NiceHash breaks Nvidia’s LHR mining limiter
Popular mining software company NiceHash has today released the first software that can fully unlock Nvidia’s light hashrate (LHR) mining limiter on specific graphics cards, unleashing their full speed when mining crypto coin Ethereum.
There have been several false starts with the mining community’s efforts to break Nvidia’s light hashrate (LHR) mining limiter, but it seems NiceHash is the first mining software company to fully unlock mining performance on LHR cards.
The RTX 3070 Ti and LHR versions of the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3060 are also listed as seeing big increases when using Nicehash.
The news comes as a blow to gamers who have seen lower prices for graphics cards in recent weeks as crypto prices fell and graphics card supplies improved with many even retailing for MSRP.
It’s far from a simple situation, but in the short term, we can probably expect the price of LHR cards to rise again assuming miners turn to them instead of more expensive non-LHR models.
