At the end of the day it wouldn't be fair, but it would certainly help this ridiculous market for gamers.
i dont know how you'd block mining and not block other compute workloads except by heuristics or a ML based approach. Which wouldn't necessarily be great in terms of false negative/false positive. I dont know why you'd go to such effort to piss your customers off
So are you including people running DC into this since they run their cards 24/7/365@100% ?actually its already not fair for the GPU makers when people are loading up their cards 24/7 and breaking them then doling a RMA.
the entire GTX line was not originaly intended for work duty, that was the Nvidia Quadro line that handles that.
But no one will buy a Quadro because the GTX line is a lot cheaper.
Nvidia needs to kill mining on the GTX line and force them to go on the Quadro line, as well as AMD and Firepro.
Get these darn miners off our gaming cards.
Because these cards are NOT intended nor designed to be left running at full load 24/7.
Then because of shortages, it gimps out gamers who may have had a failed card, not from mining but from other stuff, because miners either bought out entire inventory, or killed there cards from constant loads.
This is in turn NOT fair for both gamers and card makers, because again, miners are using the cards to a degree which it was not designed for on a thermal / pcb level.
This is why some manufactors have even stepped up and stated they would not accept a mined card.
How will they know its mined?
Beats me, but i feel gamers will be shafted for this again too, because they will be accused for mining on the card, when they didn't, hence ultimately, miners will end up killing us gamers.
Kill Mining on the RX / GTX line.... move them on the Quadro / Firepro line.
10/10 gamers will agree, dont steal our cards, go steal the production ones, which were designed to be put under load at 100% 24/7.
At the current (relative lack of) profitability of miners, shouldn't card prices have already come back down? That is, if "miner demand" was the sole reason for high card prices...At the end of the day it wouldn't be fair, but it would certainly help this ridiculous market for gamers.
That's like... computers that can't be used for pr0n. Not gonna happen.why not gaming cards that cannot be used for mining?
exactly, there is no silver bullet here. Im sure they could do some heuristic learning algorithms but they'll never have a 100% accuracy rate. And it would take real software development for highly questionable benefits (if not just pure negatives)How is the drivers even supposed to know what application is using it? If you disable a feature for mining, you disable it for gaming too. While most games may avoid certain commands that miners use all the time, that doesn't mean those features are not used in other games. There aren't specific mining features on cards. Mining software just uses the existing commands to mine.
Why in god's name would they want to? The idea of disabling mining so the price of their cards is NOT driven up... are you people on drugs?
They are making a great profit from the demand so why would they for their current customers?
Why can't they just do it all in one factory from start to finish.
How do you manage to run a company in such a way that all your eggs are in one basket like that?
nVidia and AMD are not making any extra money off the high GPU prices.
I imagine manufacturers can disable it on driver level.

You are not going to be able to do this in software, it would have to be a hardware solution, and that is not going to happen in the next generation or two.
