This week, nicehash announced that all the LHR graphics cards of RTX 30 (except RTX 3050 / 3080 12g) have been cracked and can restore 100% of the original computing power. Don't worry about the virus trap. After tmhw and other media downloaded this special software quickminer, they found that what they said was true.
Take RTX 3080 Ti as an example (LHR is available on the market). Previously, the maximum cracking power was 70% of the original computing power, that is, 85MH / s. now it can finally be restored to about 110mh / s. Although nicehash said that RTX 3080 Ti can actually reach a maximum of 120mh / s, the premise is to improve the intensity of "exercise" and overclock the video memory (the high temperature of 110 degrees can't be hit).
As soon as the incident happened, some users began to worry about whether the matter of hoarding cards and mining would make a comeback, that is, bid farewell to the good days of graphics card price reduction and the market rebounded again
In this regard, tmhw believes that it is unlikely.
First of all, even for RTX 3080 Ti, the revenue from running all day is only $3.50, that is, it can get back in one year.
Secondly, Ethereum is expected to switch from POW to POS in June, when computing power will no longer be bound with revenue.
Thirdly, NVIDIA is likely to update the third version of LHR graphics card to reactivate the cat and mouse game of cracking and anti cracking.
