As we can read in Videocardzseems to be that the latest version of NVIDIA graphics drivers brings an undocumented noveltyand it is that although at the time the hashrate limiter for mining called LHR was added -something that included the launch of modified graphics cards— now NVIDIA has taken a step back.
The reason why NVIDIA has decided to withdraw this limiter that involved the manufacture of specific hardware is unknown, but in the end it is also true that it does For a few months, companies like Nicehash managed to bypass this limiter almost completely.
Also, for some time now it is hardly profitable to mine cryptocurrencies with graphics cards, so this is definitely a curious move that NVIDIA probably won’t comment on. Graphics cards like the RTX 3080 Ti, which was released straight out of the box with the LHR limiter, they are obtaining rates higher than 100 MH/s, figures that were already achieved by users who managed to unlock their cards.
Yes it is true that this limiter could have caused some problem to users who were not mining, but that they were performing tasks similar to mining that this limiter could have affectedso in general, it is one less component working in our system.
