5-7MH more? Sorry to say this isn't alot achievement but at least we are getting somewhere, I heard this cards are built with LHR in their silicon not the driver so it may actually take longer to find a way around this limitation, thanks for sharing
I don't think its in the silicon. They wouldn't spend millions on R&D having to have a new chip made just for LHR. Most likely its just some software (firmware) area which leads to the lower hashrate. Hence the reason why some fixes such as this are working. Yes its not a perfect fix but its at least something. Miners in general shouldn't be buying these LHR gpus anyways thinking that one day some software fix is going to be out.
Keep in mind, Nvidia is a billion dollar company, so they most likely know that most are using it to mine ETH And they programmed the driver/firmware to detect certain computations and trigger something to have a lower hashrate. Can be anything such as constantly checking the DAG for a share when in most games there wouldn't be this much memory computations.
I think in 6-12 months time, when things calm down. They won't be releasing anymore of these LHR versions.
