Nvidia’s Exclusive Crypto-Focused Card
Made for Miners
NVIDIA’s fastest CMP 170HX mining card has been released and is now ready for global shipping. These models come directly from Nvidia factory and feature a cut-down GA100 die with 4480 CUDA cores complemented by 8 GB of HBM2e VRAM. The CMP line is very energy efficient versus its gaming counterparts. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. CMP 170HX is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface.
Little Package, Big Bite
The CMP 170HX is a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on September 1st, 2021. Built on the 7 nm process, and based on the GA100 graphics processor, in its GA100-100-A1 variant, the card does not support DirectX. The GA100 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 826 mm² and 54,200 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked A100 PCIe, which uses the same GPU but has all 6912 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the CMP 170HX to reach the product’s target shader count. It features 4480 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 128 ROPs. Also included are 280 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB HBM2e memory with the CMP 170HX, which are connected using a 4096-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1140 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1410 MHz, memory is running at 1458 MHz.
The VBIOS is LOCKED, and cannot be tweaked by programs such as MSI Afterburner.
