F1 2022: PC graphics performance benchmark review
NiceHash has a bypass around Lite Hash Rate throttling on nearly all RTX 30 graphics cards.
It is unclear how NiceHash managed to eliminate the mining rate limits. Previously, developers created software that recovered 68 percent of the hashrate of the video cards in question, while NiceHash recovers the entire 100 percent.
NiceHash provides a screenshot of a QuickMiner installation that employs 100 percent of an RTX 3080 Ti, resulting in a hashrate of 120.12MH/s. Benchmark.pl backs this up with their own tests. The first NVIDIA LHR algorithm was mistakenly unlocked by NVIDIA after non-LHR drivers were released prior to the introduction of an improved LHR algorithm with the RTX 3060, which is currently featured on all RTX 30 cards except the RTX 3090. Before releasing this complete unlock, the NiceHash developers had previously revealed an unlock mechanism to reach 70% mining performance by August 2021. A Benchmark team independently verified this unlock, recording hash rates of 117 MH/s with the RTX 3080 Ti, up from 85 - 88 MH/s previously.

We are very excited to tell you that NiceHash QuickMiner (Excavator) is the first mining software to FULLY (100%) UNLOCK LHR cards!Now you can earn more profits than any other mining software on the market if you are using LHR graphics cards with NiceHash QuickMiner. Support for NiceHash Miner is coming soon.

What would they say and why? LHR was just a marketing stunt back then, when gamers were getting majorly frustrated about not being able to get cards. It's the series on store shelves now, but development wise RTX 3000 is already history for Nvidia. They are busy preparing RTX 4000 for launch now.
Strange that NVIDIA is silent and does not say anything. the whole world already knows it.

in fact this LHR thing lasted a good time, if you think that this limits the ability to make money of some persons, it is impresive that they didn't fully cracked the first day

At first I was really surprised that it took so long to crack this. Then I realized that most (but clearly not all) people who invest everything into mining do so because they have no skills to do any real jobs, so, which among them is actually going to do the work?
Part of me wonders if future driver updates may interfere with the crack.

Well, I am not sure that the people hacking this aren't the guys who used to hack BIOSs for better results in overclocking, better stock fps etc.
So they might be making an unpaid, "for the sake of us all" thing into a paid job, upping big mining companies' results for cash, e.g. a certain amount of cash for every GPU type they hack for the mining company paying them (if they have a lot of 3060s, they might get something along 50kUSD to lift LHR on 3060s). At least I could imagine that.
Me too, but... why should commercial miners upgrade any drivers?

NBminer fully unlocked LHR 100%. Strange that NVIDIA is silent and does not say anything. the whole world already knows it.
