Nvidia is also pushing back against doubts that the RTX 3060’s upcoming anti-cryptocurrency mining restrictions can be easily reversed.

And we are not limiting the performance of GPUs already sold,” a company spokesperson told PCMag. That’s bad news for PC gamers still trying to snag an RTX 3060 Ti,3070 or 3080, which continue to sell out in minutes — even six months after the initial release. Not only are PC gamers trying to buy the in-demand products, but also cryptocurrency miners in need of powerful GPUs.
