Nvidia claims RTX 3060 mining limiter was removed accidentally

A day after news broke of the removal of the RTX 3060 mining limiter, Nvidia issued a short statement claiming responsibility. Thus, the guesses were confirmed that the absence of a limiter is a mistake of the company. The company has already removed the driver with the erroneously disabled limiter from its website, but, as you know, what gets on the Internet remains on the Internet.

The driver has inadvertently included code used for internal development that removes the hash rate limiter on the RTX 3060 in some configurations.

The driver has been removed.

Note that the driver does not work for all configurations. So, it does not work for video cards to which a monitor is not connected, or for video cards connected through a riser. Contrary to previous information on this, configurations with multiple GPUs are supported, but only if the cards are inserted directly into the slots on the motherboard and monitors or special dummy plugs are connected to the monitor connectors.

According to a source referring to “people familiar with the question,” the driver works with cards from Asus, Palit, EVGA, Galax, Gigabyte and MSI. However, some users have encountered problems with Zotac and Inno3D graphics cards.
