Ambitious miners managed to beat the NVIDIA RTX 3060 hash rate limiter less than a month after its launch. Most likely, the mined currency is Conflux, not Etherium. After all, the performance of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 for mining the latter is still about 25 MHz / s.
It is still unknown how the miners managed to accomplish such a feat. Some insiders believe that a downgraded version of vBIOS is to blame, while others argue that the hack was due to modified drivers.
At the moment there is no detailed information on how exactly the “hacked” mechanism works. A group of Vietnamese miners on Facebook have announced the GPU’s ability to accelerate to 50 MHz / s. However, not a single major official source has confirmed the functionality of the modification. Nvidia itself has repeatedly emphasized that it is impossible to hack the protection of the RTX 3060.
Recall that on February 25, Nvidia released the GeForce RTX 3060 video card with an anti-mining function. That is, between the driver, the RTX 3060 graphics chip and the firmware of the card there is an additional system for checking and exchanging data, which prevents the removal or modification of the hash rate limiter of the video card installed by the manufacturer.
