> No, I think this is the first time a GPU has been heuristically trying to detect what you're doing and self-limiting in response
nah, remember when NVIDIA decided that Titans were now prosumer cards and would get Quadro series drivers, and then performance tripled in CAD applications once the limiters were removed?
The distinction between a Quadro and a GeForce has literally always been drivers and firmware. NVIDIA would have the card look at the specific API calls being made and if it decided you were a CAD application then it'd slow itself down on GeForce cards, while running normally on Quadro.
AMD does the same thing with Radeon Pro, and Frontier Edition cards, and so on.
You literally don't understand that this has been the norm for a decade now. Miners are just crying because they're finally being asked to purchase a business segmented product for their business venture.
