Yesterday NVIDIA introduced the corporate’s first Crypto Mining Processor (CPM) that serves the aim of getting a devoted processor just for mining with no video outputs. Alongside the brand new processors, the corporate has additionally introduced that within the subsequent driver replace the GeForce RTX 3060 GPU will get Etherium mining efficiency halved, limiting using this GPU SKU by miners. However, up till now, we’ve got thought that NVIDIA is limiting the mining efficiency of this card by merely having a driver detect if crypto mining algorithms are in place and restrict the efficiency. However, that does not appear to be the case. According to Bryan Del Rizzo, director of world PR for GeForce, extra issues are working behind the driving force.
According to Mr. Del Rizzo: “It’s not just a driver thing. There is a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that prevents removal of the hash rate limiter.” This implies that primarily, NVIDIA can discover any technique to cripple the mining hash charge even for those who did not replace your driver model. At the identical time, in accordance with Kopite7Kimi, we’re probably anticipating to see NVIDIA relaunch its current SKUs underneath a unique ID, which might function a built-in anti-crypto mining algorithm. What the corporate does stays to be seen.
