Aaaaand...the unhackable (according to nVidia) cryptomining limiter on the RTX 3060 has been hacked, apparently even without installing a hacked BIOS (according to nVidia the limiter is an handshake chain between driver, BIOS, and 3060 chip), just a particular version of the drivers and then launch the workaround.

Er, no. If it was posted on the internet and someone already downloaded it, it'll be available to install forever, afterall, it's not like crypto miners need to constantly update their drivers for new game support - no squeezing the toothpaste back into the tube here.

Another graphics card launch today, the AMD RX 6700 XT which will be sold out 1 min after it goes on sale at 1PM this afternoon.
Reviews haven't been particularly glowing, suggesting that the price performance isn't a forward step (and that's before you add on the current price hikes), but given it'll be another paper launch you won't be buying one anyway.
Both the AMD reference and third party cards will be "available" today; they're supposed to start at $479 (could not see any official UK price, but based on other cards, it should be around £450).
