Recently NVIDIA announced that the upcoming graphics card driver GeForce RTX 3060 will decrease device performance by 50% upon detection of cryptocurrency mining Ethereum… However, soon after the announcement, representatives of the technical media began to receive more information from NVIDIA about the implementation of the algorithm.
First, this technology will work not only for Windows… This was an important issue as Windows only used small miners and large farms relied on distributions Linux… The NVIDIA Linux driver is not open source, which means it controls more than the user has.
IN Twitter Brian Del Rizzo, Director of Global PR for GeForce, Confirms Mining Protection Technology Is Tied On Driver, Chip GPU and BIOS… There have already been speculations about the latter, since the limited performance of the video card was discovered earlier…
More importantly, according to an insider @ kopite7kimiNVIDIA Will Restart Existing Graphics Cards Under New Device ID – Future Models RTX 3090, 3080, 3070 and 3060Ti will be equipped with a mining protection algorithm. It is not known when NVIDIA will announce this itself. This also means that already sold graphics cards will not receive a performance limiter.
Hi Ryan. It’s not just a driver thing. There is a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that prevents removal of the hash rate limiter.
