You can find a way to avoid "GeForce RTX 3060" mining restrictions by using a dummy HDMI adapter

NVIDIA's new video card "GeForce RTX 3060".The card has been restricted to prevent "mining", which is one of the causes of recent video card supply, and is also the cause of the soaring price, but how to avoid it.I got it.

The method discovered this time is a format that uses the HDMI connector.In the demonstration, Overseas Media Hardwareluxx staff Andreas School has confirmed through a test that the driver restricts the mining of "GeForce RTX 3060" when multiple GPUs are operated.

In normal operation, if the "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti" is used as the primary display adapter and the "GeForce RTX 3060" is used as a secondary card, the mining restriction is immediately activated, and the hash rate is not a maximum of 50MH/s for which this card is realized.It is said that it was lowered to 21-22MH/s.This is to detect which GPU is used as a display adapter, and at the same time check whether multiple GPUs are running in parallel, and whether the mining algorithm is running on those GPUs.It seems to be.

In the method discovered this time, just prepare a dummy HDMI adapter and connect it to the card, the driver thinks that other cards are operating as a display adapter, avoiding conditions and achieving mining without restrictions.increase.Andreas School reports on his Twitter that the "GeForce RTX 3060", which was restricted when it operated with "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti", was mining without hash rate restrictions.
