> Is that done at the driver level?

No, the FP64 units aren't physically present on silicon in high numbers on the non xx100 dies.

However, limitations enforced just by the driver and its FW set:

- GPU virtualisation (see: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock)

- NVENC video encoder limitations to 2 simultaneous streams on customer cards

- Lite Hash Rate limitation enforcement to make GPUs less attractive for miners
