So you are saying that TPU should just make a complete how-to tutorial and an intensive research instead ?!
I'm saying that they should correct articles that contain false information. In particular, the "by simply" part of the article is outright false.

Later edit: What's even worse is that the original article from Tom's Hardware, listed as a source, makes it very clear it's not "by simply", because you also need that beta driver. So there is really no excuse for the author to publish this misleading article. The "intensive research" required to publish the correct information was reading more than the title of the quoted source.

48MH/s still seems low to me, or maybe I'm comparing with the 3080 which has a much higher rate.
But cost 2x or 3x the card?

A 3070 hasbaround 60MH/s
