The mining limiter on Nvidia video cards was bypassed using the utility

NiceHash developers bypassed Nvidia's limiter for mining on parts of RTX 30 LHR series video cards.

Using the QuickMiner utility, specialists restored the full performance of most GPUs, with the exception of GeForce RTX 3050 and GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB, using the new LHR algorithm.

Several third-party testers have confirmed the functionality of the utility. After unlocking, the performance of the RTX 3080 Ti reached almost 117 MH/s instead of the previously available 80 MH/s.

So far, the method only works on Windows computers and supports the only Dagger Hashimoto (Ethash) algorithm.

Recall that in February 2021, Nvidia released an updated LHR line of RTX 3000 video cards, for which it halved the power of devices during Ethereum mining. So the company planned to focus the GPU on the needs of gamers.

However, later miners learned to return up to 70% of the original performance to video cards and bypass the lock by simultaneously mining two digital coins.

In March 2022, custom video cards appeared on the popular Chinese platform for selling used things Goofish, which allow bypassing the Nvidia limiter for mining at the expense of a mobile processor.
