Nvidia assures that miners will not be able to bypass protection against Ethereum mining in GeForce RTX 3060

Yesterday it became known that Nvidia will limit the performance of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3060 video card when mining Ethereum, and for miners will generally release specialized accelerators, the release of which supposedly will not affect the production of game cards.

Nvidia assures that miners will not be able to bypass protection against Ethereum mining in GeForce RTX 3060

Today we learned that the algorithms to be used against mining in the case of the RTX 3060 will work for other Ampere models as well, but it is unclear if Nvidia will use this.

Recall that they are implemented at the BIOS and driver level. Will miners be able to bypass such protection? Nvidia claims no.

Users will not be able to remove the hash limiter from the driver. There is a link between the driver, GPU RTX 3060 and BIOS that prevents the hash rate limiter from being removed

Whether this is actually so is not yet clear, but if the protection is really reliable, this should have a positive effect on the availability of the younger Ampere video card for gamers. True, one should hardly expect a radical change in the situation, since, contrary to the opinion of many, miners are not at all to blame for the shortage of video cards.
