NVIDIA Crypto Mining Processor 30HX Card Pictured
The first NVIDIA CMP (Crypto Mining Processor) 30HX card from Gigabyte has been pictured and it closely resembles that of Gigabyte's GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G. This resemblance makes sense considering the 30HX uses the same TU116-100 GPU found in the GTX 1660 SUPER and is paired with the same 6 GB of GDDR6 memory. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX features a TDP of 125 W and achieves a hash rate of 26 MH/s in Ethereum mining similar to that of the RTX 3060 with it's anti-mining algorithm. The card features no display outputs which limits the cards capabilities once it's no longer profitable to operate. The card should run cool with the dual-fan cooling solution and improved airflow due to the lack of outputs.

By introducing the hash-rate limiter most of these potential buyers will not be able to/want to, afford to buy a new top tier card anymore .
They definitely wont buy an outdated mining only card [@26 mh] that can not be resold down the line. The big mining companies would be the only ones buying them.
While this may help alleviate the currant shortage it will impact future sales of top tier skus going forward.
My money will be staying in my wallet until there is a good (at least 1.5x-2x an RX480 8GB) card on the shelf for $350 cnd. If it takes 5 more years so be it.
No miner with single brain cell will buy those because there is 0 resell value.
Also note, that everything except 90HX is based on older Turing, not Ampere.
retailers are selling 1660 for 450usd afterall, these HX30 would be a steal :).
Yes, it takes brain cells.
