NV blocks RTX 3060 mining performance. Miners are not satisfied: they can still make money

During the time when the RTX 3060 graphics card is about to go on the market, NVIDIA finally dealt with the mining card. A few days ago, the mining performance was restricted through the program, and the RTX 3060 mining performance was directly reduced by half.

According to NV, if it detects that the RTX 3060 is running a specific attribute of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, it will limit the hash rate or cryptocurrency mining efficiency to about 50%, forcing miners to give up buying this graphics card.

This limitation is not only the driver, but the official has also confirmed that there are lower-level technologies that limit the mining performance, so it is impossible for ordinary hackers to crack it. It is very difficult for miners to bypass the RTX 3060 mining limitation.

The latest actual measurement results also prove this point. RTX 3060 graphics card Hash performance loss is at least 40%, which seriously affects mining revenue.

However, can such a ban allow miners to let go of the RTX 3060 graphics card and buy NVIDIA's official dedicated mining chips instead? In fact, this is not the case, even if it can't be cracked, the miners will still be able to dig.

Some YT bloggers calculated based on the latest situation. Although the income of mining ETH in RTX 3060 is greatly reduced, mining other currencies are also profitable. Among them, the daily income of Conflux coin is still US$6.8, even more than the previous ETH. The benefits are even higher.

In short, even though NVIDIA has begun to block the mining capabilities of RTX 3060 graphics cards, cutting down 50% of the performance is not enough to reverse the current trend. When one door is closed, there are still many doors open. The miners have a low price. The demand for the RTX 3060 with power consumption remains unchanged, and mining can still make money.
