Graphics card manufacturer Nvidia has reintroduced a feature that limits crypto mining on its flagship RTX 3060 GPU, a month after a previous update accidentally removed the feature and enabled crypto miners to make use of the cards.
Nvidia has had a thorny relationship with crypto miners, who use its GPUs for the number-crunching required to mine proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum. The recent crypto bull run has seen miners snap up the cards, which were designed to power high-end gaming PCs—resulting in shortages and spiraling prices.
Facing mounting anger from gamers, Nvidia introduced hash rate limiters on its gaming GPUs, which throttle the cards’ mining performance. But a March beta driver release inadvertently allowed miners to bypass Nvidia’s restrictions, once again enabling the RTX 3060 to be used for crypto mining.
Now Nvidia has released the new GeForce 466.27 driver, which reinstates the hash rate limit. According to videocardz.com, future RTX 3060 card
