If a few minutes ago Nvidia announced that with its GeForce RTX 3060 a new era of cryptocurrency mining was beginning, now we can see what this translates into, and curiously the first example we see with a Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge, curiously , because it was Zotac USA that yesterday showed chest that its graphics, focused on gamers, were to end up in the hands of cryptocurrency miners.
The graphics card, obviously leaked, was tested by a mining expert called CryptoLeo, who verified how the GeForce RTX 3060 began to mine with a Hash Rate of 41.5 MH / s, but after one or two minutes of mining the protection implemented by Nvidia entered. and the performance fell to 24-26 MH / s, that is, it loses almost half of its performance.
The most interesting thing of all is that this coating did not come at the driver level, since the new graphics drivers were not installed, which suggests that the 'anti-mining' algorithms were implemented in the BIOS of the graphics card itself, which which already makes it extremely difficult to remove this coating, and more so when any BIOS of the GeForce RTX 3060 will have the integrated algorithm, along with the addition of mandatory drivers for the GPU that will add another layer of protection
