Limited Mining Hashrate for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 is a Fact
Nvidia did manage to keep the promise to make the new GeForce RTX 3060 GPU limited for crypto mining and thus widely available for gamers (this is yet to be confirmed) due to artificially reducing performance for crypto mining with their new video cards. There is already information about the actual performance for crypto mining use for the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU that is expected to be available on February 25th and it seem that performance is limited to about half of what the GPU normally would be capable of doing… in Ethereum (ETH), but not only, though not for every algorithm apparently.
According to Nvidia the new video drivers for the RTX 3060 GPUs are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and will limit the hashrate, or cryptocurrency mining performance to half of what they will normally do. Essentially you will be getting half the hashrate you normally would if the card is running at full performance meaning that instead of the expected hashrate for RTX 3060 in the range of 40–45 MH/s for Ethereum with stock settings and optimized, so with the drivers cutting that in half we were expecting to see only…
