NVIDIA 170HX Crypto Mining Processor Card with 164 MH/s Hash Rate Spotted

NVIDIA 170HX Crypto Mining Processor Card with 164 MH/s Hash Rate Spotted

Early this year, NVIDIA announced Turing based Crypto Mining Processor (CMP) cards that ranged in speed from 26MH/s to an astonishing 85MH/s.

They were built on Turing/Ampere silicon and had cooling methods that were devised by board-partners to meet their requirements. The NVIDIA 170HX, which will be passively cooled and built on the NVIDIA A100 accelerator with a GA100 graphics processor, appears to be the company's new flagship model for the foreseeable future.

This new mining card has 4480 CUDA cores and 8 GB of HBM2E RAM, which is a major reduction from the previous GA100-based mining cards' capabilities. For the goal of preventing the card from being used for anything other than cryptocurrency mining, NVIDIA has intentionally limited the card's PCIe interface to Gen 1 x4 speeds. The 170HX's BIOS does not allow for RAM overclocking, resulting in a hash rate of only 164 MH/s when utilizing the Etash algorithm, which is significantly lower than the industry standard.

This text has no sense whatsoever...

"major reduction from previous GA100 based mining cards" what previous GA100 based mining cards?!

"resulting in a hash rate of only 164 MH/s when utilizing the Etash algorithm, which is significantly lower than the industry standard." what exactly is an "industry standard hashrate" lol? also saying "only 164 MH/s" when 3080 is pulling max 100 tuned and tweaked...

"that ranged in speed from 26MH/s to an astonishing 85MH/s" if 85 MH/s is astonishing then how the hell double that is "only" (see above)

this site really needs some better editors

Don't think the site needs editors, guru3d is one of if not the highest regarded tech sites on the planet.
I did raise my eyebrows reading this article tho.
Not that it matters cause crypto is mostly frowned upon here and the important numbers were in the pics.
*that being said fellow gurus are very patient with us hobby miners.

Just stop with the mining hardware garbage already. What has mining to do with 3D ? As in 3D guru.
Are you now crypto guru?
the article was simply slid across Hilbert's desk and he posted it. he never gave it a thumbs up or thumbs down... we cannot hide real world facts.

But yeah, I do see your point.
