The cryptocurrency limiter on Nvidia's RTX 30-series cards has been removed, but it's been pretty useless for a while now.
, Nvidia has removed the LHR limiter from its cards completely. Many people are replying to social threads confirming an increase in hash rate on LHR GPUs with the new drivers, up to their non-LHR hash rate, and we've also tested the new drivers out on our test bench., with an RTX 3080 Ti, mining ethereum classic . That cryptocurrency is a continuation of an older version of ethereum from 2016.
For the record, not even the higher hash rate is anywhere close to profitable right now, especially not with the increased costs of energy today.I'm seeing some comments suggesting that Nvidia removed the LHR limiter to sell off old stock of RTX 30-series cards to miners, but that makes little to no sense. It has been increasingly difficult to make a profit from cryptocurrency mining for a large part of the year, even prior to the Merge, due to a wider cryptocurrency value write-off.
