people leaving PC gaming for console gaming .. and not coming back. Future generations will also go the console route.
