Now 3060 is at $900-$1100 entry level card only
I did not watch the video, but in my mind when Nvidia said they are going to gimp "gamer's card" from mining, and separately create a mining line of cards, I already know they are up to no good. How Nvidia behaves, we have observed for a long time. They won't come up with something, if it does not benefit them. I feel the mining line is created because it is very profitable, and they don't want their AIBs to be selling to miners and making all the money for themselves (Nvidia don't get any).
In addition, selling these mining specific cards means miners cannot resell them later. Recall when mining went bust few years back, they struggled big time because they overproduced and also had to compete with cards in the resale market which miners dumped. Since these mining specific cards lack display outputs, they cannot easily be sold.
With this kind of marked up pricing and crazy demand, no wonder intel smells a market opportunity and want to launch their GPU.
You can tell the nVidia fanboys this, shout it out loud to them, but they won't listen as, to them, nVidia is doing right by them. Even in overseas forums, I get replies amount to, 'nVidia has done this before, nothing new, nothing to see'.tldw: if a factory can only produce x amount of cards per month, allocating an amount for mining cards from x is just going to make things worse, regardless of gpu bios/software nerf. Those mining cards will then create more e-waste once they've fulfilled their use, or the crypto craze dies, because it will not go to gamers(obviously due to lack of ports), so demand in the 2nd hand market is probably non-existent for the miner cards.
