NVIDIA Prohibits Use Of GeForce [gaming] GPUs In Datacenters, Only Blockchain [mining] Processing Allowed
NVIDIA made a pretty big change in its GeForce EULA recently and this is something that could go on to cost a lot of entities an aggregate of millions if not billions of dollars in the long run.
..most of [Nvidia's] lineup isn’t exactly ideal for mining (you would want a Vega for that) so they really aren’t under threat of loosing precious supply to mining..
Basically, Nvidia wants professional users to buy only their Professional GPUs. Previously, many professionals used Nvidia gaming GPUs -- sometimes by the hundreds.
The article has the details for anyone interested. Mostly, this will not affect SimHQ gamers.
