hey guys i'm a gamer
but i'm also a miner
[Music], Miner uppercuuuttt
guys this is a little bit too loud i'm
gonna try and get some sleep in my bed
yeah that's good that's good
legit windows 10 pro key license and
today's video sponsor scd keys has you
covered for as little as 14
when you use that coupon code bftyc you
can get windows activated right now
links in description below
well we got the reports in and i've
actually tested the drive already
that the rtx 3060 algorithm nerf
has been circumvented and it's from nvidia themselves
via the form of a windows insider beta
driver now i got this driver
through the web and regardless of
whether nvidia's taken the driver down
or not it's
out there on the web you ain't getting
rid of that driver anymore so
this driver basically it's the 4070.05
you download this and if you've got a
rtx 3060
in your top pcie slot which is usually
called pci 0
and you have a monitor cable connected
to the card you then get
the mining limiter unlocked for ethereum
which is the in this case i was testing
the mining it's the
dagger hashimoto uh miner
and that essentially gives you the most
profit so this card after a bit of
tuning it will now be quite profitable
just like all the other rtx 3000 cards
before it however after doing some more
testing with this i did notice if you
change the card into a
say different pcie slot and even if you
connect a monitor to it
it then does drop the hashing rate down
on that 3060 not the other cards in the
rig
so basically what this means is if you
have your rtx 3060 in the top slot
monitor connected and then you fill out
all the other slots on the motherboard
with graphics cards you can still have
an rtx 3060 in your mining bench
and now here's the thing that sucks
about this is that the crypto miners
will now buy up 30 60s and just put them
on their top slots in their mining rigs
so it's done nothing in terms of helping
out the average gamer
and in fact this new update and
apparently it's not coming out now it's
taken down doesn't matter
i'm guessing nvidia wanted to help out
the average gamer whatever that is
uh because right now the the whole 30 60
just like
every other 3000 series card is now sold
out and in fact i've got proof right
here
yesterday it was there for 760 aussie
dollars
today sold out so there it is
congratulations nvidia
if you wanted to sell these cards out to
miners you did a fantastic job of doing
that
but i don't know about this argument of
okay
but what about the gamer that wants to
leave his graphics card on overnight
and sleep and make money and then get
back to gaming the next day
well here's a news flash they can go buy
an rtx 3070
but guess what the rtx 3070 is now
double the price
there if that's if you want to mine
while you sleep go pay the premium
that's how the markets work right now
and it's a crony capitalist structure
that's now going into the land of gaming
graphics cards
congratulations nvidia congratulations
people who make these anti-asic
resistant cryptocurrency nodes fantastic
job
and now we're seeing the market decide
on the pricing of the rtx 3060
which lo and behold is now sold out at
decent prices
well geniuses out there nvidia if you
guys listened to the actual market
you would have realized that this was
working your plans of nerfing the
cryptocurrency hashing rates at least in
australia this was working
people could buy these cards at not so
ridiculously high prices and now i'm
going to get back to me
i'm a complete idiot because i reported
on this story
and i said hey nvidia i think what
you're doing here
was a good thing and i said that
publicly on my channel and then i was
met with a heap of different people
saying brian you're a fool for trusting
nvidia but the actual methodology behind
this was starting to work we saw this at
least in australia here i don't know
about other countries
but at least where i'm here people
weren't buying these 30 60s up
like they were buying up the 30 70s and
30 60 ti's
to my cryptocurrency on and even the
3080s so this was starting to work
this method was a good method and that's
what i was putting my weight behind when
i made that original video
and so literally a few weeks later
something that seems to be working
now has the solution hacked by the
people who made the solution themselves
nvidia and for what it's worth i didn't
believe many of the people in the
comments
when they said this was going to be
hacked or is going to be cracked and
they employ these magical fairies over
in china that can crack the nvidia
technology
they don't need to do any of that they
just need to rely on nvidia
to release the solution themselves and i
asked nvidia for comment on this and i
got back and they officially said that
it was an
accident the driver was released
accidentally with the hash rate limiter
removed but going forward i'm going to
simply make one thing and that is
i'm going to be just like the skeptics
now and when i report on news like this
i'm not going to say it's a good thing
i'm just going to simply say here's the
news
let's wait and see until a few months
after it's been released
if we can trust these guys and all the
skeptics were saying it doesn't matter
if the skeptics were right or wrong
the skeptics were saying the bottom line
is we can't trust this
and those guys were right they can't
trust this tech that you guys
implemented over at nvidia
because it's already been busted by you
guys yourselves
but single-handedly the worst thing
about this driver update
is that it now actually favors the
cryptocurrency minus
rather than the gamer who wants to sleep
