NBMiner Update Restores up to 70% Mining Performance of NVIDIA LHR GPUs
The latest version of NBMiner, a software that helps you mine Ethereum, purportedly restores up to 70% of the mining performance of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs with LHR (lite hash-rate). The latest batches of the company's GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070, RTX 3060 Ti, and RTX 3060, are LHR by default, meaning that the GPUs feature a mining hash-rate limiter that throttles the GPU when faced with workloads resembling mining; with the idea being that they become unviable for miners.
The latest NBMiner update doesn't completely restore mining performance for LHR, but works around the LHR restrictions. The ETH mining hashrate is increased from 50% to 68-70%, which is a definite improvement. This is also the first public miner with improvements made to LHR GPU mining performance. Until now, only private mining groups have claimed to develop custom miners with workarounds for LHR GPUs.

It must affect other types of workloads?
musings
also i think techpowerup is in cahoots with nividia im curious how nvflash works one day with my 3070 then all this lhr comes out then cert bypass wont work with the card anymore same bios same card !
and lhr is new hw, that is supposed to defeat mining, so its not a surprise they would introduce new locks on the bios.
lets mix you with the people thinking nvidia should sue us for hosting nvidias .dll files
You need to clarify wtf the issue is, because that sentence makes no sense.
So you are saying just flashing a new bios, you can beat the new LHR measures? Are you saying your 3070 is an LHR?
Stop the trolling, thread crapping, and bickering.
Stop insulting other members.
Have a civil and technical discussion.
Thank you and Have a Good Day.
and im not peddling anything im telling you what happened if you like it or not
I don't think you are intentionally being misleading FWIW. I just think you may have reached the wrong conclusions, but we'll see.
