It's simple... and everybody called it... Money! With money as the end goal people will hack that faster than you can say the word hack... And they did.
A PR exercise in how to look pretty stupid? - AMD were asked this same question and the answer was honest.... Any attempt to artificially lock will result in exactly what we see here... They knew it so openly said they would not attempt to software lock the cards. NV went the other way, now have egg on their face what a week later?
Nobody cares they failed, it looks like they tried to most people. Most people are not like you.
Lol. The diehard fanboys won't blame anything on Nvidia. Has been proven time and again.
Now lets see 3060 prices go even higher. Gamers may as well wait for next gen.
well it wont matter soon as apparently there is new changes very shortly which will make mining on gpus pointless.

imagine buying loads of cards in last few weeks to mine and seeing that.

Ethereum will become less profitable but there are a ton of other coins that can be mined. The serious miners will probably still keep going as long as they can make some profit.
What are you on about.
They made a claim to protect "gaming" card supply (although there's more negative angles available on that) and five minutes later Vietnamese hackers get past it.
It's incompetence and all their claims are now garbage (if the hack claim is true).
Yes, can't help but thing that this is just a PR exercise which AMD once again failed at. Honest answers weren't going to win the PR campaign.
This is why PR does what PR does: cynically putting a positive spin on things.
The have almost Apple cult-like devotion and this goes back years. Still remember back then the had all the defects due to poor solder choices (bumpgate). I was under the impression that a lot of the defenders seems to think having a 8400M or 8800GT dying after a few years is normal and surely real PC enthusiasts would have upgraded ages ago as if graphic cards were something you rent.
Except nobody believed them in the first place. Even ****ing Linus made a video just a couple of weeks back calling it a meaningless PR stunt that wouldn't help gamers at all. Nvidia's fanboys didn't care then and they won't care now. This doesn't hurt Nvidia in any way.
They were going to and still will sell any card they make.
However it's unnecessary embarrassment to make a security claim and then have it destroyed. It
thats wishful thinking. 3060 is cheap in the realm of crypto mining, you get the ROI in less than 100days! even if Eth is unprofitable, there are plenty others. as long as the crypto market is bullish (gauged by BTC), the mining craze wont end. peopel with 2/3 GPUs may start to offload cards at that point but the professionals will be gobbling them up.well it wont matter soon as apparently there is new changes very shortly which will make mining on gpus pointless.

lol dream on, they'll just mine any of the other profitable coins instead. Nothing will change until the end of the bull market, and even then many continue to mine to accumulate for the next cycle.
you would be a fool not to earn money while your sleeping or 'not gaming' heck i can still hash at 60 playin valorant so even if I'm losing I'm winning.