in their free time and make some money
this favors them the miners because
you've now got a limited driver that's
out there
that will unlock the rates and the new
drivers coming out i'm presuming
they will have that cryptocurrency lock
installed so basically the gamer that
wants to sleep and make money with their
3060
they're gonna have to back date their
driver to a beta driver
and then if they want to play the latest
games with the best fps or
play the latest games period they're
gonna have to then
get that latest driver then back date if
they want to mine in their sleep
way to go nvidia way to go now we're
gonna close out this video and say
look there's a few people saying oh
brian you're empty crypto you're
anti-crypto
i'm not anti-crypto in the sense that if
you've got money and you want to make
return on your investment of course
you're going to go out and buy a
graphics card and put it in a system and
click play and get free money
i'm not against that that's the market
that's what markets do
i'm against the people that make these
cryptocurrency algorithms anti-asic
and we can go down this argument and
argue back and forth all day long
the bottom line is you've got a more
efficient piece of tech that's
introduced
and is being blocked and before people
say oh what creates e-waste
a graphics card will create e-waste as
well just an asic will do a more
efficient job
and therefore make less waste if we're
looking at the grand scheme of things
and that's presuming that cryptocurrency
is forever
like some of the cryptocurrency bulls
say it is so the bottom line is i'm not
against the average person who's got the
free market mentality no
you're playing by the rules fine it's
the people who make the game
that are making such a game that's
corrupt so from the survey i did 82
percent of people
did not mine cryptocurrency then there
was people who mined with their singular
card
then there was about five percent of
people who had dedicated crypto rigs
which is a big number considering
there's also commercials
and all those numbers will make up more
greater
supply of graphics cards than that 82
percent
this is even on my channel where i take
more of a stance
towards anti-gpu mining but of course
the people out there who wanted to make
me on anti-asic resistant
we could just go a step further and say
imagine a world where they made the
cryptocurrency's anti-gpu compute
then you would just have cpus imagine
what would happen to cpu prices
all over again so you can start to see
here that there's just a simple chain
that you're using less efficient
technology to mine these
cryptocurrencies it just happens to be
that there's that fallback there
and that is of course if the
cryptocurrency crashes or it goes out
then there's always the fallback to sell
your
hardware to and that of course is the
gamer and the last thing i'll say is
this
being a guy that grew up with gaming
especially pc gaming
i love this industry i love pc gaming
and even then i think some of the tech
that nvidia's introduced dlss 2.0 and
stuff like that
it's really good tech you guys do a good
job of making stuff for gamers
so why not keep focusing on gamers the
solutions to this problem are simple
i thought what you did with the 3060
before this driver mishap
was actually a good thing and a lot of
people probably did think it's a good
thing
judging by that like to dislike ratio
even though some people didn't like that
original video
i think a lot of people did like what
you were doing with the 30 60 limiter
the second piece of advice i'll give you
guys over in video
is please get your pr in line if you
guys are testing a driver out
that has this unlocked hash rate limiter
inform the public
get their opinion on it say hey guys
we're working on a driver
where the intent is to have the single
gamer that wants to make a bit of money
in their sleep
be able to benefit from that and not the
commercial miners or even people with
multiple gpus
and then the third thing is and i think
the most important thing is try not to
let it be an accident
or let it leak to the public though in
the meantime the skeptics were proven
right
and i'm sitting here now looking like
an idiot so cheers nvidia for that one
anyhow guys if you enjoyed today's video
then be sure to hit that like button and
before you get on out of here do let us
know in the comment section below what
do you think about
all the points that we discussed here in
today's video do you think that this was
a good thing that a video initially did
or do you think that was a bad thing or
of course i think everyone generally
agrees
that this mishap here on nvidia's behalf
is just
one of the stupidest things i've seen in
a long time anyhow we got the question
of the day here which comes from dmanpc1
and he asks have these sold already
can't find them on gumtree or
marketplace so they're talking about
yesterday's video
where we did the 100 flip up challenge
and i haven't listed
one of the pcs because that's already
pre-sold like i already got a message
about that before i could even list it
someone wants to buy that so that's
already gone i will be listing the gtx
1080 pc
soon there's a 6700 xt review i've got
to get through as well
so stay tuned for that that'll be
dropping in your sub boxes a little bit
later
actually under 12 hours so stay tuned
for that one and i'll catch you guys in
another tech video very soon if you've
stayed this far and you're enjoying
that tech yes content then be sure to
hit that sub and ring
that bell and i'll catch you in another
one very soon peace out for now
[Music]
bye
