Nvidia’s new line of LHR GeForce cards seem to be doing what it supposed to … limiting the hashrate on Crypto mining. Let’s see if this will reflect on the overall GPU market.
Taken from Videocardz … Expreview took the just re-released GeForce RTX 3060 with a brand new cryptomining hash rate limiter for a spin.
The original RTX 3060 was the first graphics card to be introduced with a cryptomining hash limiter. NVIDIA decided to actively counter the interest from GPU miners by artificially limiting the performance in crypto mining algorithms. This would ensure that miners have no interest in those relatively low-performing graphics cards in Ethereum mining.
The new revision of GA106 GPU launches just 3 months after the original model. This SKU had to be released because NVIDIA mistakenly shared an unlocked driver with developers, which rendered all mining-limiting efforts fruitless. The GA106-302 GPU, on the other hand, carries a new PCI Device ID, which makes it impossible to run with old drivers.
