Besides the new ETH limiter, the GAxx2 GPUs will bring another feature also first introduced on the GeForce RTX 3060: Resizable BAR support.
This new round of alleged GAxx2 GPUs will have a revised version of the cryptocurrency mining limiter (which halved Ethereum hash rates) in place, as we’ve discussed on several occasions. NVIDIA’s first-generation crypto limiter introduced with the GeForce RTX 3060 is easily bypassed. Ethereum miners first fooled the limiter using a beta driver provided directly by NVIDIA. And NVIDIA’s crackdown on multi-GPU mining rigs was thwarted using a dummy HDMI plug.
