NVIDIA has reported that the GeForce RTX 3060 will halve Etherea’s mining performance by detecting this mining. The power limiter is supposed to be a combination of measures in the card’s silicon itself, its BIOS and drivers, and it works from the user’s point of view simply by the card mining at full power for a while before the system responds and automatically reduces performance. It is not halved, but a decrease to about 26 MH / s means that the acquisition and operation of an Etherea mining card will not pay off.

But we learned yesterdaythat a certain Chinese miner should have broken this protection, which he mentioned on Twitter @I_Leak_VN. In the leaked image, mining was shown on a total of eight GeForce RTX 3060 cards with full power above 45 MH / s, and it might seem that NVIDIA protection was really down. But this is not the case. –

Shortly after the original report was published, critical voices began to emerge that the publication of a heavily cropped screenshot was already suspicious in itself, and people argued that it would most likely be Conflux mining using the Octopus algorithm, or not Ethereum. . This was eventually confirmed by @I_Leak_VN himself, so we can say that NVIDIA protection has not been breached. At least for now.
However, the author of the image, which made such a fuss, still has eight GeForce RTX 3060s in his computer, which he uses for mining. A customer who would like to purchase at least one of these cards for their gaming computer may not care that Ethereum cannot be used on it. Protection may discourage some miners who are only interested in Ethereum, but behind them may be an army of others who are not so picky.
