Gigabyte shows the first crypto card in Nvidia's CMP series

Breaking of cryptocurrency is once again in the news thanks to the winter price rush, and the observer has not missed that Nvidia has taken measures to lock out mining on Geforce-labeled graphics cards starting with Geforce RTX 3060. The card has, as promised, been shown to halve the performance when Ethereum algorithms are detected, which is a move by the company to instead control over crypto switches for the new CMP series.

Nvidia CMP, an abbreviation for Crypto Mining Processor, is a series of computing cards without image outputs that are intended to consist of four cards and now Gigabyte is coming out with its first CMP 30HX. The card essentially looks like the company’s base card in the GTX 1660 series with subtracted image outputs and backplate, and this is best explained by the fact that the CMP 30HX is basically based on the GTX 1660.

Videocardz writes in an analysis of the new series’ potential that its success will depend on price and availability. In addition, hopes are expressed that the CMP series means a stop for partner manufacturers to sell directly to players engaged in crypto mining, but sales of the partner cards are still left in the hands of partner manufacturers such as Gigabyte.
