It was recently confirmed that Nvidia’s crypto mining limiter for the majority of its RTX 30 cards has been fully unlocked. Now, the last two remaining boards that were stuck at 50% mining performance have now been cracked as well.

NiceHash, which introduced the 100% crypto mining tool for Nvidia GPUs, has revealed that it has managed to unlock 90% mining performance for LHRv3 (Light Hash Rate version 3) boards.

As reported by Tom’s Hardware, NiceHash has released the hash rate unlock for the RTX 3050 8GB and RTX 3080 12GB variants. The QuickMiner application will push said GPUs to 90% mining performance as opposed to the 100% Ethereum (ETH) mining unlocker it launched for the rest of the RTX 30-series lineup.

A reason was not provided as to why a full 100% unlock could not be achieved, but 90% is still a marked improvement from the official 50% cap Nvidia imposed for LHRv3-based models.

Other graphics cards that come with Light Hash Rate version 2, however, can deliver 100% mining power to crypto miners, including the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.

Apart from the 90% unlock for LHRv3 GPUs, NiceHash QuickMiner version 0.5.4.2 RC features “major stability improvements” — you’ll need Nvidia driver version 512.15 or higher to run the program.

Tom’s Hardware highlights how Nvidia introduced LHR algorithms in February 2021 amid a market where crypto miners (due to the unprecedented cryptocurrency boom) depleted almost all of the existing stock for RTX 30 boards.

The RTX 3080, 3070, 3060 Ti, and 3060 boards in particular were launched with a LHRv2 mining limiter. As for the GeForce RTX 3050 8GB and RTX 3080 12GB models that hit the market during 2022, these video cards came with an updated, harder-to-crack…
