Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Also With Ethereum Hashrate Limiter
The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti also came out “with a reduced Ethereum hash rate” just like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 before it, making the new Ti GPUs less desirable for crypto miners. The just released Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is almost equivalent in terms of specifications to an RTX 3090 GPU, but with half the video memory, so only 12GB GDDR6X instead of the full 24GB.
In terms of CUDA cores for the new RTX 3080 Ti there is a very slight reduction and that goes for memory clocks too, but the memory bus remains 384-bit, so in theory performance wise it should be very similar to an RTX 3090 and that goes not only for mining hashrate, but for gaming performance as well.
It would’ve been perfect if there was no Ethereum hashrate limiter enforced by Nvidia that messes things up a bit for miners, but not for gamers and the reduced in half video memory should also be making it more affordable and more available to gamers compared to RTX 3080… in theory.
Trying to mine Ethereum (ETH) at stock settings for the RTX 3080 Ti shows a starting hashrate at about 100 MH/s that quickly drops down to around 53–55 MH/s with the…
