NVIDIA Hash-Rate Limited GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics Cards Being Shipped To e-Cafes in China Instead of Gamers New reports coming in from Asian tech outlets reveal that NVIDIA is supplying its latest GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards to e-Cafes on a priority basis instead of gamers which they are designed for in the first place.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate Graphics Cards Being Supplied To e-Cafes Instead of Gamers in China
We know that the first outing of the hash rate limiter failed spectacularly and NVIDIA decided to re-launch its entire GeForce RTX 30 series lineup with brand new GPU SKUs to tackle the cryptomining craze. The first graphics card to launch under this new lineup is the GeForce RTX 3060 but it looks like gamers would once again find it difficult to get the graphics card off retail shelves as e-cafes in China have bought large quantities of the GPUs, making the overall stock run dry once again.
It is reported by
ITHome &
MyDrivers that the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card featuring the GA106-302 GPU (previously GA106-300), will be shipping next week but there's bad news for gamers in all this. Following are all the new NVIDIA Ampere GA**2 SKUs that you can expect:
The report states that NVIDIA and its AIB partners have received a large number of orders from Internet Cafes (e-Cafes) in the Asian-Pacific region and it looks like they will be getting priority over gamers from May till June. NVIDIA themselves is stated to have recommended its AIC partners to prioritize GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card supply to internet cafes and will provide its partners with strategic support.
We have previously seen gaming and internet cafes being
converted to cryptocurrency mining farms with several NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards installed. NVIDIA will have the new mining hash rate limiter on the RTX 3060 graphics card but if miners are able to bypass it once again, then there's no stopping the same cafes from taking advantage of the situation and once again use the cards for mining purposes considering it lets them earn bigger profits.

just what i said would happen miners will still buy the cards with the gimp in it because it has higher resale later on - and warranty
and it is quite possible to un-gimp it later on
its no worse off than what the cmp 30HX and cmp 40HX have to offer
this was an utter failure of Nvidia
just make the standard cards - but just make more of them
if you really want to make mining cards then you really should make cards that have 2x or 3x or 4x better results than the video cards
like i said Nvidia has to start making mining specific chips to complement the portfolio
