Chinese Crypto-miners circumvent RTX 3060 hash limiter


When the GeForce RTX 3060 was unveiled on February 25, Nvidia stated that the mining effectiveness of the graphics card was intentionally being lowered by half in a bid to channel the GPUs to gamers instead of miners. However, evidently, it has been rapidly circumvented by Chinese cryptocurrency miners using altered mods.

Nvidia was convinced in the hash rate limit declaring it would be tough to circumvent safeguards set on the GPUs, contending “End users cannot eliminate the hash regulator from the driver. There is a protected handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that inhibits elimination of the hash rate limiter”.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 can bring around 40-45 MH/s for basic performance but this plummeted to 20-25 MH/s if the GPU discovered mining-related action, provided that the limiter is in place.

Nevertheless, a photo seen by I_Leak_VN reveals a Chinese mod created to help miners unlock the full hash capability of the GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, with the picture demonstrating the Geforce RTX 3060 producing 45 MH/s in Ethereum.

The hash-rate restraint mod has also been independently verified to work by a Vietnamese Facebook group, just as proficient of outputting 50 MH/s.

To be impartial the crypto mining algorithm in question is for Octopus, which is different from cryptocurrency Ethereum, which the hash rate limiter was designed to thwart. Nividia might get around that problem with an updated driver
