Apparently, a new GeForce software driver can easily lift the Ethereum mining limitation on the RTX 3060 graphics cards. Whether Nvidia deliberately added this functionality remains unclear.
Turns out you can easily remove the anti-cryptocurrency mining limiter on Nvidia’s RTX 3060 graphics cards—thanks to the company’s own software driver. On Monday, Japanese site PC Watch reported it was able to mine Ethereum with an RTX 3060 card at full capacity, instead of merely at 50%. Most importantly, the mining occurred with “little effort,” meaning no need to hack the graphics card at all. Subsequently, German IT publication Hardwareluxx and Crypto Mining Blog confirmed you can mine Ethereum on an RTX 3060 simply by installing a newly released software driver from Nvidia.
