NVIDIA Re-Enables LHR On Its Graphics Cards With New Driver
As it seems the new NVIDIA driver, 512.95, re-enables the mining limiting (LHR Lite Hash Rate) on RTX 30 graphics cards. By installing the new driver, all Windows-based mining software will return to the original hash rate, which is typically 50 to 70% depending on the algorithm and software.
While an interesting move,m we need tor to realize ... miners whon;t care as they can simply install the older 512.77 driver, which predates the latter and completely unlocks LHR. NVIDIA's Lite Hash Rate technology attempts to discourage miners from purchasing their devices. Unfortunately, the crypto mining community swiftly cracked the LHR lock by 70%, over a year and a half after the first LHR cards were launched. The full LHR unlock, on the other hand, has only been available for a few weeks.
In a nutshell, installing these graphics drivers reduces mining performance by nearly half, with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 LHR going from mining 46 MH/s in Ethereum to 25 MH/s.

The only people that are punished by this are gamers who want to mine in their free time. Why would miners update their drivers? So dumb.

Maybe Nvidia expects to find a MASSIVE security flaw that would require even miners to switch to the newest drivers.

instead of having to manufactor one card they have to manufactor another card that tries to limit that mining, which technically has been bypass for while. so because that to make diffrent card (LHR) instead of the one that pass those expenses along to us.
Any one who think Nvidia and AMD arnt using the mining chip shorts now as excuse to increase prices is just head in sand they cant keep card in stock and when they do there sold out instantly then scalped
They don't manufacture a card for LHR, it's just a bios update.

Probably just testing it out for the new cards.
