Nvidia releases driver for RTX graphics cards 3060 no protection from ETH miners – Bits Media

Nvidia выпустила драйвер для видеокарт RTX 3060 без защиты от майнеров ETH - Bits Media

GPU maker Nvidia has released a driver for developers without limiting the hashrate of RTX graphics cards 3060 for Ethereum miners. The company previously stated, that it is impossible to bypass the protection.

Nvidia reported last month, what will limit the hashrate of these video accelerators to fight With a shortage of video cards Nvidia RTX 3060, Beded by miners literally "from the factory". The company approved, that RTX drivers 3060 will determine the load on the video cards, specific for the Ethereum mining algorithm. If such a load is detected, the hashrate will be a software way to approximately 50%. Heshee calculation speed for the GeForce RTX chip 3060 It is about 40-46 MH/S, but due to the restrictions introduced, its performance should automatically decrease to approximately 21 MH/S.

However, the GURU3D forum user
wrote, that the new version of the "experimental" NVIDIA driver at number 470.05 allows you to extract ETH with a normal speed - 46 mh/s. The video card can "accelerate" before 50 MH/S. A few days ago, the Chinese user Twitter under the pseudonym I_leak_vn said, that I purchased eight of these Nvidia video cards, And they all allow you to minute ether with a stable hash. 45 MH/S using the Dagger Hashimoto algorithm. It is still not known, How does the protection mechanism work.

According to the recent forecast of video cards suppliers, The demand of miners for video accelerators will remain high at least until the second half of this year. Given this “incident” with the release of GeForce RTX 3060, These video cards will be considered a scarce product for a long time.
