I don't disagree that larger mining farms will find ways around the hash limiter that NVIDIA is implementing. However, they are running those farms as a business, and profit vs risk must be calculated.I believe the changes to Ethereum itself are going to have an impact.Regarding the NVIDIA CMP mining cards: Aside from the range topping 90HX variant, the other CMP cards look like they will be built with Turing chips, not Ampere. Also, as mining profitability is largely based on power consumption, I believe the Ampere based 90HX is likely to be using chips that don't make the grade for gaming cards. They will likely run at lower clock speeds, but also use much less power. This gives NVIDIA a way to use the very lowest binned chips.I guess time will tell, but I'm hoping we don't have to wait till next year to see improvements in availability.
