I watched a video by some Russian guy named Crypto Leo. He had a Zotac 3060 and was given credit in a article by videocardz.com as confirming that on ETH it did indeed cut the hash rate in half.
What the article didn't go on to say was that in a follow up video he tested the 5 top money algo's out right now and the card actually did close to or better than a 3060 TI in 3 of them. Octopus, Cortex and Cuckatoo31. All of which give this card a great ROI at under $400.
Exactly, it only halves Ethhash algo. There are a few Algos that are close to Eth profitability wise that you can mine and ROI pretty quickly and then switch later if there is ever a fix found for Ethhash. |

Will the bull market last long enough for Nvidia to need to try to roll this out to new skus like the 3080TI or to kill old sku's as rumored and add it anti ETH technology to it's full ampere line? Maybe
In the short term is this gonna drive up demand for cards that aren't hampered you bet. Will the 3000's series cards already out hold their value better now? I think so.
Sadly gamers or small miners can't line up and score a card at their local Best Buy due to "covid". They now have to compete on a national level unless they have a Microcenter close by or a good local parts store that has been getting an allocation of cards. I have neither.
Now gamers who could use the card in off hours to pay off a portion of it or potentially build wealth in the digital world on what will likely be a widely used card can't. And the big guys win again.
Be nice if AMD would put out a card with good gaming and mining capability again.
You forgot that you can pay scalpers on Ebay a $1000 premium for a 3080 or 3090. They are flying like pancakes at these prices. I didn't forget this. If I could sit at Bestbuy overnight and get a card I could bypass the additional money asked by resellers who have stock available now. If I was a gamer looking for one card I would be happy I got one at MSRP. I can buy a bot or pay a friend to code one so I can sell some "hotcakes" and keep ones I like for my farm. Doesn't make sense for someone looking for a single card.... |

What a clusterfuck. Nvidia should have just made it so that multiple low cost consumer level cards couldn't be addressed on a single motherboard (which isn't even needed by the consumer market anymore anyway since SLI is dead) while leaving the function operational on flagship cards and pro level cards. That would have forced anyone wanting to operate large mining operations to upgrade to their far costlier pro level equipment, thereby significantly cutting down on miners taking "gamer" cards, thus appeasing their fanbase, while also increasing their bottom line by selling more higher margin parts, which would make their shareholders happy.

kinda a joke software/driver limiter which land on world of programmer, but atleast there is room to buy when miner worried about it, scalper faster on buying hardware
this will be same story like before, i still buy it at first release, for gaming purpose and mining testing

Would it be possible to edit 3060 BIOS or flash 3060ti BIOS on it. I believe the problem is in BIOS because one dude used current drivers and the card still downclocked

Possible? Yes likely no... We still do not have an ethlargement pill for 20 series cards. |

How does the driver detect ETHASH is running on the card? After detection of ETHASH, the driver must be sending a preset signal to the card and the bios loads a low perf setting.

I wonder if the Limiter will be crippling the GPU's performance or if you might be able to mine another coin while mining Eth at a reduced hashrate.

Interesting thought but I doubt it. The scheduler could be gimped to force the Eth process to suspend even if no other process is waiting. But I'm assuming the GPU is gimped by lowering the clock, disabling HW optimizations like cache or things like that. It might even affect an attached monitor. A deep dive is required to reverse engineer it. |

It's only a matter of time, I know there are some bad ass coders out there, they will find ways around this RTX3060 issue and NVIDIA will be put to shame but I have RTX 3060ti and 3070, I probably won't be needing the RTX 3060 anyways

It would have been so much simpler, and a lot less aggravating to all, just to keep selling
the RTX-2000 until RTX-3000 supply ramped up.
One ironic twist is CMPs based on Turing may be more available than RTX-3000s.
That will piss off gamers even more, with no option to buy Turing.

Both EVGA 3060 Ti XC and 3060 XC hashrates at the exact same settings in HIVEOS: Eth: 3060 Ti: 58 MH 3060: 24 MH Octopus: 3060 Ti: Didn't test 3060: 44 MH  |

No need to rush to buy new graphics cards. I always try to wait for the official tests.
On laptops, the hash rate is not blocked. I think miners will soon find a way to break Nvidia's limitations.
3060 Ti: 48 MH on Octopus algorithm
but 3060 more profit could have been received on Ethereum mining

You don't need to flash the bios, you need a tool like the Pill. I am pretty sure someone will come up with a solution |
