Is the information that NVIDIA's mining performance limiter has been avoided a false alarm using a virtual currency that is not subject to the limiter?



The 'GeForce RTX 30' series, including

the GPU 'GeForce RTX 3060 ' released by NVIDIA in late February 2021, detects the mining of crypto assets (virtual currency) and Ethereum and sets the hash rate (mining speed). It is equipped with a limiter that limits and reduces mining efficiency by up to 50%.

There is information that it seems that a method to avoid this limiter has been found, but on the other hand, it is pointed out that the limiter itself is not removed, only the results other than the mining of Ethereum, which is the target of the limiter, have been obtained. It has come out.

Chinese Cryptocurrency Miners Allegedly Bypass NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060 Hash Rate Limiter, Delivers Up To 50 MH / s

IT news site Wccftech has reported that a Chinese cryptocurrency miner has evaded the GeForce RTX 3060 hash rate limiter and is now able to mine at 50 MH / s.

The source of the information was the following tweet by Twitter ID '@I_Leak_VN'. It is a screenshot showing that the hash rate of 45MH / s or more is output using 'RTX 3060'. In this case, 8 RTX 3060s are used, so the total hash rate is 362.75MH / s.



Vietnam's Facebook group 'Trại Trâu Công Nghệ', which handles cryptocurrency information, has also posted information that it is possible to avoid limiters and achieve a hash rate of 50 MH / s by using a MOD driver.

However, it has been pointed out that the screenshot information is inaccurate in this matter. According to the point, it is natural that the hash rate is high because it is not the target Ethereum of the limiter but the non-target virtual currency 'Conflux' that is mined in the screenshot. The hash rate in the case of Ethereum is still suppressed to 25 MH / s.

Regarding GPU, there is a battle between virtual currency miners and gamers, and while NVIDIA applied a hash rate limiter to the 'GeForce RTX 30' series for gamers, 'CMP' for mining applications HX 'series is available.

The 'CMP HX' series includes the '30HX' with a hash rate of 26MH / s and the '40HX' with a hash rate of 36MH / s in the first quarter of 2021, and the '50HX' and 86MH / s with a hash rate of 45MH / s in the second quarter. '90HX' will be released.
