Interesting article basically NIVIDIA asking retailers to stop selling cards to miners

I cannot see how they could do this, nothing to stop a miner from going in buying a single card and then going back and buying another.

What are they going to do, go round your house and make sure you're putting the card in a gaming PC and not a mining rig?

Also a gamer is not going to buy a lesser gaming card because their gameplay might suck.

On the other hand, a miner will do the sums and they know that they can still turn a profit with a lesser card. Also a miner will look after the card a lot better, sure they'll be overclocked but won't be under the same stresses trying to load graphics.

Also if a miner does burn out a card it's going to hurt them in the pocket.

Here's a link to the article:

richard you need to look into one of my blogs about looking after your vote power, and also I have a competition going to earn 1.5 sbd for best entry, take a look, I also do some guides for new people.

Not sure how they can stop people buying as many cards as they want online, from eBay, Amazon or even Alibaba, to name a few, best of luck with that idea, it is dead in the water from day 1.
