Nvidia's secret new graphics card costs 4,000 euros
NVIDIA has another new graphics card on offer — but you only sold still and secretly. Neither on the official website nor in the shop is to find the model. Only through third-party providers is the GPU available. Current cost point: just over 4,000 euros. You can not even play with the card. For miners, a look could still be worthwhile how to show first reports.
CMP 170HX: NVIDIA makes a big secret from new mining graphics card
Normally, Nvidia fires to start a new graphics card from all marketing pipes — but for the publication of the latest model, there was not even a press release. The new graphics card is the NVIDIA CMP 170HX — a GPU designed specifically for the impact of cryptocurrencies and their technical data is different from a normal gaming graphics card.
For example, the new mining model sets on expensive HBM2E graphics memory, which offers significantly more memory bandwidth than the gaming models. For relation: The RTX 3090 offers around 1 TB per second, the CMP 170HX, on the other hand, reaches nearly 1.5 TB per second. This performance plan, which is also reflected in a significantly higher hash rates (CMP 170HX: 160 MH / s @ 200 watts vs. RTX 3090: 95 MH / s @ 350 watts), the dealers can be silvery silvered.

More than 4,200 euros are currently called for the graphics card (Source: Vera tech). That may act damn expensive at first, but for miners, however, the investment could actually be worthwhile when they come to electricity and remains stable from Ethereum and Co. the course.

New NVIDIA graphics card is not for PC players
On the other hand, PC players should make a big bow around the graphics card — not only due to the high price. Since the GPU was optimized for mining, you are missing many features that are expected from a normal graphics card. So there is about no video outputs, with which you could connect the graphics card to its monitor.
Technik-expert Linus Sebastian has already taken the graphics card under the magnifying glass — and also tries to mislead them:
Also on a fan has been dispensed with, so that the graphics card can be overheated quickly without separate cooling. And since the model is not listed on NVIDIA website, there are nowhere Windows driver. Instead, the corresponding software package must be downloaded and installed via other websites — and even then the compatibility with many programs can not be guaranteed.
