Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices outlined that it’s not
thinking to restrict its graphics cards from
being getting employed for mining cryptocurrencies after rival Nvidia installed a limiter on
a number of its new manufacturing chips
to stop their use in mining Ethereum [
ETH, -0.76%],
consistent with a
report in PC Gamer.
"In-Short the answer
is No," PC Gamer quoted a product manager at AMD as saying regarding
a possible mining limiter within a call.
That stance is in contrast to Nvidia which earlier month
installed a limiter
to make sure its GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards “end up
within the hands of gamers”
rather than cryptocurrency miners after gamers complained how mining demand was causing shortages.
Of course, AMD
might not have had much of a choice in not trying to limit how its chips are used. Not solely is Nvidia's 24GB GeForce RTX 3090
the simplest GPU chip for mining, as AMD's drivers are all open-source, it limits the firm's management over them, PC Gamer added.
