Affirming that the GeForce card belongs to the gamer, but NVIDIA released the driver that made the RTX 3060 come back to life … “buffalo plow”

Two news sites in Germany confirmed that just updating the new driver will disable the RTX 3060’s mining power-limiting feature.

Not long ago, NVIDIA announced that the RTX 3060 card will be equipped with firmware with the ability to reduce 50% of “mining effort”. At the same time, NVIDIA also confirmed that this feature is not only in software but also in hardware. This will make it impossible to unlock mining performance. However, just recently, NVIDIA’s claims no longer seem to be true.

HardwareLuxx and ComputerBase both confirmed that, using the latest GeForce 470.05 beta driver, the Ethereum mining hash rate has increased again without the need to install any additional firmware or special BIOS.

ComputeBase says GeForce 470.05 beta is a driver distributed by NVIDIA to developers in the Windows Insider Program. And when installing this driver, it seems that the feature of “squeezing” Ethereum mining performance on RTX 3060 has been disabled.

HardwareLuxx also agrees with the above opinion and takes the EVGA RTX 3060 card as an example.

At the moment, this driver only works with one GPU, so this can be good news for mining farmers to play. But the professional coin mining rig is still unknown. In addition, this driver is only compatible with Windows, and requires registration on the NVIDIA website to download.

However, for gamers, it is not very happy, because the card is rare, but the ability of the plowmen to dig freely anymore, how can … live.
