Nvidia’s most powerful card for breaking cryptocurrencies costs SEK 40,000

In February 2021, Nvidia launched a series of plug-in cards for breaking cryptocurrencies called CMP. The series consists of the models CMP 30HX, CMP 40HX, CMP 50HX and CMP 90HX, but in Dubai and on Japanese Yahoo, a fifth model has now appeared named CMP 170HX.

Interestingly, the CMP 170HX is based on the GA100 data center circuit and offers significantly lower power outputs per MH / s than previous models. However, the amount of memory takes a hit and goes down to only 8 GB, which can cause problems for breaking certain cryptocurrencies.

According to the retailer Viperatech, the card was launched on the first of September this year, but so far we have not seen any official statements from Nvidia. The retailer states that the card is equipped with 4,480 CUDA cores and 8 GB of HMB2 memory. At the time of writing, the card costs 4,600 dollars, which corresponds to just over 39,000 Swedish kronor excluding VAT.
