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.

They must be using the worst but still barely, if partially, working GA100 chips for this.

Just what we need, more e-waste.

I'd like to see that bandwidth with 16bg on desktop GPUs that would be epic.
I fail to see hat makes these appealing they're most likely going to be more expensive than a desktop gpu and once they're no longer efficient for mining they're garbage whereas a gpu can still be used for literally anything.

Just stop with the mining hardware garbage already. What has mining to do with 3D ? As in 3D guru.
Are you now crypto guru?

Why not make it PCiE 3 or even 4 x1 ? So it uses way less lanes anyways. This card seems to be pretty bad tho, if they make a specific workload GPU, why don't they just maximize the high end card?
