> Hi Ryan. It's not just a driver thing. There is a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that prevents removal of the hash rate limiter<p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/bdelrizzo/status/1362619264423747590" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/bdelrizzo/status/1362619264423747...</a><p>> Just a minute or two after starting, the hash rate has dropped from 41.5 MH/s to 26-24 MH/s. Since the author of the video has no drivers for this card, this would suggest that the anti-mining algorithm is not present in the software, but rather implemented in the BIOS itself.<p><a href="https://videocardz.com/newz/zotac-geforce-rtx-3060-early-gpu-mining-test-shows-reduced-hashrate-in-action" rel="nofollow">https://videocardz.com/newz/zotac-geforce-rtx-3060-early-gpu...</a><p>They wrongly claim that the author has no drivers as can be seen from the source video but come to the correct conclusion as confirmed above.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=282Ozbp-Uv8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=282Ozbp-Uv8</a>
