the application of cryptocurrency mining NBMiner is now capable of lowering the mining limits of GeForce 3000 series graphics cards by up to 70%. According to VideoCardz, this is possible thanks to the developers of the program.

According to the developers of NBMiner, NVIDIA "accidentally" released a driver that removes the hash rate limiter. However, they stress that NBMiner does not remove the block on affected chips for mining. Instead, the program determines the maximum hash rate for a specific GPU.

So far, the change is only useful for cryptocurrencies based on the ethash algorithm, such as ETHER, Callisto, Expanse and MOAC).

NVIDIA has released the RTX 3080, 3070 and 3060 Ti GPU models with hash limitations since early 2021. These graphics cards belong to the Lite Hash Rate (LHR) family. All NVIDIA RTX 30 GPUs produced today, with the exception of the GeForce RTX 3090, still have an LHR limiter by default.

At the end of March, the Canadian company Hut 8 announced the purchase of specialty graphics cards from NVIDIA for US$ 30 million, a one-time purchase that is equivalent to around 60% of the company's forecast sales of specialty graphics cards.

Additionally, NVIDIA's line of miners can be replenished with a new device with a power equal to almost two GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards. The processing power of this graphics card can be around 210Mh/s. In comparison, the power of the flagship GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card in the factory state is approximately 120 Mh/s.
