Cryptominers aren’t taking Nvidia’s efforts to thwart cryptomining lying down.
The latest release of NBMiner, a popular Ethereum cryptomining tool, has significantly cut into cryptomining limiter on Nvidia’s RTX Light Hash Rate (LHR) graphics cards. According to VideoCardz, the new update to the NBMiner tool improves the cryptomining efficiency of RTX 3000-series LHR graphics cards up to 70%, up from the 50% implemented by Nvidia in an attempt to stop the new graphics cards from being bought up wholesale by cryptominers and not gamers and enthusiasts. The new update only applies to Ethereum mining using the ethash algorithm, and it doesn’t «unlock» the LHR restriction.
