Nvidia's plans to separate gaming and mining demand could be foiled after a custom modification allegedly bypassed the RTX 3060's Ether mining limitations.
Nvidia’s attempt to shift Ether (ETH) miners away from its new GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card by limiting its hash rate appears to have been short-lived.
Screenshots posted by tech leak Twitter account I_Leak_VN show a stack of eight RTX 3060 graphics cards operating at far above Nvidia’s 20-25 MH/s mining limit, while reportedly using Ethereum’s Dagger-Hashimoto mining algorithm.
On the same day, a cryptocurrency-focused Facebook group from Vietnam posted a graphic announcing that the RTX 3060 had indeed been bypassed, and could now reach its full power of 50 MH/s thanks to a mod.
