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.

At least AMD just said they don't give a shit and sell everything and make a profit.
Nvidia still makes a profit selling everything, so why this theatre?

I mean in theory there's a threshold where mining is no longer profitable. Yeah they are selling everything, but let's say 80% are to gamers 20% are to miners - enabling this might make it 85% to gamers 15% to miners - still 100% of cards sold but the distribution is different because some miners no longer see the card as valuable or see a return on investment given a set period of time.

More PR words. maybe if the just stop my gpu able to do the mining in first place from hardware stand point it might work. as it stands all this nothing more word by PR to make it look like they care, in reality they dont there going to bank hard with all this they are even using actual vaild excuse to increase prices

You can't stop GPUs from mining - in most cases the workloads purposely resemble gaming ones because they want the mining to be done on consumer GPUs and not ASICs. Which is why Nvidia can only nerf very specific parts of the crypto mining to a certain degree -- in fact the first LHR implementation did effect other workload performance.
I don't see how they are using it as a valid excuse to increase prices.
