Nvidia is updating its product line, launching a new version of Ampere GPU, and restricting mining. Nvidia’s unreleased GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will have its own mining restrictions.
In addition, Hong Kong media HKEPC reported that Nvidia has discontinued the production of GeForce RTX 3060 with the old GA106-300 GPU chip and replaced it with a new GA106-302 GPU to further restrict mining.
At the same time, Nvidia announced that the first-quarter revenue of its just-released professional mining card CMP series is expected to double its previous expectations.

For the majority of players, this is very good news, which is expected to alleviate the current shortage of graphics cards and high prices. For Nvidia, this move can also restore the trust of some players. The long-term shortage of graphics cards will inevitably lead PC players to switch to the host platform, which Nvidia does not want to see.
