Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 With Full Unrestricted ETH Mining Hashrate, But Only With Single GPU in a Gaming PC

It seems that a workaround to the artificially enforced hashrate limiter for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs mining Ethereum has been discovered and it is pretty simple apparently. You just need to use the developer driver version 470.05 where there is apparently no hashrate limiting being applied, unlike with the regular GeForce video driver that you would normally download for these video cards. This has been reported by some users and we can confirm that it is indeed working and you can get the full mining hashrate for Ethereum with this driver, however there is still a catch… read…

Pre-orders Are Apparently Open for Nvidia CMP 30HX Mining GPUs

It seems that Nvidia is getting ready to start shipping their CMP HX Dedicated GPUs for Professional Crypto Mining that were announced last month. The company is apparently taking pre-orders from their partners for deliveries starting probably in early April for the lowest-end mining model – NVIDIA CMP 30HX D6 6G. Nvidia has rated the 6GB CMP 30HX GPU at 26 MH/s with 125W of power usage for Ethereum mining, though with further optimizations 28-32 MH/s could be possible (like on RTX 2060 or GTX 1660 models). The not so good news here, as we have expected unfortunately, is that…

TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.37.0 With Nvidia GDDR6X Memory Temperature Monitoring

It seems that the HWiNFO tool is no longer the only software that allows you to check the GDDR6X video memory temperature on Nvidia RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 GPUs. The latest TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.37.0 apparently also supports the display of the temperature of the hot GDDR6X memory chips and not only that, but also features support and reports the GPU Hot Spot temperature as well. It is interesting to note however that these two features apparently were left unannounced as getting added in the changelog of the latest version that has been released about two weeks ago.

Mining Performance of Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 OC Edition

The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 video cards are here and we managed to buy one quickly while there was some stock left to do some mining benchmarks and tests. We already know that mining performance for the RTX 3060 is limited for Ethereum, but what else can you mine with the full performance is something that we also wanted to find out for sure. As we have predicted availability and pricing of the RTX 3060 is off the charts as people expected these GPUs to be the sweet spot for mining Ethereum – high hashrate and low price. Neither…

5 Years In, Ethereum Network Growth Echoes Nvidia’s Pre-2016 Bull Run

5 Years In, Ethereum Network Growth Echoes Nvidia’s Pre-2016 Bull Run

The Ethereum network appears to be following the likes of Nvidia and other tech sector giants whose use case and growth strategy model evolved over time. In July 2016, a mere four years ago, Nvidia was a $26-billion company focused on GPU chips and graphic card production. In comparison, the long-standing sector leader was Intel Corp, with a $166-billion market capitalization. The nearly 40-year old chip manufacturer was a blue-chip Fortune 500 company and at the time, it was likely unfazed by such a small competitor.Nvidia’s previous peak market capitalization occurred in October 2007 as its value approached $22 billion. After…
