The objective seems to be to stop miners from buying up consumer GPUs. Nvidia added a separate product line for mining.

The point made is this will stop mass consumers mining, any restriction will likely be quickly bypassed by those technical enough to bypass it.

If both those product lines use the same dies, mining is still taking GPUs away from gamers.

Assuming binning is simply making use of chips that fail display output tests but are otherwise fine, then I see no issue here. These are chips not being used by gamers anyway.

I am curious though whether they could be used as "second cards" for systems so that I can speed up Blender render times...
