NVIDIA s hash rate limiter for its upcoming GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards, such as the RTX 3060, may have been short-lived as cryptocurrency miners based in China have found a way to by-pass it using a custom mod.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Hash Rate Limiter Bypassed, GeForce RTX 3060 Shown Crunching Cryptocurrency at Full Mining Rate
Update: It seems like the mining algorithm used here wasn t Ethereum but Octopus which is a different cryptocurrency coin and based on an algorithm that NVIDIA might not have limited its hash rate for yet. So as of right now, the hash rate limiter remains in place but if other crypto-currencies can give out similar profits as ETH, then that doesn t stop miners from consuming the card for mining purposes.
