Nvidia recently announced the release of a new version of the GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, which has received multiple levels of hardware protection against mining, as well as updated driver-level protection. Accelerator deliveries were supposed to begin in the near future, but today it became known that the first batch of protected models was sold out at the factory.
Chinese portal MyDrivers reports that shipments of updated GPUs with mining protection to the global market are being postponed from next week to June. According to the information from the source, the first batch of RTX 3060 video cards was completely sold out by computer clubs in China, and Nvidia personally monitored the arrival of new products to the warehouses of institutions.
First of all, we are talking about the supply of video cards of the GeForce RTX 3060 series, which received a new revision of hardware protection against Ethereum mining. And yet, filling stores with other devices from the current model range of the company in the near future is also not guaranteed.
It is possible that Nvidia will time the active delivery of graphics accelerators to the release of the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti models, which should officially roll off the assembly line on May 31.
