What if... AMD and Nvidia released a driver update for cards that broke their mining...

[Szymon Wieczorek]

What if... AMD and Nvidia released a driver update for cards that broke their mining capabilities and were "rendered" useless in the mining world?

 

[Oliver Laasner]

Or something that block mining software

 

[James Nunn]

Amazing

 

[Qadir Sia]

Would make people happy

 

[Anthony Evans]

Most then could do is change the algrarithium so it doesn't work as well on hashing.

 

[Oliver Laasner]

But mining is not the only reason for the actual GPU prices

 

[Hector Ramirez]

You think with all the money they’re making they would even take the time to think about doing this?

 

[Topias Olavi Salakka]

It would render them useless for everything else than gaming then.

 

[David Ferguson]

Lmao. They wouldnt do that.

Also, thats bullshit, you cant regulate what is done with a product after its sold.

Yes, I mine with my gaming rig. My 1080ti brings in $25 a day. Thats nothing to laugh at.

 

[Dmitriy Glotenko]

And release a special series for mining, like Quadro or Firepro? Would be wounderful. I hope that this shit will crack soon, and prices are would drop again.

 

[Tony Grandoff]

Why update to it?

 

[Ian Sullivan]

why?? it wouldn't make gpu prices drop. its notba mining issue this time

 

[Ben Govett]

why yall hate the miners so much

 

[Troy Lewandowski]

Why would they shoot themselves in the foot like that? I'm sure they love miners

 

[Kyol Hodgson]

Ebay and Barclaycard would become my only websites all of a sudden.

 

[Brad Wilson]

I'm sure they want to just limit their profit margins.

 

[Ashley Siddons]

why would they do that ? are you mad ? man nvidia and amd are selling cards hand over fist to miners sometimes 5/6/7 at a time @ 800/900 quid .... why would they wanna stop that lmao they dont give a flying shit who is buying there cards long as they get there share of the profits they cudnt give a toss if ur a gamer a miner or just fancy an expensive paper weight . unfortunately as much as they make us think they care about us the gamer ...they dont ...all we all are are sales figures to them

 

[Nick McCann]

Why would they do that? Mining has brought profits they've only dreamed about. Mining won't stop everyone quit bitching about it.

 

[Charles McClure]

Bwahahaha ever hopeful aren't we? Yeah a company would never alienate a large chunk of their customers just because a few people can't afford their products.

A graphics card company wants to sell out and they are so they're happy

 

[Anthony Dorsa]

And turn their backs on the biggest source of demand for their products? Yeah right.
