Rowhammer is a method of attempting to corrupt memory by repeatedly “hammering” rows of memory cells with a burst of read or write operations. The repeat operations can create electrical interference between rows of memory cells, potentially disrupting operations.

So Nvidia cheaps out on DRAM? That’s the problem? What’s the “mitigation” they’re suggesting? Buy a new GPU?
