I hope to God Nvidia is better prepared for bots and scalpers next generation. I don't care about having it day 1, just let me backorder for MSRP and send it when you have stock ffs.

Yeah If I could order at launch say October next year and my shipment isn't due until March I'd be happy with that.

Yeah, well, Nvidia may get better prepared for their own store, but most cards are sold through other retailers. And most of those don't give a sh!t about that because, in the end, a sale is a sale.

Now, if one or both actually managed to put hardware limitations to mining, making them mostly useless for that, now that would be a game changer.

Is it even possible for them to completely lock out mining without hurting the performance in general of the cards if they designed them with that intention from the start or would they only be able to put the LHR on them again still making them profitable for mining just not stupidly good?

The other problem would be the dedicated miner GPU's fighting for chip quota and if these are bigger profit margins for Nvidia it could just as easy push general gaming GPU's into a shortage situation once again.
