The performance limits of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 for cryptocurrency mining have once again been bypassed. This time with an experimental driver released by the software maker itself. report<\/a> by Japanese media.<\/p>\n

The GeForce driver, originally developed to support the [simple_tooltip content=’software-hardware architecture of parallel computing’]CUDA[\/simple_tooltip] technology in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), allowed boosting the graphics processor nearly to 48.5 MH\/s when mining Ethereum.<\/p>\n

Miners who discovered the loophole did not have to modify the driver or BIOS to lift the limiter.<\/p>\n

Overclocking the memory frequency from 15 GHz to 16.6 GHz raises the RTX 3060’s hash rate for Ethereum mining to almost 46 MH\/s.<\/p>\n

The publication notes that using the driver can ‘hack’ only a single card of this model. The hash power of two cards would halve. Experts explain this by the fact that the GeForce RTX 3060 is equipped with a full-speed PCIe x16 adapter, and the PCIe x1 bus commonly used is insufficient.<\/p>\n

Some users on various social networks confirmed they had bypassed the RTX 3060’s limits and achieved a hash rate above 45 MH\/s.<\/p>\n
