NVIDIA announced that their new mid-range RTX 3060 graphics card will have a built-in anti cryptocurrency mining firmware that will automatically reduce the mining hash rate by 50%. NVIDIA confirmed that this technology does not only work on the software level, but also on the hardware level. Bryan Del Rizzo claimed that there is a secure handshake between the driver and the BIOS that 'prevents removal of the hash rate limiter'. This today has been confirmed as untrue. Following PC Watch reports, HardwareLuxx and ComputerBase now both confirm that by using the GeForce 470.05 driver, the Ethereum hash rate limiter is not working. It was earlier claimed that by using a special BIOS and driver the limiter can easily be removed. As it turns out, the hash rate can already be removed simply by replacing the driver alone, without the necessity to flash a new firmware. The driver is available through a BETA program and it is not available publically.
