I have no way to verify this but if you go out and buy an RTX 3060 based on this news/rumor then that is on you.

Was only a matter of time someone worked around it, but who woulda thought NV would do it to themselves? or someone on the driver team is being cheeky?

Should focus on getting more cards built than limiting the ones they have; i dont get why they limit them anyways. Isnt performance supposed to be their selling point

We've been discussing it in that thread from the initial launch. Seems like there are various limitations such as it has to be in a physical slot and not on a riser, the bandwidth has to be at least x8, and it has to have a monitor or dummy plug inserted.

But it'll get the 3060 up to around 50MH/s give or take.

I swear I've seen this before in another thread.
