Computing marketplace NiceHash announced the release of an update for Nvidia LHR RTX GPUs.
NiceHash announced the release of an update to the NiceHash QuickMiner ether mining software that 100% unlocks the hashrate of Nvidia LHR RTX video cards.
At the height of mining and the acute shortage of silicon chips in 2021, Nvidia installed a software “ether hash rate limiter” for flagship models and equipped the entire line of Nvidia’s latest generation RTX 3000 graphics cards with LHR technology. In this way, the corporation tried to protect itself from the massive buying of top-end video cards by miners, which would make the product practically inaccessible to gamers.
However, after Nvidia introduced software restrictions, suggestions of workarounds began to appear regularly in the Ethereum mining community.
For example, the LAPSUS$ hacker group claims to have infiltrated Nvidia servers, found out a working way to unlock RTX 3000 video cards for ether mining, and are ready to sell the data.
While Nvidia’s LHR cannot prevent miners from using their cards to mine Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, none of these workarounds prevented miners from using 100% of their RTX GPUs’ hashrate to mine Ethereum.
“If you use LHR graphics cards with NiceHash QuickMiner, you will now be able to make more profit than with any other mining software on the market. Support for NiceHash Miner will appear in the near future,” NiceHash QuickMiner developers assure.
In early May, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined NVIDIA Corporation $5.5 million on charges of hiding information from investors about the role of mining in the company’s revenue structure.
