The CMP 170HX is the most efficient NVIDIA graphics card from the cryptocurrency mining family. It has no video outputs, carries an electronically limited interface (PCIe 1 × 4), and a limited GA100 core, which has a 4480 CUDA. This is nothing but a redesigned A100 accelerator that has just hit the market.

The CMP 170HX has also been limited in terms of memory, because instead of 40 and even more 80 GB of VRAM, it has “only” 8 GB of HBM2e memory on a 4096-bit bus. Its graphic core is clocked with a base 1140-MHz clock and the Boost at 1410 MHz. It draws power from a single 8-pin connector, has a TDP of 250W, and takes up two slots in a computer.

This specification is enough for the CMP 170HX without active cooling to offer 164 MH / s performance in the calculation of the EThash algorithm (in Ethereum mining) in complete silence, in its basic form. Those willing can already buy it on Yahoo in Japan, where its price is as much as 600,000 yen, which is almost PLN 21,000.
